Is anyone else in full winter card making mode.  As the weather turns cooler is seems only appropriate that I make cards glittering with snow.  This sweet new stamp set from Elizabeth Craft Designs plus some clear glitter creates the perfect backdrop for this fn winter card.

Step One:  Trim a piece of 100lb White Soft Finish Cardstock to 4.25×11 inches.  Score and fold at 5.5 inches.  Trim a piece of White Christmas printed paper to 4.25x11inches.  Adhere the printed paper to the card frame.

Step Two:  Using a bit of scrap 85lb White Soft Finish Cardstock, add some clear double side adhesive from the 5″ x 12″ sheets.  Coat the double side adhesive with Cool Diamond Silk Microfine Glitter.

Step Three:  Trim the glittered cardstock to look like snowbanks.  Adhere the strips of glitter paper to the bottom of the card to create snowbanks, using three dimensional tape.

Step Four:  Stamp the focal image from the Christmas Kids stamp set and a couple of stars onto some 85lb White Soft Finish Cardstock.  Color the image in with colored pencils.

Step Five:  Die cut out the image using the coordinating Christmas Kids die set.

Step Six:  Adhere the focal image onto the snowbanks.

Step Seven:  Using a piece of 85lb White Soft Finish Cardstock, stamp a sentiment from the Classic Christmas Sentiments stamp set.  Turn the cardstock into a banner and adhere to the top of the card.  Adhere the stars around the banner.

What you end up with is a very simply, yet fun winter scene.  I love how the printed paper create the perfect backdrop for this snow.
