Christmas - Right as Rain

Penny Black Snowy Woodland Christmas Card

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.
