Golden Pine

I created a shadow effect, using Basic Black cardstock, but you can barely see it. What do you think? 

Stamps:

   Peaceful Season

Paper:

   Cherry Cobbler A-2

   Basic Black 5-3/8 x 4-1/8, 2 x 3-3/4 

   Season of Elegance DSP 5-1/4 x 4

   Gold Foil 2 x 3-3/4

   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (2), 1-5/8" Sq. 

Ink:

   Tuxedo Black Memento

Technique:

   Die Cutting

   Shadow Effect

Accessories:

   Peaceful Evergreens Dies

   Peaceful Season Dies

   Gold Textured Adhesive-Backed Dots

   Cherry Cobbler & Gold Satin Ribbon - 6"

   Glue Dots

   Dimensionals

   Adhesive

First, I die cut the small circles on the top part of the Season of Elegance DSP panel.

I then adhered the panel onto a Basic White panel, making the circles appear like snowfall.

Next, I adhered this panel onto a Basic Black matte and then onto the Cherry Cobbler card front.

I then die cut three trees from the Peaceful Evergreens dies: two in Basic Black and one in Gold Foil.

I then adhered the two Basic Black trees together. This is the shadow of the tree. 

Next, I adhered the gold foil tree on top and slightly off to the right of the Basic Black trees. I then adhered these onto the left side of the card front. I used gold foil to keep it in step with the gold elegance of the DSP, but you can make it stand out more if you use a green color.

I then stamped and die cut the sentiment, using the Peaceful Season dies.

Next, I added a bit of Cherry Cobbler & Gold Satin ribbon to the back of the sentiment, using a few glue dots. I then attached it to the card front with dimensionals.

Lastly, I added a few Gold Textured Adhesive-Backed dots to the card front and adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

Winter Snow

Although I made this card to add to my Christmas box, it can be sent for any occasion. I like having several cards that can be sent for whatever purpose arises. Thoughts? 

Stamps:

   Peaceful Evergreens

Paper:

   Early Espresso A-2, 1/8 x 4 (2)

   Crumb Cake 5-1/4 x 4

   Very Vanilla 3-1/4 x 4, 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside)

   Season of Elegance DSP 3/4 x 4 (2)

   Mossy Meadow 1-1/2 x 3-1/4 (3)

Ink:

   Old Olive

Technique:

   Stamp-Off

   Tearing

   Die Cutting

Accessories:

   Peaceful Evergreens Dies

   Gold Textured Adhesive-Backed Dots

   Snowfall Accents Puff Paint

   Fine Tip Glue Pen

   Adhesive

First, I stamped the Very Vanilla panel with trees. I stamped one in the center and then again behind it without re-inking. (Stamp-Off) This gave me two shades of Old Olive. I repeated this step on the left side and right side of the panel. Since there are more lighter tones of Old Olive, I did stamp-off on my scratch paper to fill the background. 

I then tore a tiny bit off one end of each Season of Elegance DSP strip. I tore the paper toward me to get that bit of white on the edge. 

Next, I adhered each of these DSP strips to the Crumb Cake panel: one on the top and one on the bottom with the torn edge toward the center of the card. The strips are flush with the outer edges of the Crumb Cake panel.

I then adhered the stamped Very Vanilla panel in the center of these strips of DSP.

Next, I took two of my leftover 1/8" strips of Early Espresso and adhered one on the top edge of the Very Vanilla panel and one on the bottom edge.

I then die cut three trees, using the matching die from the Peaceful Evergreens dies and Mossy Meadow card stock.

Using my Fine Tip Glue Pen, I adhered these trees onto the three dominate trees on the card.

Next, I adhered this panel onto an Early Espresso card front. 

I then randomly added a few snowballs, using my Snowfall Accents Puff Paint and let it dry over night. Unfortunately, these dried clear, so I added some Gold Textured Adhesive-Backed Dots instead. Let me add that the puff paint dried clear because I forgot to heat set it. Duh...my brain skipped a few steps.

Lastly, I adhered a Very Vanilla panel to the inside of the card.
