Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! I used the sweet Stampin’ Up! Snowy Wonder bundle with the festive Snowy Scenes designer series paper to make a Seasons Greetings card. You can find the supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.
We have a color challenge this week and I managed to get all the colors in by die cutting the images from the Snowy Scenes DSP:
I used the large circle die from the Stylish Shapes dies to cut a circle in a Real Red panel and embossed it with the Snowflake Sky 3D embossing folder. I adhered a panel of Snowy Scenes DSP to the back of the panel. I adhered the layered panel to a holly filled Snowy Scenes DSP and adhered it to a pool party mat. I wrapped the panel twice with Real Red Baker’s twine and popped it on the front of a Real Red card base with dimensionals.
I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Snowy Wonder stamp set using Versamark ink on a Pool Party panel. I sprinkled it with white embossing powder and shook off the excess. I heated it with my heat tool until it was bright and shiny and cut it out with the long label die from the Autumn Leaves dies. I adhered it to the card with glue dots.
I used the Stampin’ Up! Snowy Wonder dies to cut a penguin, large tree and medium tree from Snowy Scenes DSP. I love how the dies can be used to cut the DSP images! I also fussy cut the little tree using paper snips. I adhered the two smaller trees to the card with glue dots and adhered the penguin and tree with dimensionals. I adhered loose white snowflakes with bits of glue dots.
For the inside of the card, I stamped the holly leaves and berries from the Stampin’ Up! Snowy Wonder stamp set using Garden Green and Poppy Parade inks on a Basic White panel. I stamped the sentiment from the From Our Home stamp set using Poppy Parade and adhered DSP to the bottom. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.
The Stampin’ Up! Snowy Wonder bundle is full of fun Winter and holiday images that make wonderful Christmas cards that are bright and cheerful.
