Let’s extend a BIG holiday greeting this season with a 6″ Square Card with Lots of Snowy Wonder Layers.

This week I’m sharing a non-standard size card with lots of layers. The go-to tools for the project come from the adorable Snowy Wonder suite by Stampin’ Up! It offers lots of  elements to create winter scenes and snow globes — stamps, dies and patterned paper. Everything works together to create fun snow globes or the snowy wonder of  winter.

Check out the cute penguin, snowman, cabin, pine trees, candy canes and MORE — perfect for the Week 4 project of the 12 Weeks of Christmas by Just Stamp! For twelve weeks, there are projects shared to inspire you to make this year a handmade holiday.

In the video linked below, I demonstrate how to layer up the patterned papers from the Snowy Scenes Designer Series Paper pack to showcase the snow globe cropped straight from one paper sheet.

Extend the smiles a handmade card brings with a Twisted Easel specialty card they can display all season long.

This week’s Christmas project — Week 3 of the 12 Weeks of Christmas Series — features the beautiful Winterly Tree Tops bundle with two WOW! techniques: Twisted Easel fun fold and the white splatter method to mimic snow.

Have you studied the Nests of Winter suite in the Stampin’ Up! Holiday Mini Catalog? I couldn’t resist the sketched birds perched on branches. And the friendly sentiments are great for winter or all year long.

Plus, there are lots of creative options. Color the stamped images with Stampin’ Blends or your favorite coloring tools, or snip the birds from the coordinating patterned paper with Paper Snips or even dies that coordinate with some of the birds. This bundle works for Christmas cards or sending messages of thanks and friendship all year-long.

You will want this special suite.

The Twisted Easel card features a foresty Shaded Spruce frame which I winterized with snow after cutting it with the coordinating die. In the video linked below, I demonstrate the white splatter technique — just one way to add snow to a project.

Make a stunning Christmas card that the recipient can display through the holiday season with the beautiful Artful Amaryllis bundle offered in the Holiday Mini Catalog.

The Artful Amaryllis Stamp Set has a lush amaryllis image plus sentiments that you can use for Christmas, thanks, and thinking of you. Stamp the open line-art flower and color it with your favorite hues and coloring tools. Or stamp the line-art flower, then stamp it with the filler images for a solid and dimensional look. Even though amaryllis is traditionally seen as a Christmas flower, you can use this one all year long. Just use different colors for the flower for different times of year.
