Winter Wishes

I finally received my Spellbinders Small Die of the Month November 2020 die cut set and could not wait to use it to create some winter cards. I also recently purchased the Sizzix 3-D Jeweled Snowflakes embossing folder and wanted to pair this with the die set. 

To begin, I cut a card panel out of white cardstock. I inked the smooth side of the embossing folder with Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Ink. I lightly sprayed the embossing folder and the paper with a small amount of water and ran it through my Big Shot machine. Next, I cut two hillsides using the Lawn Fawn Stitched Hillside Border die set. Using a blending brush, I inked the top edges of the hillsides with Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Ink. I adhered the hillsides to the bottom of the card panel, popping up the top hillside with foam tape. I splattered the entire card panel and snowbanks with a mixture of Perfect Pearls and water.  

The tree limbs were cut from a piece of white cardstock that I brayered with Shabby Shutters and Peeled Paint Distress Oxide Inks.  I cut the tree trunk from light brown cardstock and glued the tree limbs to the tree trunk. A small strip of foam tape was placed behind the tree trunk and adhered behind one of the stitched hillsides. I assembled the snowman and added a few striped details to its scarf and gloves using a gray fine felt tip marker. I stamped the sentiment “Winter Wishes” with VersaMark ink and embossed it with silver embossing powder. I mounted the sentiment on light pink cardstock and glued it to the card panel. The card panel was adhered to a white card base.

The second card was made in a similar manner except I inked the 3-D embossing folder with Spun Sugar Distress Oxide Ink to emboss the white background panel. I inked the edge of the hillside border with Hickory Smoke Distress Oxide Ink and brushed Wink of Stella over the edge of the hillside and on the snowflakes of the background panel.  The snowman was assembled and glued to the bottom of the hillside. I punched out several small snowflakes out of silver foil cardstock and scattered them around the scene.  I added a small rhinestone to the center of each snowflake.
