Winter Woods White Pine Cards

There's something magical about snow glistening on a pine tree and I love how these Winter Woods Class cards showcase that wonderful wintery moment! We'll be making all four of these cards in my Winter Woods Class-To-Go kit!

Background Basics—I started by stamping the Winter Woods birch trees image in Pool Party ink across a 4" x 3" piece of Whisper White. It's layered onto a 4-1/4" x 3-1/4" piece of Silver Foil, then tied with some Silver Baker's Twine. I popped up all of the layers onto a Pool Party card base.

Sweet Sentiment—I stamped the Winter Woods greeting in Night of Navy ink onto the right side of a 4-3/4" x 1-1/2" piece of Vellum Cardstock. It's adhered to the background layer with SNAIL only applied where I knew the pine would cover it. The right side of the vellum is floating free.

Pretty Pine—I die-cut a large Whisper White pine tree shape with the In The Woods Framelits for the base, then I die-cut the smaller pine for the second layer. That top layer has some cool detailed cuts that allowed me to lift the branches up to add more texture & interest. I finished by adding some Dazzling Diamonds glitter to the branches using the Fine-Tip Glue Pen. Oooh, so sparkly! I also added a single Rhinestone Jewel for balance.

TIP: When adhering the two pine layers together, only add adhesive between the lifted branches, so that the branches don't get flattened and stuck down.

Two Cool—The second card has a Bermuda Bay card base and most everything else is the same.

Textured Foil—I ran the Silver Foil layer through the Big Shot with the Subtle embossing folder for a cool texture that really catches the light! You can really see the pretty glitter on this photo, too!

Three Cool—I tried the same combination on a Night of Navy card base for the third card.

Four Cool—The final card may be my favorite with an all-white look using a Whisper White Thick cardstock. Swoon!

Winter Woods Pine In Sparkly Snow Cards

The beautiful Winter Woods tree elements combine with sparkling glitter to create some stunning holiday cards! The Winter Woods Class-To-Go kit includes supplies to create 4 each of this card style. These cards look amazing in person, so I wanted to share some up-close photos to give you an idea of their elegance!

Background Basics—This card begins by embossing a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Whisper White cardstock with the Softly Falling Texture Impressions Folder. It's adhered to a Night of Navy card base with SNAIL adhesive.

Sweet Sentiment—I stamped the Winter Woods sentiment in Night of Navy ink on the bottom right of a 4" x 2-1/4" piece of Whisper White. I used the In The Woods edgelit to achieve that soft slope. TIP: Use a piece of washi tape or a sticky note to hold the edgelit in place when you run it through the Big Shot.

I adhered the snowbank sentiment with Tear & Tape for a secure hold on the embossed paper. I wanted to be able to tuck the trees behind the snow later, so I only adhered along the bottom and sides of the element, like I was making a little pocket.

Pretty Pine—I stamped the Winter Woods pine tree in Mossy Meadow ink onto Whisper White, then die-cut the image with the coordinating In The Woods Framelit. I added some scribbles and dots of glue from the Fine-Tip Glue Pen all over the tree and sprinkled on some Dazzling Diamonds Glitter for beautiful sparkle! It's popped up with Dimensionals.

Beautiful Branches—I die-cut two little trees from the Sparkle Glimmer Paper. There are actually two of these dies in the In The Woods Framelits set, so you can make both trees in one pass through the Big Shot. I adhered the trees with the Fine-Tip Glue Pen, tucking the trunks behind the snow bank. TIP: I used the Precision Base Plate to help with these intricate cuts.

Finishing Touches—I colored a few Rhinestone Jewels with the Old Olive Dark Stampin' Blends Marker and floated them around the tree. I love that little touch of sparkly color.

Two Cool—For the second version, I created the same card and added it to a Thick Whisper White card base instead. Oooh, I love that white-on-white look for this snowy scene!

Snow Is Glistening Joy Wash Card

This stunning card looks even more amazing in person with the Shimmery White cardstock. I love the large snowflake in the flocked White Velveteen Paper for an unexpected texture.

