The 12 Days of Christmas Cards Day 4

November 12, 2019 /

Hello and welcome to day four of The 12 Days of Christmas Cards series. Today’s card is a quiet snowy Christmas Eve scene. Imagine Silent Night playing on the radio while you peer out the window at this dreamy landscape anticipating the joy of Christmas morning. Sounds lovely I think!

To create this card I combined elements from The December SOTM along with the CTMH Complete Creativity collection. To begin, I embossed snow flurries onto a Sapphire background and then, using my Micro-tip scissors, I hand trimmed snow banks from a strip of White Daisy. With my Cricut Explore, I cut four trees from New England Ivy cardstock alternating the two sides of the paper for more dimension and interest.

The larger trees are cut at 2″ while the smaller measures 1.5″. I love that you can pull any particular element from a layout design in the Complete Creativity collection and use it for another project. It is so incredibly versatile! The sentiment is one of several featured on the December SOTM. I embossed it with silver embossing powder and wrapped silver thread around the base to finish it off with some pizzaz. (This stamp will be available December 1st)
