Winter Ski Trip Slimline Card

Happy New Year crafty friends!!

Tomorrow is the LAST DAY of our huge After Christmas Sale where you can save up to 80%!!   If you hurry, you can stock up on your favorites for some crafty fun in the new year!

Kris here with a winter wishes slimline card that I think is fitting for this time of year!  We actually got our first snowfall of the season on Christmas Eve.  While I'm not hoping for a ton of snow this winter, I enjoy creating snowy themed cards like this one.  ☺


I've used the Winter Ski Trip die the cute Winter Raccoon on Skis.  I've also used the Hills Slimline die and the Stitched Rectangles die.

DESIGN STEPS:

I die cut the Winter Ski Trip die 2x and the Winter Raccoon on Skis 1x in white cardstock, then colored with Copic Markers.


I then used the largest of the Stitched Rectangle dies to cut a slimline panel using the extended die method.  I repeated this method for a 2nd panel, then used 2 of the Hills Slimline dies to cut 2 hills from the 2nd panel.  

On the 1st slimline panel, I used Distress Oxide ink pads in Wild Honey, Abandoned Coral and Crackling Campfire and ink blended a sunset to the top half.  I then attached the 2 sets of mountains.

Before adding my decorative elements, I used white acrylic paint mixed with a li'l bit of water to spatter "snow" onto my scene and raccoon.  


Next, I stamped a sentiment onto the snowy hills in Starry Sky ink then attached them to card front, followed by my decorative elements. 

I cut a piece of turquoise cardstock at 7-1/2" x 8-3/4" and scored the 7-1/2" side at 3-3/4" for a top folding slimline card base.  I mounted my card front to the base and done!


Thanks so much for talking a peek today!  I hope you'll take advantage of the huge SALE going on thru Jan 2 (tomorrow night!)  and get your craft on with some of your favorite dies.  

Speaking of favorites, I thought I'd share my 9 favorite cards I've made from 2023 --- super hard to pick just 9, but here's just SOME of my faves ☺