Step-By-Step Instructions:

Squeeze the closed Blackberry Bliss ink pad to get some ink on the lid. Open the pad and use the Aqua Painter to squeeze some water onto the ink. Pick up the ink and “wash” it across the 3-1/2” x 4-3/4” Shimmery White cardstock. Start light. You can always go back and add more color.
Once the Shimmery White cardstock is dry, adhere it to the 3-3/4” x 5” Blackberry Bliss layer and then mount onto a Thick Whisper White card base.
Die-cut a large Whisper White Velveteen snowflake and a small Blackberry Bliss snowflake with the Snowfall Thinlits. Attach the snowflakes using Mini Glue Dots.
Add a Rhinestone Jewel to the center of the snowflakes.
Stamp the Snow Is Glistening sentiment in Blackberry Bliss ink.

Alpine Snowfall Season's Greetings Card

The large Snowfall snowflake makes a lovely backdrop for other winter elements, as well! Layer it behind a Spirited Snowman, a Snow Is Glistening Christmas tree, a First Frost winter bouquet or any number of holiday sentiments! I love it here behind the Alpine Sports sled die-cut! Perfect! This card also uses Adhesive Back Sequins, which is this month's Host Code Thank You Gift!

Step-By-Step Instructions:

Emboss the 4” x 5 ¼” Crumb Cake layer with the Softly Falling Embossing Folder.
Die-cut the large snowflake from the Snowfall Thinlits Dies with using Vellum Cardstock. Then attach it to the embossed layer with a couple of Glue Dots in the center.
Die-cut the sled from the Alpine Sports Thinlits Dies using Real Red Cardstock. Attach over the top of the snowflake using a couple of Glue Dots.
Stamp your sentiment in Bermuda Bay ink on a 4” x ¾” piece of Bermuda Bay cardstock. Attach to the front of the sled using Glue Dots. SNAIL adhesive does not stay down but Glue Dots did the trick!
Attach the 4” x ¼” Joyous Noel Glimmer Paper strip to the top edge of the Bermuda Bay cardstock with Multipurpose Liquid Glue. You must hold it for a few seconds, but it will stay!
Tie a 15” piece of Very Vanilla Baker’s Twine around the Crumb Cake layer and tie a bow. Then, attach the whole layer to your Crumb Cake card front with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
Lastly, add a few white Adhesive Backed Sequins to your card front.

Beautiful Blizzard Unique Snowflake Cards

For this set of four cards from the Beautiful Blizzard class kit, I chose the deep, rich colors of Night of Navy and Blackberry Bliss and paired them with the warmer, neutral Crumb Cake. It takes on more of a vintage look with just a touch of silver sparkle.

Background Basics—I started with a 2" x 5-1/2" piece of Crumb Cake cardstock that has been embossed with the Cable Knit Dynamic Texture Impressions Folder. I adhered it to the Night of Navy card base with Tear & Tape Adhesive.

Snowy Sentiment—I stamped the Beautiful Blizzard sentiment in Blackberry Bliss onto the lower right of a 3" x 4-1/4" piece of Whisper White cardstock. I inked up the small splotch image with Crumb Cake, stamped off one time, then stamped over the top of the greeting. I stamped the swirly image in Crumb Cake, too. I finished up be stamping the multi-snowflake image several times to create a pretty Night of Navy border across the top. The layer is adhered to a 3-1/8" x 4-3/8" Blackberry Bliss panel.

Finishing Touches—I wrapped some Whisper White/Silver Metallic-Edge Ribbon around the stamped layer, tying it into a double knot for a faux-bow, then popped up the layer with Dimensionals. Finally, I die-cut a Sparkle Glimmer Paper snowflake with the Blizzard Thinlits die, attached it to the card front with a Glue Dot, then topped it with a Rhinestone Jewel.

Don't forget, you'll receive a full spool of the Metallic-Edge Ribbon and a half pack of Rhinestone Jewels in your Class-To-Go kit!

