DEER IN A CLEARING

Do you love white-on-white cards as much as I do? Elegance plus.

While I love the coordinating stamp set, Grassy Grove, I was completely smitten by the die set that matches the stamps, Grove. I have been a nature girl forever, so this bundle was right up my alley.

For this white-on-white card, I used only the dies, and none of  the stamps. 

The precious fawn die that came in the set was perfect for the woodland setting. I think he is enjoying the first gentle snow of winter. Perhaps even HIS first snow!

To create the look of softly falling snow, I embossed the background piece with retired embossing folder. 

Stampin' Dimensionals gave the card the 3D look.

Here's a tutorial on how to make a card like this:

SUPPLIES:

White cardstock

Die Cutting/Embossing Machine

Grove dies (page 163, Annual Catalog)

Stampin' Dimensionals

Snowfall embossing folder

DIRECTIONS:

Fold a 4" x 11" piece of white cardstock in half, creasing it well with a bone folder.

Cut a piece of white cardstock to measure 3 3/4" x 5 1/4". Emboss it with the retired falling snow embossing folder. Adhere this onto the white card base.

Cut another piece of white cardstock to 3 3/4" x 5 1/4". Using the woodland clearing die from the Grove Dies, cut the scene from this piece of cardstock. Add this over the snowfall piece with Stampin' Dimensionals. I used quite a few of the Mini Stampin' Dimensionals.

Using the small deer die from the Grove Dies, cut one of him from white cardstock. Use a bit of Stampin' Dimensional to add him to the scene.
