Snowy Winterberries & Jolly Wishes quick tutorial with unity stamp co.

Christmas, layering, Stamps by Graciellie Design, tutorial23 Comments

I’ve always loved seeing die cuts covered in snowy textures, so I came up with an easy way to add snow to some pretty Holiday Winterberries. My Christmas cards never seem to have a traditional color combination and today’s card is no exception.

I had to cut 4 different pieces to put together the final frame on this card… At one point I thought it was not going to work out, but most of the times I don’t give up on a project, I just make slight changes and suddenly the design starts to make sense. In this case the beautiful Burlap and Bouquets paper by Fancy Pants Designs made a big difference! 
I played with die cuts quite a bit for this card… The striped layer was cut with a Distressed Benson Corner die on opposite corners and that created a beautiful effect, letting the patterned paper show through. The central circle was embossed with a Gold Circles One die and that added a cool textured frame around the sentiment.

I made a quick and easy tutorial for the -lovely- Holiday Winterberries. View my tutorial HERE. I would love it if you could click on the little heart on my guide’s cover!

I finished up my card with a crisscrossed ribbon column, a Nestled Bird cut from patterned paper, pearls, rhinestones and a super cute Jolly Wishes stamp from my latest stamp kit by Unity Stamp Co. (view kit HERE).

I hope you enjoyed today’s post and tutorial! Thanks for visiting.
