Good Sunday morning. My project today is a country village snow scene made using the Memory Box Countryside Circle paired with the My Favorite Things Mini Scallop Square Stax and a tiny star from the Impression Obsession Sun and Moon set. I love using the white and pale blue color combination for snowy holiday cards. There is something so peaceful about the combination and using a bit of sparkles adds special touch.
The Countryside Circle is a small die and I felt being placed on a large card would overwhelm and distract. I decided that 4.50” square would be the perfect size. I cut the scene die out once in full and cut the tree and house section out two more times. I thought the little house a three trees looked a little lonely so I cut the extra houses and trees apart and attached them to the back of the circle frame. I applied a thin line of Cosmic Glitter Glue along the ground level of the scene and covered the trees and then applied glitter to add a little sparkle. I attached the scene layer to the blue scalloped layer using mounting tape and then attached the blue layer to the card base with mounting tape. I applied falling snow to the sky using a Uni-bal white gel pen. I added a tiny sparkly star in the sky to finish. So sad that the sparkle doesn’t really show well in the photos.
Blog Candy
I have the Elizabeth Craft Designs Outdoor Edges die set that I just “had to have” but never used. LOL! I thought it would be the perfect set to offer as blog candy to add to someone’s scenery die stash. Leave a comment on this post by 5:00 pm Friday, Oct 7th telling me what your favorite holiday color combination is. Red, white and green is my absolute favorite but this blue and white combo is certainly running a close second. I’ll announce the randomly chosen winner on my Saturday morning post.
Thanks for coming by and I hope you have a wonderful day.
Card size: 4.50” Square
So beautiful and elegant. My favorite holiday color combo is red, teal and white, and my close second is blue and white like you! TFS and inspiring! Hugs, Kristina
You have turned my head with the blue and white; it’s exactly what color fresh morning snow looks! I’d love to win that die!!
My favorite holiday color is the SU pool party shades. Any mfr any shade. Such a beautiful step away from traditional red and green. Love your card. So gorgeous.
Absolument magnifique!…. J’adoooooooooore!…
My favorite holiday colors are blue, white and silver! Of course I love red, green and gold as a second choice. Thanks for the opportunity to win some candy.
Well….you just can’t beat red and green but we seem to be turning to other combo’s like teal and off color reds and greens. Your blue and white is a classic.
Such a pretty card.
One of my favorite colors; Navy Blue, Silver and white. Or Purple and Gold and for a different twist of things; I also like the Turquoise and Orange together. (the right shades of course)
I’m trying to stay away from the traditional red, green and white. Year after year seeing the same colors gets boring.
Thanks Kittie for this giveaway opportunity
What a beautiful card! As much as I love red and green for Christmas in subdued hues, I love blue, white, and silver the best. I like to add silver because it looks so great with glitter accents, Wink of Stella shimmer, and Twinkling H20’s. I might just have to CASE this card, Kittie, because I think a silver frame would look great too. TFS! You are an inspiration as always!
Deep red and gold top my list for favorite holiday colors. Thanks for sharing yet another absolutely stunning card!
Your card is beautiful so it may become a new favorite Christmas combo but I am really loving turquoise and red for Christmas.
My favorite Christmas colors would be silver, blue and white. You card is beautiful.
I love all your cards Kittie and your choice of colors is always GREAT!!
But, such as you, I love the red, white and green combination it most.
The card you are showing us today is GORGEOUS!!
The pale blue and white makes the card such a serene, peaceful and elegant BEAUTY, I really love it!!
Kittie, Thanks for the chance to win that wonderful die, I love it!!
Greetings and Hugs, Eva.
I do love your blue and white combination here – but I am a traditional girl all the way – red, white and green for me. I do enjoy navy blue and white with a bit of silver as well. Thanks for the continued inspiration.
I love your cards!
Especially this one!!!
As much as I love the blues, whites and silver, my favorites are the deep reds, forest green, and gold.
