CottageCutz: 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.
