This card is a beauty and the sentiment really spoke to me. Let’s be honest, 2020 was not the best year for most people. And a 2020 Christmas is looking very different than most of us imagined. This year I have really seen the “magic” that sending a card can do, and since I will not be seeing my loved ones this year, I have been on a mission to make as many cards as possible to send in the mail. Not only is this a classy, sentimental card, but it also uses relatively few supplies and was easy to replicate.
I started this project by embossing the houses stamp from the Simon Says Stamp We Believe stamp set and the “Missing you at Christmastime” stamp from the December SSS card kit in white on kraft paper. I then colored the images using some inexpensive Crayola crayons. I then very roughly masked off the house fronts and the sentiment with some masking tape. I used a SSS falling snow stencil and some Gina K Designs Iridescent glitz to add the beautiful falling snow. Once the snow had dried, I trimmed down my card front 4×5.25″. I wanted to make the scene look a bit more snowy, so I inked the edges of my card panel using a foam tool and some picket fence distress ink. I then mounted my card panel using foam tape onto an A2 card base (from 120lb SSS cardstock). And voila, complete!
On an unrelated note, I would also like to say thank you so much for checking out the website. This is my very first project shared on here, and it means a lot to me that you stopped by to take a look. If you like what you see, I would also encourage you to follow me on Instagram or Pinterest for more crafty inspiration.