Thanks for the chance to win.

Just beautiful, Kittie!! I love the crisp and clean colors of your beautiful winter scene. My favorite holiday color combination is kraft with white and a pop of color like blue, red or green.
I totally agree that your pale blue and white combo is peaceful! Your card is beautiful!! I suppose I’m a traditionalist in that I almost always use red, green, and white for my Christmas cards! Thanks for the chance to win the die!
I am loving this blue and white Kittie…and my words exactly…PEACEFUL! I also like white on white…I have seen some pretty ones with a soft pink and green as well….
Hope all is well with you
Love your little scene in blue and white 🙂 Great layering to give it more dimension and great touch of snow.
I would have to say my favorite color combo is a dark Red and green, I love doing scenes and you have been a great inspiration for me!
You have given me so much inspiration with your cards, as it is easier for me to use dies and not a lot of stamping. I love this take on a winter morning where there is snow, which we don’t see here in Florida.
My favorite for holiday cards is dark greens and gold but I truly love all color combos. Thanks for sharing and the chance to win some much needed candy! Stunning layout yet a simple design.
Love blues, but more so red, white and green are my favs. Gorgeous card.
This card is simply gorgeous, I just love the sweet winter scene!

Your cards are always amazing. The colour combination is very peaceful. The scene is lovely. I love this colour combo and a traditional red/green with gold combo. Thank you for inspiring us!
Forgot to say my favorite color combo. I’m a traditional kind of Christmas color gal. Red , white and green but I also love berry red, ivory, and deep mossy green. Love the blue and whit though!

Such a snowy fun filled card! My fave color combo to create the scene is blue and white, represent the winter theme best! Thanks for the chance to win this generous giveaway!
Light blue and white are my favorite Christmas / winter colors. In fact those are the colors I’ll be using in our Christmas cards this year. Thank you for all the beautiful blue and white cards you share with us!
So beautiful! I love this little scene! My favorite holiay color combo is the traditional red and green but I also enjoy teal and brown for holiday cards. Thanks for your giveaway! Would be thrilled to win!
My absolute favorite Christmas color combo is mauve and gold, with blue and silver coming in a close second.
My favorite Christmas color combination is cranberry, olive green and tan. Love the look of old country. But I have to admit for snowflakes and scenery would be blue, white and silver.
Beautiful card, Kitty! I like red and gold or cream and gold and blue and silver or blue and white.
I’m trying cranberry and olive with champagne glitter
something different however love all things Christmas doesn’t matter what colors
Another soft and soothing card…love it.
My fav colors for Christmas would have to be red and green, but I am so into blues right now. I have a big 3D project planned and I’m buying soft, frosty blues and will use white….there will be a white Christmas tree in the project, too, with blue decorations. I’m having a little trouble finding the blues I want to use, however. May need an alternative color scheme just in case.
Lovely card, Kittie. My favorite is red and white on Christmas cards. Thanks for the chance for candy!
BEAUTIFUL card Kittie!!!! You may find this hard to believe, but a card I created, a layered poinsettia, using black yardstick with gold embossing and all fussy cut and layered is my absolute favorite…elegant and a stunner – it was for a ‘using non-traditional colors for a Christmas card – and it won! Another favorite is burgundy and gold.

Love your card, that die is adorable. Mt favorite holiday colors with snowmen is teal and purple. Regular cards with trees etc. I like the traditional red, white and green
Beautiful card! Love your choice of colors for a snow scene. Just perfect! I’m very traditional and love red, white and green with a splash of glitter somewhere for making cards. Love making Christmas cards and all the possibilities out there for creating. That square die you used is a must in my die collection. Would love to win that EC die. Thanks for offering it. You’re so sweet! Can’t wait to see more creations from you.
I love this card. The color scheme is beautiful. That tint of blue is beautiful and the scene is delightful. About the snow glitter not showing up in the photo … it actually does if we click on the picture to make it bigger. I pinned it to my Kittie board.