Two Cool—The second Night of Navy card has a horizontal design with a Swirls & Curls embossed background.

Amazing Accents—This time, I stamped the sentiment in Night of Navy and added Blackberry Bliss snowflakes on either side. The bow was tied below the sentiment and two sparkly snowflakes were added on either side.

Three Cool—The third card features a horizontal Blackberry Bliss card base with the Crumb Cake layer once again in Cable Knit embossing. I also tied the ribbon around the full card. You can do this on every card, since you'll have extra ribbon in the kit!

Amazing Accents—I stamped the Night of Navy snowflakes across the top and bottom of the focal point image on this one.

Four Cool—The final card of this set is Blackberry Bliss with a Swirls & Curls embossed background panel adhered down the center. I stamped the snowflakes down the side of the focal point. I love playing with the elements of a card, changing the colors and positioning to see several different looks! So fun!

Beautiful Blizzard Countdown To Christmas Class

Hi Stamping Friends!

I enjoyed a much-needed long weekend over the past few days and I'm back with the third class from my Countdown To Christmas holiday class series! This class is a favorite of mine because of the pretty snowflakes and the "Too Cool" color combinations! I hope you love it as much as I do!

Today, I'll be sharing one of the 3 card designs up close!

Beautiful Blizzard Season's Greetings Snowfall Cards

The watercolor-esque wash images in the Beautiful Blizzard stamp set provide a gorgeous background for the Sparkle Glimmer snowflakes on these Countdown To Christmas cards. I especially adore the color combination...a lighter version of my "Too Cool" colors in purples and teals! Let's take a closer look at what you'll be making with this kit!

Background Basics—I started by stamping the large wash image from the Beautiful Blizzard stamp set in Pool Party ink diagonally across a 4-7/8" x 3-5/8" piece of Whisper White cardstock. Next, I inked the smaller splotch image in Highland Heather, stamped off once and stamped onto the background. I added about three of these splotches of color, slightly overlapping the Pool Party images.

Finally, I stamped the mini snowflakes image in Balmy Blue several times along the same diagonal swath. The layer is adhered to a 5" x 3-3/4" Basic Black cardstock, then mounted onto a Highland Heather card base.

Sweet Sentiment—I added a 4-4/8" x 3/4" strip of Balmy Blue across the lower half of the background to create a base for the greeting. Next, I stamped the sentiment in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto a 3-1/4" x 1/2" strip of Whisper White. I fishtail cut one end of the strip, then popped it up with Dimensionals, flush to the right edge.

Snowflakes Accents—I finished by die-cutting some Sparkle Glimmer snowflakes using the Blizzard Thinlits die and topping them with Rhinestone Jewels! Oooh, this thinlits die is special!

I love that the Blizzard Thinlit is just one die! With just one die, you get 18 snowflakes in a variety of sizes! All of the cards in this class kit feature snowflakes from this cool die! It also makes a lovely background after the die-cuts are removed. And, when you pair it with Embossing Mats, you can create a beautiful snowflake texture...but, we'll save that for another card!

TIP: When die-cutting with thinlits, I recommend using the Precision Base Plate for clean cuts and easier release of the die-cuts.

Two Cool—I always like to mix it up, so all of the cards in this design have different color card bases. This one features a Balmy Blue card base with a Highland Heather strip across the middle. Otherwise, the stamped elements are the same.

Three Cool—The third card features a Bermuda Bay card base and Highland Heather strip. I replaced the stamped snowflakes with a dotted image in Balmy Blue ink.

Four Cool—The final card has a Pool Party base and a Balmy Blue strip, also with stamped dots in Balmy Blue.

Dashing Deer Mini Merry Deer Card

I love the small focal point and minimal stamping on this elegant card style. It's soft Very Vanilla color with the embossed Swirls & Curls texture and a touch of beautiful Very Vanilla Lace Trim gives it a vintage snowy look!

Background Basics—This card begins with a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Very Vanilla cardstock embossed with the Swirls & Curls Texture Impressions Folder. I tied some of the Very Vanilla Lace Trim around the layer before mounting onto a Very Vanilla Thick cardstock card base with Tear & Tape and SNAIL adhesive.

