Winter - Right as Rain

Penny Black Hello Winter

Hello! Today I am sharing a winter-themed card created with Penny Black supplies. Now is when I shift from making Christmas cards to winter-themed cards for the time of year between Christmas and Valentine’s Day. (I have noticed that every year this is a struggle; I enjoy making Christmas cards as I easily connect to the colors and themes.)

I die-cut the card frame with the 51-718 Slimline Medley die from light-gray cardstock.
I die-cut the snow strip from white cardstock with a die in the 51-717 Border Collection set.
I heat-embossed the 30-881 When Snow Falls sentiment on purple cardstock.
I die-cut the polar bears (from Stampin’ Up flock) and penguins with the 51-668 Festive Family die set.
I die-cut the snowflakes with the 51-708 Dancing Snowflakes, 51-268 A Blizzard, and 51-080 Around Town sets from Sugar Coated cardstock.

Penny Black Winter Window

Hello! I am sharing a holiday card that features the 51-724 Viewpoint window die combined with other Penny Black supplies. This unique die set cuts the window frame and the dimensional pieces for each pane. I particularly enjoy creating window cards.

I die-cut the window from white and gray cardstock with the 51-724 Viewpoint die, taping the dimensional pieces on the back to the white window frame.
I die-cut the Santa with the 51-560 Here Comes… set from black cardstock.
I die-cut the boughs from Sugar Coated cardstock with a die in the 51-659 Beautified Baubles set. (I added berries to the boughs, which I cut with a circle die.)
I created the lanterns with the 51-275 Winter Lantern set for embellishment.
I heat-embossed 30-257 Joy Filled in Red powder for the sentiment.
For the background, I stamped the 40-706 Snowflake Pattern on to cardstock colored with Mermaid Lagoon and Chipped Sapphire inks.

Spellbinders Sending Warm Holiday Wishes

Hello and Happy Wednesday! (To those who celebrate Thanksgiving – I hope you have a wonderful holiday!) I am sharing a mini-slimline, winter-themed card created with Spellbinders dies, embossing folder, and stamp set.

I created the card base with the Striped Slimline Embossing Folder.
I die-cut the snow with the Color Block Scenic Scape die set from Sugar Coated cardstock.
I cut the polar bear from Snowdrift and other cardstock colors using the Chill Bear set.
I used Sending You to create the sentiment (this set was the October 2021 Clear Stamp of the Month).
I embellished with trees and snowflakes (cut from the Sugar Coated cardstock).

There is still time to shop the Pre-Black Friday sale.

Rubbernecker Frosty Fun – Die-cut Snowmen

Hello! After a massive wind and rainstorm, the temps have dropped here in the Pacific Northwest. Today I am sharing a winter-themed card created with Rubbernecker supplies (many of the products can now be found at Brass and Bliss). The card could be sent at Christmas, for a winter birthday, or to catch up with a friend.

I die-cut the Winter Snowmen from a variety of cardstock colors including cardstock to which I had applied Clear Rock Candy Glitter.
I stamped the Snowmen with Presents sentiment on a cardstock panel and trimmed it to fit behind the Deckle Frame.
I die-cut the Pine Tree Forest from white cardstock, trimmed it to fit behind the frame, and adhered the glitter with glue.
I added the frame and background assembly to white canvas cardstock.
The snowmen were added to the scene with foam adhesive.

Tim Holtz Bold Tidings Mini

Hello! Today, I am sharing a CAS Christmas card created with Tim Holtz supplies that combines my favorite techniques: stenciling, die-cutting, and heat-embossing.

I applied white embossing paste through the Flurries stencil on an A2 teal card base.
I heat-embossed the Bold Tidings Mini sentiment with Wow silver glitter powder on white cardstock. I trimmed the sentiment and backed it with a silver cardstock mat.
I die-cut the Tree Line from white cardstock to which I had applied double-sided sheet adhesive. I added Clear Rock Candy glitter to the exposed trees. I like using Clear Rock Candy glitter as it does not have an undertone (some premade glitter sheets are blueish, yellowish, or pinkish).
Once the background was dry, I added the trees and the sentiment panel with foam adhesive.