Now for the greedy part of my comment. My favorite color combination is White, turquoise (or aqua) and red.
I love the traditional red-green-white for Christmas, but light blue and white sprinkled with glitter is a close second. Then again, a photo card of our two cats is precious!
I love your cards! This one is so beautiful, it features some of my favorite colors. My favorite colors for Christmas are blue, white and silver.
Your cards are works of art! I love seeing everyday what new idea you come up with. I especially love the beach cards since I am also from Fl.. My favorite colors for Christmas are blue, white and shiny silver..
Morning Kittie….
I love this card. I used to set up a Christmas Village and your card brought those memories back.
My favorite Christmas colors…. So many but this year, I’m going to be using a very light blue & white & silver.
Thank you for sharing your wonderful creativity
Reddish pink, gold and turquoise. Your card is stunning!!! Love the die in these multiple layers especially!! I think I would like to do that with gold, and the sky Turquoise blue, and then the card part reddish pink. Either way, your design is stunning!!!
I love all your card. And this snow village makes me think about winter. Never thought about my favourite combination. And today, after your question, looking on my last cards understood that white, blue and purple are my favourite colours for holidays cards. And of cause lots of sprinkles )))
Thanks for chance.
I love the peacefulness of pale blue and white, but when I want a really fun card–I can’t resist lime green and pink!
Love your card scenes. My favorite Christmas colors are red, gold and green but I like blue and white for Winter cards.
Blue, white and SILVER are my latest favorites for Christmas and Winter! The new dies cut the foil papers so well it’s easy to add scenery and other figures to a landscape.
Like you, may favorite Christmas colors are red, white and green. However, the blue and white on your card are really pretty. Thank you for giving away your die set to some lucky winner. I hope the winner is me, of course! Thank you for sharing your talent with us. You inspire me with your creations.
Good Afternoon, Kittie, Your card is gorgeous with soft blue and white. I can go with either the blue, white, and sliver, and the traditional red, green, and gold. Depends on the scene creation I am working on; which would be my choice.
however; when decorating the tree and putting things out for Christmas they are all red, green, white, and gold. my favorite; tradition. thanks for the opportunity of blog candy, always a special gift to the winner….have a good week-end.
Absolutely adore your card! I love the CAS style yet the glitter adds perfect detail. My favorite color combo for the holidays lately has been non-traditional colors: light blue, light green, light pink/purple.
I loved this card so much
My favorite at Christmas is red& green
The color blue & white are gorgeous!
Thanks for teaching us all how to make beautiful cards Kittie?
Hi Kittie, your cards are amazing, all the little scenes, I am making some Christmas cards at the moment with blue and white. Greetings from Australia.
Rene from OZ x
I love all the colors of Christmas, but I would go for blue, white, and a bit of silver would be my favorite either light blue to navy they all look good with silver.
Delightful card, Kittie! Love these dies and the ones you used yesterday too. I seem to have a few favourite colour combinations, including the traditional red, white and green, but I recently seem to be making a lot of white-on-white cards. I love the sort of dreamlike quality that I can achieve with the white-on-white and a little glitter.
Your card is absolutely gorgeous! I love the delicate feel of it. My favorite Christmas colors are kraft with the traditional red’s and greens. Oh and plaids-love Christmas colored pladis.
Gorgeous card Kittie! l love your detailed description of how you put your cards together! I think my favorite Christmas colored combo is red and green, but I also love blue and silver and occasionally pink and purple. Thanks for the chance at winning some “blog candy”!

Another beautiful scene!
My favorite holiday color combo is a non-traditional color (pink or lavender)with white and silver.
I love burgundy and deep forest green for my Christmas colors but your blue and white card is gorgeous! Thanks for the chance to win some blog candy.
My favorite combo is dark blue and silver.
