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.
