Hello my Stampin’ Friends!
Not only have we turned a page in our monthly calendars, but we (at least where I live) are in full autumn mode. My heat kicked on yesterday and I had to wear sweats! Yes, while I am at home, I live in sweats all winter long.🥶🥶🥶
In this blog post, we’ll guide you through the creative process of making a winter card that’s perfect for sending warm wishes to your loved ones during the holiday season. Whether you’re an experienced cardmaker or just getting started with this delightful hobby, the Winter Meadow Suite Collection is sure to inspire you.
The base card is Shaded Spruce Cardstock, the next layer is one of the sheets from the Winter Meadow Designer Series Paper (DSP) which is part of the collection. The top layer is Vellum Cardstock that was embossed with the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder to give it a frosty look and to tone down the pattern paper.
The leaves were stamped with Shaded Spruce and then cut with the coordinating die from the collection. One of the sprigs (Shaded Spruce cardstock) was cut from the coordinating die from the collection – the other one die cut using the pattern paper. The image which has the leaves and pods (I think that’s what is called) was colored in with the Shaded Spruce and Moody Mauve Stampin’ Write Markers and then cut with the coordinating die.
The ring was created using two dies from the retired Layering Circle Dies. The sentiment was stamped with Shaded Spruce Ink and cut with the smallest rectangle from the Deckled Rectangle Dies. I used White Bakers Twine from the Baker’s Twine Essential Pack and the silver trim from the Simply Elegant Trim. The jewels are from the Winter Meadow Colleciton.
For the inside of the card, I used the pattern paper for the 1st layer and Basic White Cardstock for the top layer. The spring was stamped with Shaded Spruce and cut with the coordinating die. I used the same pattern paper for the envelope flap.
