Some holiday cards can divert from traditional colors and themes, right? The critters from Stampin’ Up!’s Freezin’ Fun are frolicking about to create a fun winter scene holiday card that will surely make the recipient happy.
The project highlights my favorite color combo du jour: Misty Moonlight, Pacific Point, Balmy Blue and Highland Heather. This is the very combo I shared in this week’s newsletter. (If you’re not on the email list, you will want to subscribe so you can receive exclusive projects and notices. Use the sign up box on the page to join.)
This color combo transports me to fluffy snow-capped mountains with snow bunnies and cute penguins swishing down hills on their skis and snowboards. So relaxing.
Here’s a close-up of the bunny and penguin warmed in their Highland Heather scarves. There are lots of crafty details: soft embossed snowflakes sparkling on the white background, heat embossed flakes floating across a sky spritzed with Pacific Point, and a stitched snow slope for cool, winter fun. It’s a perfect winter scene — just what the year 2020 calls for.
This project was featured during a Friday Facebook Live class. Here is the edited version to learn how to recreate the scene.
Here’s another winter scene created with the same color combination. The letters were die-cut using the Playful Alphabet and foam adhesive strips. So easy to add dimension this way.
Here’s another winter scene holiday card featuring the Perfectly Plaid trees and my go-to embossing folder, PineWood Planks.
Finally, for mass production, substitute a patterned paper Snowflake Splendor Designer Series Paper for the more-time consuming heat-embossed background. The color combo is just as amazing!
