I made this card forthe Ways to Use it Challenge at SCS today. The challenge was to use spirals in your work — I chose to use the spiral punch. I just love that punch for making journal covers, but have only used it a few times on cards. I was going for the film strip look as was shown on several samples; however, in this card I feel my film strip ideakind of gotlost in the sparkles, cording, ribbon, etc. I do like the snowflakes and the sparkles, and I like the filmstrip idea, just not necessarily together! But the card will do and I will use it. I do want to use this film strip idea on another project — maybe I’ll get it right the 2nd time — LOL!!!

1. Filmstrip panel: Black is 2 1/4″ x 5″, spiral punched along both sides. The square punches would work great for the pictures on the film strip, but I don’t have them, so I just cut the panels to fit, approx. 1 3/8 x 1 1/2″. Snowflakes stamped in Bashful Blue, edges sponged, snowflakesoutlined with Sakura Quickie Glue Pen (has a real fine, pen-like tip) and sprinkled with Dazzling Diamonds. Then all those spiral punched holes were just begging to have something run though them, so I used the new Silver Elastic Cord — what great stuff! It looks wonderful and is so easy to use. It bends, drapes, hangs just where it should, so flexible and manageable!!! A HUGE improvement over the silver cording it replaced!
2. White panel: 5 1/4 x4″. Snowflakes stamped in Bashful Blue, edges sponged, went over the entiresurface with Versa Mark (DTP), then embossed with Iridescent Ice EP. Love that look!!!
3. Winter panel: 1 1/8 x 2 3/4″. Top corners clipped with Tag Corner Punch. Winter stamped with Black Stazon, embossed with IIEP as above. Attached to Film Strip Panel with brad (from Michaels), sneaking a bow between the brad and tag. Entire film strip panel attached to card with foam mounting tape (Wal-Mart).

That’s it for this one! Thanks so much for looking!!! And if you haven’t entered the Blog Candy contest below, please do so!!!
