Want to create a Winter Wonderland background for your card? Check out these new Stained Glass Dies that pair perfectly with glitter paper.
Today we have a sparkly project for you created by our designer, Lisa. Lisa said, “I love the new stained glass dies! They are so flexible and you can even make fun scenes with them.” We really do love how she used this die and paired it with the most beautiful glitter paper, for a final project that really dazzles. Follow along as she shows us how to make a glittery winter wonderland card.
- I cut a panel of blue glitter paper using the 5747-01D Wave-Stained Glass Die, keeping the pieces together as much as possible to make it easy to place the pieces where I wanted them.
- Then a second partial panel was cut from white glitter paper. I cut just the section I knew I’d need for the snowy scene I wanted. Of course I lost ONE piece… so rather than spending a lot of time trying to find it, I just placed a small piece over the area I needed.
- The blue panel was turned upside down and pieces were placed to create the background scene and then taped in place with some Pixie Tape. Strong enough to keep it in place but thin enough to not add any thickness or uneven spots and once it was covered, the panel was adhered to a 5 1/2 x 4 1/4″ white cardstock panel.
- Next I stamped and cut out the owl images from the 35041 Winter Birds – 4×8 Stamp Set. I decided instead of having the sled reigns show, to cut them off so the owl could be placed in front of the sled and used a white gel pen to remove the little bit of lines that showed after coloring the images.
- Pink glitter trees were cut using the 5217-01D Evergreen Tree Die. I only wanted the two smallest trees so I strategically placed my glitter paper to get the sizes I wanted and then used thin foam tape to arrange all of my pieces.
- Then I stamped a sentiment from the Winter Birds set onto white cardstock large enough so that I could cut it out using one of the larger dies from the 5704D Nested Tag Dies.
- Next I cut three snowflakes using the 5513-07D Snowflake Dies from some shiny white paper and arranged them where I wanted my sentiment piece and then popped it up over them.
We hope this Glittery Winter Wonderland Card really inspired you to add a little glitz to your cards.
