Slimline Winter Scene Christmas Cards

Sometimes I make a card that I truly just love and this one of my slimline winter scene Christmas cards is a winner, I think! I just love the falling snow, the trees in the background and the way that lamp offers what feels like a warm glow. Isn’t this just PERFECT to send to those people for whom you have a lot of holiday news to share?

For this card I used the Rubbernecker Slimline Solid Bubble Scallop, Winter Lamp Post, Deckle Hills, Greenery #1, 3 Pine Trees and Splatter Background.  The Enjoy the Magic sentiment is a retired.

The Scene Layer and Card Base

• Cut a 7.00″ x 8.50 white card base and sore down the center.
• Use red cardstock to cut a 3.25″ x 8.25″ layer and attach to the card base using ATG adhesive.
• Cut the slimline layer using white cardstock.
• Apply masking tape around all the edges of the slimline, apply a blue sky background using a blender brush and Beachside ink.
• Stamp the trees using Shady Lane ink and heat dry using a heat gun.
• Apply embossing magic over the trees and sky area.
• Stamp the falling snow using white pigment ink , sprinkle white embossing powder and heat emboss.
• Remove the masking tape.
• Apply strips of mounting tape to the back of the scene layer and attach to the card base.

The Lamp Post and Snow Layers

• Cut two deckle snow layers using white cardstock.
• Cut the snow layers a second time using the slimline die to create matching borders.
• Stamp the sentiment using Shady Lane ink.
• Attach the snow layers to the scene base using ATG adhesive.
• Cut the lamp post sections using black, white and yellow cardstock.
• Attach the snow layers  and the yellow lamp shades to the lamp post using glossy accents.
• Apply strips of mounting tape to the back of the lamp post, tuck it in behind the snow layer and attach to the scene base.
• Apply sparkle to the lam shade using a clear shimmer pen.

The Tiny Wreath

• Use snips to cut a small circle and cut the center of the circle out to create a wreath base.

• Attach tiny green sprigs to the wreath base using glossy accents.
• Attach 1/8″ red circles to the wreath using glossy accents.
• Cut thin strips of red cardstock and create the tiny bow for the wreath.
• Attach the bow to the wreath using glossy accents.
• Use glossy accents to attach the wrath to the lamp post.
• Apply red stickles to the red circles to add sparkle.
