I’m back with another winter card for Sunday Cardmaking here at Buttons Galore. I had some holiday pictures to mail off, and I thought this was a fun winter card to create, to accompany those pictures.
Do you love a winter card that’s easy to make? I used all scraps!
Directions for making Winter Card
I started with an 8.5 x 11″ sheet of cardstock from My Favorite Things and cut a piece 4 x 8″ and folded it in half. Yes, I like to make cards in all shapes and sizes.
I cut a piece of patterned Authentique paper sized 3.5″ square. I also cut a 1 x 4.5″ strip of the same paper, and flipped it over. I stamped snowflakes on this piece, and accented it with Dimensional Pearls Paint and bling and pearls from Want2Scrap. I colored the pearls with a Copic marker to get a matching shade. I stamped the sentiment on a scrap of white cardstock and trimmed it into strips. The edges were lined with a Copic marker, and then colored with a lighter shade to match the patterned papers.
The sentiment reads …
In the depths of winter, I finally learned that within me was an invincible summer.
I promise, Spring is coming. The trees will soon be singing again.
To finish off the winter card, I punched some snowflakes from the matching patterned paper and painted them with some glossy accents and sprinkled Sugar Shimmer. These are adhered with dimensional foam dots. I then chose three matching Clear Round Buttons and punched out small circles of a coordinating Authentique patterned paper. I adhered the paper to the buttons with Glossy Accents then I attached the Clear Round Buttons and two Rustic Coconut Shell Buttons using Memory Book Dot ‘n Go glue dots.
