Check out this monochrome winter wonderland card that’s full of layers and details in a bright white!
Happy Tuesday, friends! We’re continuing our Christmas in July theme with another festive card project. Today, our designer, Dominique will show you a simple yet beautiful way to enhance your patterned paper for a holiday card that sparkles with charm. Follow along and create a white winter wonderland slimline card with us!
- Choose your paper. I choose a sheet from the Winter Train 3 1/2 x 8 1/2 slimline paper pad.
- Add shimmer and detail. Using a Wink of Stella glitter brush pen, apply glitter to:
- The trees
- The birds in the sky
- The leaves on the birch tree; and
- Some of the heaps of snow.
- Prep for heat embossing. Treat your panel with anti-static powder.
- Stamp your sentiment.
- Choose a sentiment from 35019 Reason for the Season stamp set. I will be using the “Silent Night Holy Night” stamp as I feel it really complements the design of the paper.
- Place the panel into a stamp repositioned, then align the stamp where you feel it fits best.
- Stamp using Versamark ink.
- Apply silver embossing power and heat set.
- Set your panel aside. Once cool, add some double sided tape to the back of the panel, and set aside.
- Create airy flowers.
- Die cut some poinsettias. Using vellum, die cut two sets of 5514-07D Buildable Poinsettia Die.
- Add shimmer. Using the Wink of Stella glitter brush pen, apply glitter onto the middle layer of the flower.
- Assemble your flowers.
- Accent the middle with pearl enamel dots
- Add double sided foam tape to the back of the flowers. Then adhere onto the card panel.
- Final card assembly:
- Create a 3 1/2in x 8 1/2in card base from white card stock.
- Attach your decorated panel to the card base using the tape you applied earlier.
I hope you all enjoyed today’s card. Have you ever spiced up your patterned paper with glitter or embossing? Let us know in the comments!
