Hello Elle’s Studio friends! It’s Nathalie here sharing a new set of cards I created with the December kit and a minimal number of extras. Since today is the Winter Solstice, I decided to celebrate the change of season and the return of colder weather.
Supplies | December 2022 Kit, Let it Snow Die Cuts, Twinkle Paper Stack, Cool Solids Paper Stack, Layered Card Metal Die
My first card’s main focus is a vellum window with a large embroidered snowflake. It is an overall clean and simple design, but it did take a bit of time to make. The sentiment was easy as it came directly from the Let it Snow Die Cuts!
To create the centerpiece, I chose one of the large snowflakes from the Let it Snow Die Cuts, and adhered it on vellum before using it as an embroidery template. I love the result with the silvery grey thread and the frosty-looking background.
The second card has more of a layered look, but still relies heavily on the Let it Snow Die Cuts.
For the base, I layered a blue tag from the December Kit with two papers from the Cool Solids Paper Stack. The sentiment cluster comprises die cuts from the Let it Snow Die Cuts and a navy piece from the kit.
To balance the card visually, I added interest in the upper right corner by creating a small banner combining pennants from the Let it Snow Die Cuts pack and the December Kit.
I guess I should have started by mentioning that the Let it Snow Die Cuts were one of my must-haves this month! I hope you’ll enjoy them (and the December Kit) as much as I have! It is a special release for me as it is the last one I received as a member of the design team.
Thank you all so much for your support and thank you Elle and Meghann for five fabulous years playing with the most amazing products. Happy Holidays to all!
