DIRECTIONS:
1) Run two pieces of metal through the die cut machine with the Snowflake Background Stencil and the rubber embossing mat. The Cuttlebug sandwich is: A Plate, stencil face down, metal face down, rubber embossing mat, and two B Plates.
2) Repeat step one with the Gothic Snowflake Stencil.
3) Put metal from step 2 blue side down on top of suede and use ball tool from the beginner tool kit to "pouf out" the snowflake areas.
4) Flip metal over and place on a smooth, hard surface.
5) Use teflon tool from basic kit to define edges around the snowflake.
6) Squeeze embossing backing paste into the back of snowflake. Let dry.
7) Paint the box with dark blue, inside and out. Include the latch.
9) Hold metal up to sides of box to measure and cut out metal. Be sure to cut around latch.
10) Adhere metal to box.
11) Place small mat pieces into the open square on the top (if there is one).
12) Adhere snowflake to lid. Trim around edges.
13) Sand to reveal snowflakes and distress edges.
You are done! So, now it is time to consider entering our Frosty Fun Challenge. Take a look at what Lynell said:
Ahhh...December! Brrrr....!!! This month we are challenging you to design a wintery delight. It can be something other than paper, but again we will have two winners: "Best interpretation of the challenge" and "best usage of Dreamweaver products". This last month of the year we will award each of these winners a brand new stencil design we are releasing at CHA. (It's a secret until the very end of the month!)
So, if you have a minute, check out all the blogs and get inspired!
