Winter Scenes – Noel

Design Time: For the Facebook Case-ing Tuesday (#536) Sketch.  Today’s card can be found on page 32 of the September 2025 – December 2026 Mini Catalog. 

CASE: (Copy and Steal Everything) Making it the same; (Copy and Slightly Edit) Almost the same with a little variation; (Copy and Selectively Edit) Changing things.  You are welcome to choose how you create.  I decided to go with a monochromatic clean and simple design but keeping some of the texture.

My design choices were influenced by: Jingle Belles (#2522) with a Snow theme; Farm Quest Country Christmas (#25) with their Rural Holiday theme; and sharing with Inspire Create (#204) with a Christmas theme.

Here is the result:

Steps:

• Card Base: (8½” x 5½” scored at 4¼”) Misty Moonlight cardstock.
• Background Panel (5¼” x 4”) Cloud Cover Ombre patterned piece of paper from the Peaceful Garden Designer Series Paper pack dry-embossed with the retired Wintry 3D Snowflake Embossing Folder.
  • The texture of the Swirling Snow was enhanced by sanding with a Sanding Block.
  • The greeting, Noel, from the Joyful Tidings stamp set was stamped with Versamark ink and heat-set with White Embossing Powder.
• Accent Frame: (5” x 3”) Misty Moonlight cardstock die-cut with the (4¾” x 2⅝”) Elongated Hexagonal die from the Nested Essentials Dies set.
• Focal Image – Winter Snow Scene: (4½” x 2½”) Basic White cardstock.
  • The outline of the (4⅜” x 2⅛”) Elongated Hexagonal die, from the same Dies set, was traced with a pencil to give me the stamp area.
  • Two of the Winter Scene images, Cabin and Trees, from the Winter Scenes stamp set, an On-Line Exclusive product, were stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink with the aid of the Stamp-a-ma-jig Positioning Tool.
  • The scene was colored with Stampin’ Blends Markers.  Colors chosen: Trees – Light Shaded Spruce; Cabin – Light and Dark Crumb Cake; Snow – Light Pool Party; and some light Smoky Slate was added to the Bare Branched Trees/Shrubs.
  • The scene was then die-cut.

All elements were adhered to the card base to resemble the sketch.  The framed Scene was popped up with Dimensionals. 

Holiday warmth found in amongst the snowy trees for Christmas.
