Supplies used (Close to My Heart): A Dash of Joy stamp set, Multi Square Windows Thin Cuts, Sapphire Exclusive Ink, Cardstock (White Daisy and Carolina), White Embossing Powder, and White Daisy Cards & Envelopes.
Also used laminating pouches.
I had this project in the back of my mind all week and wasn’t exactly sure what I was going to do. Then, I saw Jennifer McGuire’s video on embellished windows and I knew that would be a perfect technique to use with the Multi Square Windows Thin Cut. You sprinkle embossing powder in a laminating pouch and when you run it through the machine it melts creating this this cool effect! Thank you Jennifer!!
I debated putting the snowmen in front or behind the window and chose in front just because they stood out more but if you used a light amount of embossing powder, they would be cute “outside” as well. I cut the one bottom section out of the window to make the sentiment fit.
Here is a picture of it coming through the laminator, it is so much fun – like magic!
For this next card I used the Gold Tinsel Embossing Powder and created a shaker card. I also cut out more of the window for a new design. There is so much that you can do with this thin cut!
Supplies used are all Close to My Heart: A Dash of Joy stamp set, Multi Square Windows Thin Cuts, Cardstock (Candy Apple, Evergreen), Black Exclusive Ink, Gold Glitter Paper, Gold Loose Sequins, Gold Tinsel Embossing Powder, and White Daisy Cards and Envelopes.

I had to make one more trying the Silver Tinsel Embossing Powder but I ran out of foam tape. So I backed it with black paper to make it pop more and since our school colors are black and red, I changes this from a Christmas card to a graduation card!

Super duper cute projects! Love the snowmen!
Your lamination effect is so cool…thanks for the explanation. But my favorite is your snowmen……..so fun and perfect wintertime card!
Wow what a great technique! I really love those snowmen with the blue tones but the red and silver card is very eye catching, too!
I LOVE this idea! Definitely something I want to try, especially with this die. Super fabulous cards – love the snowman in all directions!
This is a great idea. I will have to give it a try! I love the snowman one!
Wendy, I love this!!! Thank you so much for sharing! I will totally be trying this with my laminator as the effects are awesome!
Such great cards! Love, Love, Love the snowmen. Such a variety of ways for the thin cut squares to be used from using only 3/4, a strip, or the entire cut with a section trimmed for the sentiment. Also, such a great idea shared from Jennifer to laminate embossing powder. I love the graduation card! FYI: I CASEd your idea for snowmen on my blog; of coarse gave you credit…. so fun! TFS.
That technique and your cards…LOVE THEM; all of them! 🙂 Super cute use of the products!
Love this… now I need a laminator! Wonderful job, so unique!
I have this set, and LOVE the snowman card. Is there a die set that goes with the snowmen, or you just that good at fussy cutting???
Yes, I did fussy cut the snowman.
That’s awesome! I’m jealous of your fussy cutting! â¤ï¸Ââ¤ï¸Ââ¤ï¸Ââ¤ï¸Â
Thanks, I am one of those people who find it enjoyable.
