Can't wait for some cool temps? Here's a card to get in the mood. I CASEd this from another Stampin' Up! Demonstrator, Amy Koenders. I think these images are just so cute!
Stamps & dies: Freezin' Fun and Freezin' Friends Dies - get the bundle from the August-December 2020 Mini Catalog. Item #155176. Also dies from stitched rectangles (Annual Catalog, #151820)
Background: Trimming the Town Designer Series Paper (153491), also from the Mini Catalog.
Cardstock: Pool Party (card base 11" x 4 1/4", fold at 5 1/2"), whisper white, 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" and die cut for the slopes; scraps of white to stamp the 3 trees, bunny, penguin, and snow board; another scrap for the sentiment (die cut with stitched rectangles).
Stampin' Blends to color the images: Shaded spruce, crumb cake, real red, gray granite, petal pink, mango melody.
Other: Snowflake Adhesive-backed Embellishments (153545) - in the Mini Catalog. Multipurpose Liquid Glue (110755), Standard Cut & Emboss Machine (149653).
Cut the DSP so that you have the mountains as a background, 4 1/4" x 5 1/2". Adhere to the Pool Party card base (11" x 4 1/4", folded at 5 1/2").
From the white card stock (5 1/2" x 4 1/4"), use the curved die in Freezin' Friends Dies to cut 2 slopes. Glue the slopes, overlapping, bottom edges flush to card base bottom edge. LEAVE A SMALL AREA (~1/2") ON THE TOP-MOST SLOPE UNGLUED, so that the small tree can be layered under it (see picture of card).
Stamp images onto white CS using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink (132708). Die cut the images using coordinating dies from Freezin' Friends. The magnetic plate for the new Standard Cut & Emboss Machine makes the cutting super easy. The metal dies stay in place when this plate is used. Magnetic Plate is now available, item #149656.
Color in the images:
Shaded spruce for the trees, the penguin's scarf, and the pom-pom on his hat.
Read Red: bunny's scarf, and penguin's hat.
Petal Pink: bunny's ears, nose, tummy
Gray Granite: Penguin
Crumb Cake: skis and snow board
Mango Melody(oops! not shown in picture above): Penguin's feet, beak (see below).
Adhere the trees & the characters - I used the Multipurpose glue, but mini glue dots (103683) would also work well. Tuck one of the trees behind the top slope.
Stamp sentiment in Shaded Spruce, some snow flakes in Pool Party; die cut; adhere with Stampin' Dimensionals (104430). Randomly stick some of the snowflake embellishments.
INSIDE card: I used a strip of the DSP, glued to a piece of Whisper White CS 3 1/2" x 4 1/4", stamped a sentiment in Real Red ink, and some snow flakes in Pool Party.
There you have it! What do you think? Is this a card you might be making? It would also be fun to have the kids help make.
