Hi Everyone,
Today is such a wonderful time to sip some coffee and create a stunning card for the Paper Players weekly card challenge (PP570). This week is a theme challenge called "Winter Wonderland". Well the Snow Wonder Stamp set and Snow Time Dies are perfect for this challenge.
The snowman in the Snow Wonder Stamp set is such a wonderfully traditional one. I just love the way it was drawn as well as shading already done. This stamp set, dies, DSP, and embellishments are all part of the Last Chance promotion by Stampin' Up! These are all retiring and are available while supplies last.
One of the ways to create a simple and stunning card is to use the specialty designer series papers. I used the Peaceful Cabin 12" x 12" Specialty DSP. This glimmering DSP is stunning already, so you don't need much more. For the snowman, I stamped and die-cut out 4 of them. Then I glued them together to add dimension and stability. You can see how much the snowman stands out on this card. I didn't use dimensionals either.
Soft colors of Stampin' Blends keep this card with a wintery feel. Add a little bling with the Snowflake Sequins and you have a fabulous card!
The Paper Players pp570 theme challenge just began, but there are already lots of great projects to see. You can even create your own winter wonderland and upload it as well.
The Last Chance Sale has begun and continues through January 3rd. Many of the products I used today are on the Last Chance list and are available while supplies last. Don't miss out on that wonderful Peaceful Place Specialty DSP or the Snow Wonder Stamp set and Snow Time Dies. The dies are 20% off too.
