Snowflake Gift Set Supplies

Good morning I have a few minutes before work so I thought I would write up instructions from yesterday's late gift set post. I used a single stamp set from Unity called "Snowflake Joy". I must admit when I first received the set after ordering it I gasped on it's size. It was HUGE for me anyhow not being a scrapbooker I wondered how I was going to put the set to use. Now, I am so thrilled I did purchase it.

Throughout the ensemble I used two basic pigment inks by Colorbox soft white and silver. I also used two sizes of clear crystals, not sure of their size.

Picture "Joy" Unity UK 102W stamp set
5"x7" white picture frame (Big Lots) no matte
American Express ad in a catalog I saved (muted snowflake background) cut to size.
White Linen cs from Paper Goods
ColorBox silver pigment Ink
Detail Silver Embossing powder from Rubber Stamp Store
Tiny clear crystals
Tacky Glue
Ribbon KL

Picture "Snowflakes"
Unity stamp
Silver 8" x 10" frame matted with 2-5" x 3.5" cutouts (Joann's)
Silver Mica cs
Colorbox Soft White pigment ink
Embossing buddie
Seafoam White embossing powder
Tiny and larger clear crystals

Candles
Jenni Mouer created a wonderful tutorial for stamping on candles. I used her basic instructions but since I used a pigment ink I first stamped image on to tissue paper then embossed it using silver embossing powder (listed above) before adhering to the candles. After completed I attached a little bling using Tacky glue and 2 sizes of clear crystals.

Gift Card
Unity stamp
Linen cs and silver mica cs (listed above)
Lasting Impressions brass template B258
Spellbinders die (Architecture set) used the window for framing snowflake.
Colorbox Silver pigment Ink
Silver Embossing powder
3/4" Circle Punch
Ribbon

Completed card measures 4"x4". As you can see from the photo just a couple of layers, a touch of embossing to create this simple matching gift card.

This set would make a great gift set for those wishing to spend less then $20.00.

I also purchased some stones and a clear candle plate at Big Lots to complete this set. Cost of each $2.00.
