Sometimes the simplest card designs are the perfect way to let a beautiful stamped image shine! For this winter-themed handmade card, I’m featuring the new Snow Over It Stamps from Pajama Crafter Stamps.
Creating a Simple Snowy Card
I started by stamping the image from the new Snow Over It Stamp Set onto a white cardstock panel. Color was added to the image with Prismacolor Pencils.
To create a little atmosphere around the stamped image, I lightly inked the background. This subtle touch helps the focal image stand out without distracting from the main design.
Of course, a winter card needs a little sparkle! I added clear glitter glue to the snow and snowflakes in the stamped image. The glitter catches the light beautifully and adds a frosty finish to the scene.
Assembling the Card
Once the coloring and glitter glue were complete, I adhered the finished image panel to a white 5 x 7-inch card base covered with metallic cardstock. The metallic layer adds a touch of shine and gives the simple design a polished finish.
To complete the card, I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment, “If you need me, I’ll be hibernating,” onto a smaller white rectangle. The sentiment panel goes along the bottom of the card base. This helps create a clean, balanced layout that keeps the focus on the winter image and its playful message.
Adding a die cut border and 3 die cut snowflakes add little something extra! And adding some Girl’s Best Friend Rhinestone Mix Embellishments complete the design.
A Little Winter Inspiration
This card is a reminder that you don’t need lots of layers or embellishments to create a special handmade card. A stamped image, colored pencils, subtle ink blending, and a little glitter are all it takes to create a charming winter design!
The new Snow Over It Stamp Set from Pajama Crafter Stamps makes a wonderful addition to your winter cardmaking supplies. Pairing it with your favorite coloring medium and adding a touch of sparkle for a snowy scene that’s sure to bring a smile.
