Today’s card features the Wintery Tree Tops Bundle and the Nests of Winter Designer Series Paper from the September – December Mini Catalog. I fell in love with all the products included in this Nests of Winter Suite Collection and for today’s card I used every item in the collection with the exception of the Birch Wood 3D Embossing Folder but not to worry I will be showing a lot more created with all the products because I just can’t get enough of them.
Here is what I came up
with…
The card base is Smoky Slate cardstock cut
to 5 ½ x 6 ½” and scored at 4 ¼”. I then
cut a piece of Copper Clay cardstock to 2 1/8 x 5 3/8” and added it to my 2 ¼” front
flap. To that I added a piece of the Nests
of Winter 12 x 12” Designer Series Paper cut to 2 x 5 ¼” (I love that this card
uses so little DSP just think of how many of these cards you could make using
just one sheet of the DSP, well that would be 12 cards my friends).
Next, I created the fold over flap by cutting
a piece of Smoky Slate cardstock to 3 1/3 x 3 ½” and scoring it at 2 ¾” on the
3 ¼” side. Once that was done, I cut a
piece of Basic White cardstock to 4 x 5 ¼” and attached that small scored side
of the flap to the right side center back and then attached the white to the
inside of the card. I added a piece of
Basic White cardstock that was cut to 2 ½ x 3 ¼” and embossed it with the
Snowflake 3D Embossing Folder before attaching it to my flap.
To decorate the card, I stamped one of the
birds from the bundle and two of the little branches shown on the card onto scraps
of Basic White cardstock using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and die cut them using
the coordinating dies from the bundle. I
colored them using the Stampin’ Blends Markers listed below. I attached the little branches directly onto
the flap and then raised up the bird and attached it to the flap using Dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment “thinking of you
always” onto a scrap of Basic White cardstock with Copper Clay Ink and die cut
it out using one of the dies from the Unbounded Love Dies (any die would work
or you could fussy cut the sentiment or just stamp it onto a rectangle piece of
cardstock). To add some interest, I used
the same die and cut a scrap of Copper Clay cardstock and then cut it in half
and added it sticking out of the back of each side of the sentiment label. I added this with Dimensionals being sure to
only adhere it on the flap itself and not where it over hangs. To finish off the card I added three of the coordinating
Earth Tones Shimmer Gems and a bow created out of the Natural Tones Linen Thread,
both of which are coordinating products.
I hope you enjoy this card I certainly
