Snowy Winter Trees

Hi crafty friends! I’m Michelle Woerner and I am super excited to be a guest designer with Pretty Pink Posh and help celebrate the November Winter Release! Today I’m sharing a serene layered winter trees card using several of the new release sets- the Snowy Hills Borders, Winter Trees and Twinkle stencil.

To start my card, I die cut two shades of blue, pale gray and white cardstock with the Snowy Hills Border die set. Once I had my cut pieces, I laid them out and arranged them into a snowy hills layout that I liked. I then used the Twinkle stencil with white paste on the blue pieces adding pretty texture. And for some extra sparkle, I used Stardust Stickles on the top of the white snowy hills.

Designer tip: Designers often follow the Rule of Threes, but card designs look equally as good with any odd number. For my card, I used 4 trees and a sentiment, making a cluster of 5 elements.

To make the trees, I used the Winter Trees die set and cut them from the darker blue cardstock. I arranged the trees in the snowy hills, some of the trunks tucked behind the snowy hills and some in front to add dimension. To add a small pop of color, I added berry color gems to the trees and by the sentiment. The sentiment is from the Let It Snow stamp set and cut with the coordinating die set.
