Looking for your next winter handmade card project? Check out this snowy blue creation and use negative space to your advantage.
Today’s beautiful winter card is from our designer, Julie, who is dazzling us with this awesome seasonal creation. This card is all about negative spaces and shadow layering. Add some snowflakes & chilly winter blues and you have a card for a winter birthday, or late holiday card, or just thinking of you and missing you this season. Follow along with these simple steps to recreate this fun winter snowflake card.
- To make my card, I die cut the white panel with a stitch dot rectangle then placed the inset die toward the left side. It’s a little longer than my rectangle so I only cut it partially down the side.
- I also cut a cornflower blue panel with the same die then attached it behind the white panel, a little offset. This lt blue shadow just barely shows, but it adds depth & interest.
- I added a navy blue frame behind it. I had to trim it a bit in area behind the inset so it wouldn’t show thru.
- The large snowflake was cut out of navy instead of using the snowflake, I used the negative, cut around it w/ a circle die & attached it to a circle of the designer paper.
- The designer paper circle was the same size as the navy one, so I used a slightly smaller circle to cut the outside of the dp version & made a frame out of it, & attached it on top of the navy circle.
- A larger cornflower blue circle was added behind it.
- The smaller snowflake was cut out of white glitter & added in the center.
- The greeting was die cut & I used the same die to cut 2 of the lt blue, then offset them behind the greeting to form a shadow.
