A Christmas, winter card using the most adorable set of snowmen! Behind the window, is some wonderful lt blue snowflake paper and I’ll show you how i used a regular rectangle to make the long window cut out. It’s a great way to stretch the use of dies you already have.
A big congrats to Diane, the newest Featured Stamper (FS912)! She has a big, beautiful gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the layout & snowmen but I used different images, dies & papers and cut out a long window behind instead of adding a layer w/ the snowmen on top.
After coloring & die cutting the snowmen w/ their coordinating dies, I die cut a large white panel w/ the 2nd largest sm. scallop rectangle. Then I used an even smaller sized scallop rectangle & resized it to make it about half again longer. I also die cut 2 of the snowflake borders, put one across the top of the window & one under the bottom edge of the window. After dry fitting my snowmen to determine placement of the greeting, I stamped it in the center. A large lt blue snowflake paper was cut w/ a rectangle w/ sm scallop & holes die to place behind the white panel. Then I attached everything together & popped up the 2 large snowman just a bit before attaching them.
Here are the step out pictures of how i extended the length of the small rectangle for the window. (click on any picture to make it larger.) Note: my top plate is one meant for a Sizzix Jr. It allows me to cut precise areas. The machine I’m using is a Big Shot & the bottom plate is a normal size.
Here are the Copics I used:
