New Christmas Card Tutorial

When it's 95 degrees outside, it feels like 102, and you miss the cool weather, you listen to Christmas songs, and make Christmas cards. (wink). That's what I have been doing. The card I made today has a few different techniques I want to share with you. 

I hope you can see the shimmer in the star and the glitter cardstock, and how the falling snow is in 3D

SUPPLIES I used for this card:

1. Nuvo Expanding Mousse - white

2. Heat tool

3. Nuvo - Embossing Powder - Classic Silver

4. Dark blue, and white glitter cardstock

5. Black, dark green, and Versamark stamp ink 

6. Sweet 'N Sassy Star and sentiment stamps from "O Holy Night"Set; Christmas Tree stamp and die from "Christmas Silhouettes" set

7. Lawn Fawn - Lawn Cuts - Dies - Stitched Hillside Borders 

8. Snow falling stencil

9. Adhesive foam

TUTORIAL
Cut a piece of dark blue cardstock the size of the card you would like to make. Secure it on your work surface with light tack tape (Washi tape, painters paint, etc).
Place the stencil on it also secured with light tack tape.
Spread the Nuvo Expanding Mousse with palette knife on stencil until all openings are covered by it. Clean excess with palette knife or a spatula.
Gently remove the stencil
Using heat tool, heat the mousse until puffed up and dry.
Die cut glitter white paper with Lawn Fawn - Lawn Cuts - Dies - Stitched Hillside Borders , and cut the sides to card measurement.

Stamp trees on a white paper and die cut them.
Stamp star with Versamark, cover with Nuvo - Embossing Powder - Classic Silver, and heat emboss it with heat tool.
Glue Blue cardstock and die cut "snow hills" to card base.
Adhere 2 trees to scene, and use Adhesive foam to glue the 3rd one.
Stamp the sentiment phrase, and your card is ready to be given to someone special.