Hi Kittie,
My favorites to go color combos are Turquoise and Fuchsia or Navy Blue and Pink, accented with either Gold but preferably Silver. My Christmas cards have very non traditional colors, although I love the Red and Green combo, I force myself to go for unusual combinations!
This card is absolutely Priceless, it is Classy and Sweet and Awesome! Thanks for the chance to win such adorable dies!
Cariños,
María Alba
Lovely card. I always like your scene cards, you do a fabulous job on them. I like the traditional colors of red and green. I could be easy swayed to choose blue and white or dark blue and silver though. LOL
I like forest green, burgundy and cream!
What a beautiful card, Kittie! I too love red and green for the holidays. but red, white and black run a close second. Thanks for the beautiful inspiration!
I’m so glad that I finally discovered you as I love your cards — and this one is no exception! It is so serene with the pale blue and white. And you take these great dies and make them even better by cutting more than one out and using the extra pieces to make the scenes even better.
My favorite Christmas colors for this year are going to be gold with lots of bling! Does that count for more than one color?
Thanks for sharing another beautiful card!
A beautiful scene you have created! My favorite holiday colors are light blue and white with silver.
Blue and white really are gorgeous for wintry scenes, the deer and tree scene from the other day were gorgeous too. However, I have to go with the traditional Christmas colors of Red, Green & Gold as being my favorite. I can’t help it, it’s just so ingrained in my soul and I have a very hard time making cards in non-traditional colors.
I’m still loving getting my emails with all your lovely inspiration. Thank you Kitty!
I’m pretty traditional with my color choices for Christmas, red and green with white is my go to choice, but I could be swayed to blue and white after looking at your pretty card.
Very nice card! You are so talented. I’ve been using teal this year on my snowman cards. Really love the soothing color.
Kitty, Once again you make Holiday cards so beautiful. This is just so peaceful looking. I love pastel and have used blue and white for my cards. I also like Dark red and Tan together. it has an old fashioned look. I think though I will use this blue and white theme as this year we need some peace among us. blessings to you as always.
I’ve been loving Aqua, red and white… Not sure why…not a blue person!
This is just so beautiful! Reminds me of a cold, snowy morning. I love brown and blue together! Woods and blue sky! Thanks for the chance!
While I usually go with the “traditional colors” of red, green and white, you have inspired me to try the blue and white. These colors look so serene and soft, I really like them!
Oh, Kittie ~ Your card is GORGEOUS (as always)!! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE the color combination and the dies you put together!!
My favorite colors for the holidays are pink and white. I have a Christmas tree totally decorated in these colors with Victorian ornaments I have been collecting over the years. Once put up, it is quite lovely … like the cards and projects you create!!
My all time favourite is white, no other colours with it just white on its own usually with a little sparkle somewhere.
I have really been inspired to try your style of card making and I absolutely love it.
Blue and white is my favorite holiday color combo, but I need a little sparkle added, too!
Beautiful scene Kittie ! Blue is my favorite color and I love the details !
Beautiful house card!! I love this die.
I love Christmas Red, Bright Green, black with a touch of gold. I”m traditional for sure.
Karen
Such a gorgeous scene!! I love this stunning creation! Glad I found you! TFS!
My favorite Chrisrmas colors are red and gold and silver. I let the Reds run from burgundy to bright red.
I can never choose just one favorite color or color combo because all colors are so beautiful. But, for Christmas I do love the traditional red and/or green with white. But, I also love deep blue with silver. And although I usually go for silver rather than gold when it comes to metallics, last year I made some cards that used gold shimmery cardstock with gold sparkle embossing powder and gold ribbon that really turned out so pretty. So, it really all depends on the style of the card and the elements used as to what colors look the best.
My favorite colors for Christmas are light blue and a glittery silver. The card you made fall right in this category and I am in love with it. It’s so perfect. Its serene and beautiful. It makes me want to take a walk in that neighborhood!!!! Thank you for sharing such a lovely card and for the chance to win some blog candy!!!!
