Here’s a cool and icy looking Christmas Card, perfect for the skiing bunny, called Freezin’ Fun Christmas Wishes. The little guys in this stamp set are so cute you can’t help but love them! This little bunny is having fun skiing down a pretty steep slope amid the snowflakes! If you are making several designs of Christmas cards, you might like this one for a fun, whimsical card to send someone special.
I had planned to use the Feels Like Frost 6″ x 6″ Specialty Designer Series Paper. It was brought back from last year. I guess all the snowy, wintery photographic scenes on the paper were hits! As pretty as those scenic papers are, the other side with silver foil designs is also pretty and fun. It’s hard to use one side and miss out on the opposite side! For this card, the foil side won out, even though I had planned on the wintery scenes! You never know when you start creating!!
The card base is Balmy Blue with a layer of Whisper White to help the Feels Like Frost paper stand out a little. Cards with foil are always hard to photograph because of glare, but this paper is silver foil with white dots that look like snow.
I stamped the bunny from the Freezin’ Fun Stamp Set and cut him out easily with the Freezin’ Friends Dies. You can buy both the stamp set and the dies together in the Freezin’ Fun Bundle and save 10%.
The Balmy Blue oval is die cut with the Stitched Shapes Dies. In the Freezin’ Friends Dies is just a long curvy die with which I made the snowy slope. I die cut the slope just out of a scrap of Whisper White, then adhered it to the oval and trimmed off the excess with Paper Snips.
The bunny is popped up on Stampin’ Dimensionals skiing down the slope! Of course, I colored him with Stampin’ Blends first, which I love to do! After adhering the layers together to make the card and adhering the oval to the front, I added some Adhesive-Backed Snowflakes. Those were sure fun to stick on! You could also glue on Snowflake Sequins with teeny tiny drops of Multipurpose Liquid Glue. Be sure to grab your Take Your Pick tool when you are handling these tiny pieces! It makes it a lot easier!
The greeting is stamped in Balmy Blue Ink from the Banner Year Stamp Set. I simply stamped it on a long scrap and then punched the ends with the Lovely Labels Pick a Punch. Not being able to leave something plain alone, I had to add a couple of Rhinestones to the ends!
Even with the die-cutting, this card is pretty easy to make, simple design! Check your stash and see if you bought this designer paper last year and if so, get it out and start making some cards with it. It doesn’t even have to be just for winter or Christmas with the foil designs! If you don’t own it, you can purchase it, but wait until October 1st! There’s a designer paper sale coming!!
