Winter - Right as Rain

Penny Back – Snowfall and Serenity

Hello! Today I am sharing a quick-to-make Christmas card created with Penny Black supplies from the Home for Christmas release. I chose colors to coordinate with the 50-001 Pinecones and Peace panel.

For card base, stamp 30-852 Fresh Snow sentiment in brown ink on light green cardstock.
Add 50-001 Pinecones and Peace panel to card base (trimmed), with a brown cardstock panel underneath.

Penny Black – Bring on the Snow

Hello! Today I am sharing a winter-themed card created with a new Penny Black sentiment set 30-852 Fresh Snow paired with additional die sets. I used the same design on a card here.

Heat-emboss the sentiment in silver 30-852 Fresh Snow on light blue cardstock and cut with the 51-053 A Pocket Full die. Use same die to cut vellum.

Spellbinders – Christmas Night Scene

Hello! Today I am sharing a holiday card created with the recently-released Spellbinders Holiday Medley Collection showcasing the Silent Night Make a Scene and All is Calm Word Frame die sets.

While the Silent Night Make a Scene set is designed to work with the Make a Scene set (see my cards using that set here) to create a kinetic card, I created a static scene card.

I created a base and frame for the scene with the Scallop Façade Frame set. I die-cut snow banks with the Color Block Scenic Scape set, (this die set has been my go-to for holiday cards this year), from glitter cardstock.

I die-cut the elements from the Silent Night Make a Scene set and All is Calm Word Frame from white, colored, and silver foil cardstock. The houses were backed with silver foil cardstock.

I assembled the scene and added Silver Mix Gems to the snowflake centers and the lead reindeer’s nose.

Spellbinders is offering up to 40% off on Select Stamps through Sunday, August 29th, 2021.
