I decided to include two Christmas and winter cards with different scenes.




For my first card, I made an outdoor winter snow scene with a girl and her dog.


Sentiment:  Let the fun begin.

Here is another look at the dog card scene.

Here is my second scene card for the blog hop.


Sentiment: Christmas is truly Christmas when we celebrate it by giving the light of love to those who need it most.
Now, here is a closer look.

 

Helpful Tips:
To make each of these scene cards, stamp each element individually using a mix of colors.  Then, color the outline stamps.  Next, fussy cut (cut out) all of the stamping.  Also, trim or die-cut background snow slopes and/or trees.  Then, add snow dots to the front of the taupe color card base.  Finally, layer to build the scene using flat and foam double-sided tape and/or glue, to finish.

Here is the outdoor snow scene process:


And, this is the process for the indoor card scene.
