"Snow Front" Card Tutorial and Kitty Update! - Tina Zinck, Stampin' Up! Demonstrator

Hi Friends! I hope you had a nice weekend! Well, this may come as no surprise, but we’ve decided to keep this little kitty! There is no way we can part with it – he has us all under his spell. If you haven’t read my story about this little bundle of love – click here.

Kitty has found his forever home with us, and we finally decided on his name – “Forest”. One, because I found him in the forest. Two, because ‘he was running’ (remember the movie “Forest Gump’?) to me when I called out to him. Forest has already fit in with our family perfectly, including with our other furkids, as you can see from the above photo with Cooper! Forest is unbelievably loving, calm and quiet, cuddly and so sweet. He follows me everywhere. I am so happy I found him!

So onto today’s card! I’m sharing a tutorial with you that features one of my favourite stamp sets, “Snow Front”. These stamps are so much fun to create with!

Night
of Navy: 4” x 5-1/4”
Shimmery
White: 3-3/4” x 5” and 4” x 5-1/4” (inside of card,
optional)

Instructions:

Fold
the Mossy Meadow cardstock In half to create your base card.
Stamp
the cabin using Early Espresso ink in the middle of the 3-3/4” x
5” piece of Shimmery White cardstock.
Stamp
the trees to the right of the cabin using Mossy Meadow ink. Stamp
the trees again to the left of cabin using the same stamp & ink.
Use the “narrow hill” stamp just below the trees to fill in the
tree line.
Using
Early Espresso ink, stamp the sentiment just below right trees.
Cut
one of the Sponge in half, then in half again so that you have a
quarter of a sponge. Using Seaside Spray ink, carefully sponge all
the way down to the tree line, being careful to not get any inside
on the cabin roof.
Using
Night of Navy ink and a new quarter sponge, add Night of Navy ink in
small swirls, starting at the top and working down to the bottom.
Don’t add Night of Navy ink all the way down to the tree line;
leaving space around the cabin/trees so that only the Seaside Spray
ink shows. Repeat as needed.
Adhere
to the Night of Navy mat and then adhere to base card using Stampin’
Dimensionals.
