Hello there, it is Verity here from Pretty Little Button for the Bumbleberry Design team. Creating a winter scene does always have to have winter animals in it. For those that want that winter feel with more traditional style dies, then why not try creating this cards with the gorgeous Parcel & Post Mail box - and you can get creative by customising the sentiment on the posted letter!
Written tutorial and photos for Snow and winter greetings:
Start off by creating a snowy background on Nautical Hero Hues cardstock. Here I foiled an older Spellbinders Glimmer plate (Slimline Confetti Glimmer Plate) in Prism Hot Foil but you could use another confetti glimmer plate or stencil with white pigment ink for the same look. Cut out a snow bank in white card and add this over the top, mounting the background onto a white cardbase.
Next, die-cut the mail box from the Parcel & Poste Mailbox die set out of red card, both the main body and the side piece. Add a little ink blending with Cranberry Fizz ink to add shading to the side piece before adhering it onto the main piece. Hot foil a sentiment in Gold Hot foil from the Christmas Mailbox Greetings Glimmer set and add this to the front of the box.
Die-cut a variety of elements out of Pine, Woodland, Cranberry Hero Hues cardstock as well as Satin Gold Card from Spellbinders using both the Parcel & Post Mailbox die set and Parcel & Post Decroations set. Adhere this in the flap of the letter box, allowing them to spill out.
To finish the card off, hot foil a sentiment from the Christmas Magic Glimmer Hot Foil set into white card and add this in the mailbox poking out the top.
