Hello! There’s something magical about a quiet winter scene, and this Christmas card brings that feeling to life. Using all Penny Black products, I created a serene woodland setting with three stamped evergreens and two die-cut cardinals nestled in the trees. The background features a subtle snowflake pattern stamped onto woodgrain cardstock, adding texture and a hint of rustic charm. A simple winter sentiment completes the card, making it a perfect way to spread warmth and joy this holiday season.
-
- Stamp the Snowflake Pattern background in white pigment ink on woodgrain cardstock, trim to A-2 size, and add to a card base. I have never stamped onto the woodgrain cardstock before; it is something I will definitely do again.
- Stamp the All Things Evergreen trees with Oxide inks on Sea Glass cardstock.
- Cut white cardstock with the largest Classy Frames die.
- Stamp the When Snow Falls sentiment in black ink above the trees. Trim the panel to fit within the Classy Frames die.
- Cut the snowbank from white cardstock with a die in the Border Collection set. Trim the snowbank as necessary and adhere to the tree panel.
- Add the frame to the scene and adhere the assembly to the card base.
- Embellish with birds cut from red cardstock with dies in the Winter Trees set (now retired) and snowflakes cut from white cardstock with a die in the Around Town set.
Blending both old and new Penny Black products, I’ve crafted a fresh and timeless Christmas card that captures the peaceful beauty of winter.
Gorgeous outdoor scene in that yummy frame, Jean! Perfect atop the woodgrain paper!!
The wood grain background really is perfect for this beautiful scene. I love the little cardinals!
Great idea for the woodgrain cardstock. Embossing is another idea too! I love cardinals, just a subtle holiday message. Great card!
