CCMC323 White Christmas

October 2, 2014 By Connie | 10 Comments

“I’m dreaming…of a White Christmas”…well, no…definitely NOT me.  But this Stampin’ Up! set would really put you in the mood, wouldn’t it?  I must admit.  I bought this set, then stared at it for a month.  Just didn’t know what to do with it!  But, I pulled it out to see if I could get some inspiration.  Today’s Create with Connie and Mary Sketch Challenge seemed like a perfect time to use it!

CCMC323

And here is my card.  Don’t you love the diagonal panel on the front?  Gives it a touch of whimsey!  I also let the All Is Calm Designer Paper do most of the work!

 

CCMC323 White Christmas

Here are the details:

  • The base is 4 1/4 x 11 Soft Sky, folded in half.
  • Ii cut a 3 3/4 x 5 piece of Smoky Slate Printed DSP in the All Is Calm package, then tilted it slightly on the front and cut off the excess at the sides and top.
  • I also cut banners of DSP at 1 1/2 x 4 3/4 and 1/2 x 4, cut a flag end and added them to the front.
  • I stamped a single tree and cardinal from White Christmas stamp set with Black Stazon on Whisper White, then used Sahara Sand, Soft Sky and Real Red Markers to color.
  • I stamped the snow flurries image and Soft Sky ink in the sky several times.  I cut it with the Circle Framelit and then layered it on Smoky Slate cardstock.  It is popped up on the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • For some bling, I used a trio of the Frosted Sequins.
  • I stamped the greeting from White Christmas with Black Stazon in the lower right corner.

Make sure to check out the rest of the Challenge Team over on Create with Connie and Mary to see what they did with the sketch!

I love stamping cards, altering 3D items and making little favors. I've been stamping for over 20 years and will have my 19th year Stampin' Up! anniversary in early May. I love being part of something that sparks my creativity and hear people comment, "you MADE this?" I also enjoy sharing that passion with others in my classes! If you live anywhere in the Delaware, Dublin, Powell, Lewis Center, Hilliard or surrounding Columbus, Ohio areas, join us! I love to meet new stamping friends. Email me for a current class schedule... I'm adding new classes all the time!

    Your card is so soft and beautiful. I love that little itty pop of red color in an otherwise soft and serene landscape – cardinals have a way of doing that!

    Love it! Cardinals are my favorite bird…we have a little family of them that lives in my burning bush in the back. I love to watch them in the winter! Love the soft colors and then that pop of red for the cardinal.
