Bella Blvd Studio Blog: Winter Cards with Maree Crozier

Hi Bella friends,

Maree here today to share some winter cards with you made using the Merry Little Christmas collection and some of the cute small letters from Letter Scrambles.

I made three cards using some of the pretty winter papers in Merry Little Christmas and some of the lovely ephemera from the collection. I used some stamps, gems and dies from my stash to pull everything together.

My first cards features this cute little snowman ephemera. He was so cute, I made a snowy scene around him. I started with the blue spotted paper called 'Merry Everything' as my background. I used a little Distress Ink (in color Broken China) in the back ground of a circle die cut to create the scene and added some sweet puffy stickers for dimension. I used the white small letter scramble stickers with a simple stamp to make the sentiment "Hello Winter". I finished the card off with some small sparkly gems to give a snowy effect.

My second card I turned landscape to make a fun winter scene with some of the house ephemera from the collection. The base of the card is the super pretty green check called 'Filled with Joy'. It is a really lovely shade of green. I added the houses and some glitter pops of color on the roofs to resemble snow. I added some of the puffy sticker trees, some small snow die cuts with gems for dimension. I used the black letter scramble small words and some stamps to make the sentiment, "Sending warm greetings".

For my third card I picked the sweet bunnies, aren't they just adorable? I used the 'Merry Everything' paper again for the background and created some snowy hills with white card stock. I distressed the edges. Next I added a couple of white large snow flakes that I had dies for and then added the bunnies on top using foam adhesive squares. I added the small tree puffy stickers and the hearts. I added some tiny gems on the snowflakes. I used the letter scrambles small letters in the color "Ice" for the word winter and stamped the small wishes word in Distress ink in the color Broken China.

I had so much fun making these cards and enjoyed using this Christmas collection in a different way. Have a great day!
