Snowy Wonder, Snowy Scenes, Sophisticated Sled, Christmas Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a Christmas card to share with you. Please read on to see how it was made.

The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. It opens on the bottom and the fold is on the top.

I cut a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Poppy Parade card stock for the layer. On top of that is a 3-3/4" x 5" piece of Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the "Snowy Scenes" 12" x 12" package. I taped it to the Poppy Parade piece and then that was taped to the front of the card.

The snowman and tree are from the same package of DSP. I fussy cut the tree but the snowman was cut using the die from the "Snowy Wonder" bundle. 

I had a scrap piece of Poppy Parade, it measures 4" x 1-1/2" and I textured it using the "Snowflake Sky" embossing folder. 

The squares were both cut from Basic White card stock. They measure 2-1/2" x 2-1/2" and the other measures 2-3/4" x 2-3/4".  On the smaller piece I used my Blending Brush and scrubbed on some Pool Party ink. I also stamped some Pool Party snowflakes from the "Snowy Wonder" bundle. I used the Blending Brush on the edges of the piece to, kind of like sponging. I do prefer sponging the edges than using the brush on them.

I took the larger piece and taped the Poppy Parade strip to it, centering it as much as I could by eyeing it. It sticks out beyond the larger square about 5/8" on each side and the same from the top. Then I taped the stamped square to the top of that. So the Poppy Parade piece is sandwiched between the two squares. Dimensionals were added to the back and the piece was set in place on the center of the card.

I added a little tape to the left side of the snowman and set it on the fussy cut tree where I thought it would look the best. Then I turned it over and added Dimensionals. I set it on the top square.

The words are from the "Sophisticated Sled" and were stamped on a scrap piece of Basic White card stock using Pool Party ink. I added small Dimensions to the right side where it wouldn't be touching any card stock. Where it touches the card stock I added tape. I set the piece in place and the card was done.

This was such a fun card to make. It was also very quick and easy too! Even the little bit of fussy cutting!

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's Christmas card,
