I hope you’re having as much fun with the wintery designs as I am this week! Ordinarily, I would be escaping the Texas heat by dreaming of winter, but we continue to enjoy unseasonably cool, spring-like weather here in North Texas and I’m not complaining a bit!
Today, we’re learning a new fun fold to build this super cute snowy scene using Merriest Trees and the new Online Exclusive stamp set called Filled With Cheer. The double easel fold is a cute way to showcase sets that create scenes or just to draw attention to beautiful patterned paper and a sentiment.
We get started on today’s snowy scene with a standard card base of Lost Lagoon cardstock. In this case, we’re cutting the base so that our center fold is oriented at the top of the portrait-oriented design. Our double easel is created with a sheet of Pretty Peacock, which also serves as the mat for our patterned paper on each front-facing panel. The small tree patterned sheet from the Winter Meadow designer series paper pack is our backdrop for this snowy scene. Our tree is diecut from Pretty Peacock cardstock using the Merriest Trees dies, which are designed to layer on top of one another to create the look of a fluffy evergreen tree. Layers of dimensionals help provide our fluffy look even after our card has made its trek through the mail. A dab of Wink of Stella across the bottom of each layer of branches adds some twinkle. The snowman from Filled With Cheer is stamped on white cardstock and is then separated from the remaining portion of the stamped scene with paper snips. A touch of color is added to the hat, scarf, and nose of the snowman using Stampin’ Blends. The snowman is adhered on top with layers of dimensionals to ensure he stands out against the background elements. I chose the “warm hello” sentiment from Filled With Cheer and stamped in Versamark on the snowy vellum sheet from the Graceful Greenery vellum pack. It’s then covered with white embossing powder and heat embossed. I just loved the play on words with the melting snowman. *grin* The transparent dots serve as cover for the dimensionals under the sentiment but also serve as subtle snowflakes across the card front.
Isn’t this just the cutest scene?! Today’s card is a part of the Luv 2 Stamp Group Instagram Hop, which goes live at 9 AM Pacific Time (PST). Click here to head over to my Instagram feed and check out what the other demos in our L2S Group have created for you today!