TIP: Spritz the cardstock lightly with water before running it through the Big Shot with the embossing folder for crisper and deeper texture impressions with less tearing of the fibers. Good news! The class kit comes with a Stampin' Spritzer to help you with this!

Sweet Sentiment—The Dashing Deer sentiment was stamped in Early Espresso ink onto a 2-1/4" x 2-1/4" piece of Very Vanilla cardstock. It was mounted onto a Layering Squares scallop square die-cut from Gold Foil, then popped up with Dimensionals.

Dashing Deer—The mini deer image from the Dashing Deer set was stamped in Early Espresso into scrap Very Vanilla cardstock, die-cut with the matching Detailed Deer Thinlits die and popped up with Dimensionals. I finished up by adding a few gold Metallic Pearl accents.

Bundle It & SAVE—Purchase the Dashing Deer stamp set and Detailed Deer Thinlits together in a bundle to save 10%!

Two Cool—For card #2, I moved the square focal point to the bottom of the card. Everything else is the same.

Three Cool—This time, the base of my focal point was die-cut with the Layering Circles Framelits. And, instead of a thank you greeting, I stamped the greeting on scrap Very Vanilla then trimmed out just the word "merry" and popped it up.

Four Cool—The final card from this stack moves the circle focal point back up to the top of the card.

These pretty cards will stamp & assemble in just minutes, because I have everything except the stamping done for you!

Elegant Copper Dashing Deer Cards

It just occurred to me that "dashing" describes this card in two ways: it's both dashing in its elegance and the deer is dashing across the card! Either way, you're going to love the gorgeous accents on this Dashing Deer Class-To-Go Kit card! We'll be creating 4 each of this design. It's quick & easy to assemble, focusing on the Detailed Deer Thinlits with only a touch of stamping.

Background Basics—I began by adding a 2" x 5-1/2" piece of Cherry Cobbler cardstock along the left side of a Thick Whisper White card base.

Next, I embossed a 3-3/4" x 4" piece of Whisper White cardstock with the Swirls & Curls Texture Impressions Folder. I love how the pattern looks like a swirling blizzard of snow! I added 3-3/4" x 3/4" strips of copper colored Joyous Noel Glimmer Paper to the top and the bottom edges of the embossed piece, using Tear & Tape for a secure hold. I mounted the layer with more Tear & Tape to the card base.

Copper Deer—I die-cut the deer from Copper Foil Sheets with the Detailed Deer Thinlits. Because of the intricate die shape and since I was using foil, I recommend cutting it with the help of the Precision Base Plate. It truly makes all the difference in the world! If you have any trouble getting the die-cut out of the die, you can add a piece of wax paper between the foil and the die to help it release. Using a Precision Base Plate will also help eliminate, or at least reduce, the little bumps and indentations you might get from the die holes. You can see how awesome it works on my Smooth Foil Die-Cuts Tips Video.

I popped the copper deer up with Mini Dimensionals (which happen to be on sale during the World Card Making Day promotion!)

Finishing Touches—I adorned the deer with a little Cherry Cobbler flower embellishment, also die-cut with the Detailed Deer Thinlits. It's topped with a Pearl Jewel.

Bundle It & SAVE—Purchase the Dashing Deer stamp set and the Detailed Deer Thinlits together in a bundle to save 10%.

Sentiment Layer—I stamped the Dashing Deer sentiment in Cherry Cobbler ink onto a 2-1/2" x 3/4" piece of Whisper White, then fishtailed the end and popped up with Dimensionals (also on sale)!

Two Cool—My second card uses the same basic elements on a horizontal layout.

Three Cool—I moved the sentiment above the deer on my third card.

Four Cool—For the last version, I went back to the vertical card and tried the de-bossed side of the Swirls & Curls pattern.

Optional—The kit comes with Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint and a Stampin' Spritzer, so you could add some glimmer to the background.
