For my first stamping class this year, I wanted to make some wintery-looking cards. I chose the collection of products, Winter Meadow. I used Smokey Slate gray for the cardstock and added some shimmery papers from the Snowflake Magic specialty papers. They have such a beautiful shine to them.
The stamp set Magical Meadow is the focal point to the card. I stamped the berry image a few times in Pacific Point and then cut them out and added them to the branch image. The cut outs for this set are amazing, definitely a staple in paper crafting. I cut them out of shiny silver paper and the whole card has a snowy, glittery winter look to it, just what I was hoping for.
The idea for this card is from Sharon Hensen.
Card #2 has Misty Moonlight for the base. I mounted a piece of the designer papers to a white cardstock for the front of the card. The circle is white heat embossed and I added some white and silver sprigs.
In this photo you can see that it is somewhat of a fancy fold. I got the idea for the fold from Susie Wood.
My third card is made from thick white cardstock and has a couple of layers added to it using dimensionals to give it a lift. I scribbled onto the white cardstock for the background using Stamping blends markers and then added the sprigs. Before I put on the saying, I made a loose bow from silver twine and adhered that on the card with a couple of glue dots.
The saying, Winter Wishes, goes along well with the theme.
Do they give off a wintery feel? I could make them all snowy day long. :)
