Flaky Tree

 This beautiful tree decorates a card front all by itself. Although there are die cuts that coordinate, they are not necessary. I love the simplicity of the card. You can easily duplicate it for your entire Christmas card list. What do you think?

Stamps:

   Winter Woods

   Snow Wonder

Paper:

   Pool Party A-2

   Whisper White 5-1/4 x 4 (2)

Ink:

   Pool Party

   Poppy Parade

   Shaded Spruce

Technique:

   Sponging

Accessories:

   Snowflakes

   Sequins

   Stamparatus or MISTI 

   Blending Brush

   Adhesive

I added Pool Party to my Whisper White panel using my blending brush. A sponge can also fulfill the task, I'm just excited about my new blending brush!

Next, I stamped my tree using Shaded Spruce. I used my Stamparatus in case I needed to stamp it more than once. I didn't! It sure is nice to be able to do that if necessary. A MISTI tool will also accomplish that task. 

Keeping my card in my Stamparatus, I stamped the sentiment using Poppy Parade. 

I added a few snowflakes and sequins. I then adhered my panel onto the Pool Party card base, and the other panel to the inside of the card.

Fun Snowflake

 Make your card interesting by creating fun folds. This card uses a gate fold. The two panels open outward from the middle, just like a double gate.

Stamps:

   Snow Wonder

Paper:

   Highland Heather 4-1/4 x 8-1/2 scored at 2-1/8 from both ends

   Snowflake Splendor DSP 1-7/8 x 4 (2)

Ink:

   Pacific Point

Technique:

   Gate Fold Card

Accessories:

   Wooden Snowflake Elements

   Foil Snowflake

   Glue Dots

   Adhesive

There is a tutorial for this fold on SplitCoast Stampers. You can find it HERE. I tweaked it just a bit.

The foil snowflake is from my stash. These have been discontinued, but I have to use what I have on hand. I added a wooden snowflake to add a bit of weight to the gate. 

I also stamped a couple of trees to the inside or the right gate. Have a look.

Of course, you can also get more elaborate and adorn the inside of the card a bit more. I like to keep things simple. What do you think?

Balmy Snowman

This card features a new stamp and die cut from our new 2020 mini catalog. I combined it with some current designer series paper and a discontinued laser-cut panel. Stampin' Up! products coordinate well together even when they are discontinued. What do you think?

   Very Vanilla 6 x 7 scored @ 3-1/2, 3-1/2 x 3

   Artistry Blooms DSP 6 x 3-1/2

   Night of Navy

Technique:

   Die Cutting

The snowman, snowflakes, and sentiment are from the Snow Wonder stamp set. I used Balmy Blue ink on the snowman and the snowflakes. The sentiment was stamped using Night of Navy.

The background is from the Artistry Blooms Designer Series Paper Pack. The Very Vanilla frame is from the Shimmer Detailed Laser-Cut DSP pack.

The snowman is adhered with dimensionals.

This card size fits a regular letter size envelope.
