Winter Card Ideas: Sunday Cardmaking

I’m back with more winter card ideas. I had some holiday pictures to mail off, and I thought this was a fun card to create, to accompany those pictures.

Let me walk you through the process. It’s not hard at all!

WINTER CARD IDEAS

Directions for making Winter card

I started with an 8.5 x 11″ sheet of cardstock from  My Favorite Things and cut a piece 6″ square and folded it in half. I chose this size, because inside, I added a Caribou gift card, just a little after the holidays treat! I just stuck it on with a Memory Book Dot ‘n Go glue dot.

A piece of patterned Authentique paper sized 2.75 x 5.75″ was added. I colored the edges of the card with a Copic marker to match the patterned paper. The paper edges are inked in the same color using the broad tip. I stamped the image on cardstock with Memento ink and then taped my die in place using Washi tape to hold it in place. When I removed the die and paper, I left the tape, and sponged on some Close to My Heart ink to distress it.

I placed some white chipboard on a Wacky Tape Sheet and die cut a bird and wing. The bird was then glittered with some Clearsnap Sugar Shimmer.

I bent the vine in the shape I wanted and adhered it with 3 in 1 Craft Glue. I threaded some Rustic Coconut Shell Buttons using some twine, and adhered the buttons using Memory Book Dot ‘n Go glue dots and a few foam squares for added dimension. I added the rest of the embellishments using 3 in 1 Craft Glue and Memory Book Dot ‘n Go glue dots.

Shabby Chic Card: Sunday Cardmaking

Cardmaking - Winter I

I’ve got a shabby chic card for today’s Sunday Cardmaking post – and it is very easy. It’s for a friend that loves all things shabby chic.

Let me walk you through the process. It’s not hard at all!

Directions for a shabby chic card:

I started with an 8.5 x 11″ sheet of cardstock from  My Favorite Things and cut a strip 5.5 x 11″ and folded it in half. A piece of patterned Authentique paper sized 5.25″ square was added. I placed some plain cardstock on a Wacky Tape Sheet and die cut a star. The star was then glittered with some Clearsnap gold glitter. I adhered the large snowflake and glittered star and button with 3 in 1 Craft Glue.

I gathered the fibers and ribbons. I cinched them together with Wild White Buttons and Rustic Coconut Shell Buttons using some twine. I punched two small holes in the cardstock behind each button, and tied the ribbon to the card. The rest of the embellishments were adhered using 3 in 1 Craft Glue and Memory Book Dot ‘n Go glue dots.

Once everything was dry, I placed the card, along with a few small gifts, in a bubble mailer. It’s a little late for Christmas, but it’s a nice winter card, too. Don’t you think?
