Winter - Right as Rain

Elizabeth Craft Designs Christmas Gnomes

Hello! I hope you are having a festive December thus far. Today, I am sharing a Christmas card featuring the Elizabeth Craft Designs Gnomes die set, which I just couldn’t resist.

I die-cut the Gnomes pieces including the packages from felt, cardstock, and glitter cardstock and assembled them. (The felt is from Taylored Expressions.) You can use the Farmer die set to cut the eyes.
I heat-embossed the Bitty Holiday Wishes (now retired) sentiment in Red Geranium and cut it with a banner die.
I added the Gnomes, with packages, and sentiment to now-retired Lawn Fawn patterned paper. Initially I had planned to die-cut a snowbank, however, this paper worked well with the bright felt colors.

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.
