Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing My Wintery Christmas Barn using the Christmas Barn Bundle by Stampin’ Up! which includes the Christmas Barn Stamp Set and the Barn Dies.
The Details of My Card
For my card, I decided to make a faux centre-step card to allow enough room for the barn to fit on the centre panel. I created my faux centre-step card using my template with all my measurements that I have included at the end of this post. Some die cut snowflake were added at the top of the centre panel to create some interest before adhering it to the card base. You could add DSP as another option.
My Stampin’ Blends were used to colour the elements to create my winter wonderland scene. I have included some links to past colouring tutorials using Stampin’ Blends at the end of this post.
Once I die cut them out, I stamped the sentiment in Cherry Cobbler on the Basic White strip on the right side to allow room for the sled. I popped this piece up so that I could tuck in the barn and trees behind it. Before adding the sled, I trimmed the fence to fit and glued it in place.
I thought the Storybook Gnomes Designer Series Paper was perfect with its large snowflakes to add to my winter wonderland theme and you can see it through the die cut snowflakes on the centre panel! All the embellishments needed was to add the Sparkle & Shine Sequins to create a flurry of more snowflakes!
