Scenic Snowy Wonder

 I love this cute bundle!  It has SO MANY possibilities! I spotted this one with the cute Alpine scenery, and knew I had to give it a try!  There ARE a few pieces involved, but there are dies and/or stamps for all, that once cut out, goes together pretty quickly!  The background DSP is from the coordinating Snowy Scenes DSP! There are some awesome patterns in this pack!!  Also, don't forget to check out our Scrapbook Workshop Kit for this bundle in our digital scrapbook store! And, since the cut "circle" is really the round "snow globe" die, this could easily be made into a shaker card!!



Measurements:  

  • Pool Party: 1/2 sheet
  • Basic White: 2 pcs @ 4" x 5 1/4", 3/4" x 2" (label), scraps
  • Snow Scenes DSP (N): 3 1/2" square, 1/2" x 5 1/4" (snowflake print)
  • Berry Burst, Old Olive, White Glimmer Paper (OE): scraps
  • Garden Green: scraps
To Make This Card
  • Die cut round "snow globe" from front of White layer. Then, run the piece through the Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing folder.
  • Then, adhere the DSP piece to the back of the opening, leaving a little space at the bottom to tuck in pieces. Then, attach to folded Pool Party card.
  • On a small piece of White, stamp 1 sm and 2 lg "mountains" in Coastal Cabana ink, 1 small and 2 larger "trees" in Garden Green ink, and one cabin in Pecan Pie ink.  Die cut with corresponding dies. set aside.
  • Die cut 2 small trees from Garden Green cardsock.
  • Then, lastly, cut 3 "snowflakes" from White glimmer paper.
  • So, here's how I assembled the scene: Tuck one, lg "mountain" behind the circle and add the smaller one a little lower, and on top of this one. It may also need to be tucked behind, too.
  • Then, I added the "cabin" and popped it up on Dimensionals. I finished the right side of the "scene", by adding one die cut tree to the right of the "cabin" and a little behind and popped up the smallest tree with Dimensionals, and added as shown.
  • For the other side, I tucked the other "mountain" behind the "cabin".  I did have to trim the corner, so it cleared the Dimensional behind the "cabin".
  • Now, add the 2 "trees" as shown, and finish with the last die cut tree.
  • Stamp the sentiment in Coastal Cabana onto label piece, and attach, as shown.
  • Then, add the glimmer snowflakes on Mini Dimensionals as shown. 
  • Finish the inside with the other White layer, and strip of DSP.

Soft Peaceful Evergreens

 I just love these evergreen trees! They were a last minute add to my collection this winter, as I could see many uses into the New Year!! So, some nice versatility! The DSP papers I used were from the Winter Meadow DSP, which is so soft and gorgeous. I'm so glad that they kept it for another year. And if you look closely, you will see the background layer is embossed with the new Painted Trees embossing folder!


Measurements:  

  • Pretty Peacock: 1/2 sheet, 3" x 4"
  • Lost Lagoon: 4 1/8" x 5 3/8"
  • Basic White: 2 pcs @ 4" x 5 1/4" 
  • Winter Meadow DSP: 1 3/4" x 5 1/4", 1/2" x 5 1/4" (Pretty Peacock watercolor), 2 3/4" x 3 3/4" (Lost Lagoon watercolor)
To Make This Card
  • Attach Lost Lagoon piece to folded Pretty Peacock card base.
  • Adhere Peacock DSP piece to left side of one White layer.  Emboss this with the new Painted Forest 3D Embossing Folder. Set aside.
  • Now, take the Lost Lagoon DSP piece and randomly stamp the 3 Evergreen trees directly onto the DSP with Pretty Peacock ink.  I started with the largest tree, stamped off and stamped one more time,  I, then, repeated with the 2 smaller trees as well. This creates a gorgeous focal point! 
  • Stamp sentiment of your choice in Pretty Peacock ink, and attach this to the Pretty Peacock layer.
  • Next, adhere this layer to card front with Dimensionals.
  • Now take 18" of Silver & White Sheer Ribbon, thread it under the layer on the card front, and wrap it around the embossed, white layer, and tie in a bow. Now, you can adhere the White layer to the card front.
  • Finish inside with other White layer, and strip of DSP.
  • Finish the front with scattered Iridescent Faceted Gems.
