winter scene christmas card

Begin with two of the plain white cards. Lay one on your work surface so that the opening is on your right and lay one so that the opening is on your left. To make the tri-fold card, slide the two cards together with the left opening flap on the top and back of the other card. Glue the two backs together then open both flaps so it lays flat.

Cut a piece of blue cardstock to fit the middle section of the cards and adhere in place.

In order for the flaps to lay flat, you may have to slightly trim the right edge of middle layer/flap. Now, lightly draw your snow hill on that flap. This will be the higher of the two hills. Cut the hill out of the flap.

Fold the hill flap in, then decide where to draw and cut the lower hill. Lightly draw the hill, then cut it out of the flap.

Using your Sizzix® and the trees dies, cut out two trees from white cardstock.

Adhere the trees in place.
TIP: Use the image as a guide.

Open the card up so it's laying flat. On the blue, middle section, stamp a sentiment towards the top. Be sure it won't end up behind one of your trees. Attach a cling stamp to an acrylic stamp block, tap the stamp onto the white ink and stamp onto the paper. Sprinkle with white detail embossing powder and tap off the excess. Now, heat the image using your heat tool to create the embossed sentiment.

Using your white pen, make dots of different sizes all over the background to represent snow. Then, glue on some of the snowflake glitter.

Add a border along the top with glue and sprinkle with blue glitter. Tap off the excess.

Finally, add dimension and sparkle to your "snow" by drawing on the trees and hills with glue, then sprinkling over it with white glitter. Tap off the excess and let dry completely.
