Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop!
This month, the Pals have been busy creating cozy, frosty, whimsical card ideas and paper crafts for our Winter Wonderland theme — using our favorite Stampin’ Up! goodies. Each project brings a different twist, and that’s what makes the hop feel like a stroll through a creative winter village. If you’re looking for inspiration (or maybe a reason to stay inside with your craft supplies), this hop is for you!
Today’s card is a frosty winter scene. The predominant color is Cloud Cover, a soft peaceful gray. Then the snowy vignette from the Beautiful Gallery Designer Series Paper is cut with the Everyday Arch Dies.
To create the look of snow on the vignette, I mixed some Whisper White Craft Ink from a refill and some water and sprinkled that on the scene with a paintbrush.
My favorite part of this card is the fern-y leaves. They were cut from Vellum using the Beautiful Motifs Dies. The leaves were colored with a Dark Mossy Meadow Stampin’ Blend Alcohol Marker. After that dried, I brushed each leaf with some sparkly Wink of Stella.
To further frost the leaves, I dusted them with some Silver Wow Embossing Powder (while the Wink of Stella was still wet) and dried them with the Heat Tool. I just love the way they turned out!!
The sentiment was stamped in Mossy Meadow ink, and a sweet bow was added in the lower right corner.
Keep the inspiration going! Follow the lineup below to hop through each blog and enjoy every beautifully frosty idea.
And stick around — next month we’re creating for the “Something New” theme, and you won’t want to miss it!
