Winter Adventures Creative Celebrations Squirrel Winter Wishes Card

Greetings! 

Today's card features a scene from the Creative Celebrations Designer Series Papers (DSP). This paper features Christmas- and winter-themed designs in a cheerful pastel palette of periwinkle blue, sage green, pastel pink, and bright red. The four sheets of precut designs make it easy to add quick accents and layered details, and the cut-apart pages give you gift tags and focal pieces for cards, scrapbooks, and paper crafts. 

Find a scene you like, mat it, put it on a base panel, add a sentiment and you have a card ready to go with very little fuss.  

The die cut tree and snowflakes from the Winter Adventures dies pair beautifully with scene. The little squirrel on this panel is perfect with the mittens and scarf, and what better message than Warm Winter Wishes for it!  So cute!

Techniques include die cutting and heat embossing for the sentiment.

==============================================================================

Beverly's Tip of the Day

Detailed die cuts like these snowflakes and tree are so easy to assemble when adhesive sheets are attached.  Without the adhesive sheets the little fingers on the snowflakes could easily get bent or torn off.  The adhesive sheets come in 6 x 12 size, with score lines at 2 and 4 inches lengthwise.  

I prefer to cut the adhesive sheet 1/8" - 1/4" smaller in both directions from the cardstock I'm attaching it to.  This eliminates adhesive on the edges that can transfer to the cutting plates when die cutting.  

======================================================================

Gather Your Supplies:

Christmas Crew Snowman Cheer Card

Greetings! 

Today's card features the adorable snowman from the Christmas Crew bundle sending cheer amidst a wintry forest print from the Whispering Woods Designer Series Paper (DSP).  This pack of paper has gorgeous soft prints in hues of greens and blues and...for every pack of paper purchased, $3 is donated to organizations to help spread a little holiday cheer.  


Techniques include coloring with Stampin' Blends and Wink of Stella, and die cutting.

==============================================================================

Beverly's Tip of the Day

Coloring with the Wink of Stella® Clear Glitter brush is a great way to bring your projects some subtle sparkle.  For the snowman on this card, it was the perfect way to add shading without adding color.  I simply brushed the Wink of Stella along the edges where the little detail marks are.  To carry the sparkle a step further, I also added the Wink of Stella along the hilly edges of the snow and a few added sweeps of the glitter brush to suggest dimension in the snow area of the DSP print.

======================================================================

Gather Your Supplies:

  • Christmas Crew bundle (Save 10% when you purchase stamp set & die with bundle item#)
  • Cloud Cover cardstock 
    • card base  5-1/2 x 8-1/2 scored & folded at 4-1/4, OR 11 x 4-1/4, scored and folded at 5-1/2 if you prefer the fold at the side instead of the top.
  • Basic White cardstock
    • 3 x 2-1/2 for snowman die cut
  • Whispering Woods Designer Series Paper (DSP)
    • 5-1/4 x 4 row of trees on snow print
  • Gray Granite Classic Stampin' Pad
  • Lost Lagoon Classic Stampin' Pad
  • Hydrangea Hue Classic Stampin' Pad
  • Poppy Parade Stampin' Blends Combo Pack
  • Cherry Cobbler Stampin' Blends Combo Pack
  • Pecan Pie Stampin' Blends Combo Pack
  • Smoky Slate Stampin' Blends Combo Pack
  • Pumpkin Pie Stampin' Blends Combo Pack
  • Wink of Stella® Clear Glitter Brush
  • Stampin' Dimensionals
  • Paper Trimmer
  • Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine
=============================================================
Here's How It's Made:

Ink scattered dots stamp with Hydrangea Hue, stamp off twice, then stamp onto top of DSP panel.  Repeat multiple times to create look of snow along upper part of DSP.  Use Wink of Stella to create sparkling edges on snow portion of DSP.  Adhere DSP panel to folded card front.
