Hello! If you love the nostalgic charm of White Christmas, this handmade card might just transport you there. Created with a die set and a BetterPress sentiment from the Country Christmas Collection at Spellbinders, this elegant design features a festively decorated barn with its doors open to reveal a Christmas tree inside. The refined palette—dark red, soft gray, crisp white, gold, and deep green—adds a touch of sophistication while keeping the rustic warmth. Finished with a snowflake-patterned background, this card captures the magic of a timeless country Christmas.
-
- Cover an A2-size card base with patterned paper.
- Use a die in the Landscape Edges set to cut a snowbank from white cardstock. Trim and add to the prepared base.
- Cut the barn pieces from a variety of cardstock colors and assemble. The product page has an image with assembly instructions. Cut the trees with the same set. I added a star and Christmas ornaments to the tree inside the barn using a die in the Cocoa Wonderland set.
- Press the sentiment with Thunder ink on white cardstock. Cut with the coordinating die.
- Add barn assembly and sentiment to base with foam adhesive.
While this card celebrates the season in classic holiday style, the barn die itself is incredibly versatile. With a quick change in color scheme, you could create a springtime farm scene, a fall harvest card, or even a patriotic Fourth of July barn. The traditional design elements from the Country Christmas Collection lend themselves beautifully to a range of occasions, making this set a timeless addition to your crafting stash.
Beautifully Festive.
