Are you a fan of frosty walks in winter woods! You need this Winter Woods holiday card. It’s time for the Stamp Review Crew: Winter Woods Edition!

winter woods holiday card If this is your very first visit to one of our hops, the Stamp Review Crew is a group of international Stampin’ Up! demonstrators whose mission is to do a blog hop on the first, third and fifth Mondays of each month. Our hops are unique because each of us features the same stamp set used in a variety of ways, giving you loads of inspiration for that set. The hops are archived at the Stamp Review Crew blog. You will be able to click through each hop at any time, going directly to the posts for that hop, whenever you want.

This week we are featuring the Winter Woods set. If you are following along in order, you have just arrived from the amazing Heidi Baks. Heidi’s work is always a favorite of mine! After visiting me, you will continue to the next stop, Stesha Bloodhart.  I love her work. Be prepared to be inspired as you travel along on today’s hop!

This is such an easy card to create. The grove of trees was inked in Versamark and heat embossed with Shimmer White Stampin’ Glitter.  Continuing with the sparkly theme, the snow and pine tree were die cut from Sparkle Glimmer Paper.

OK…I won’t fib. I LOVE the Gathered Leaves dies. The leaf die cuts, when created from fall colored card stock, make the perfect focal point.  On today’s card, they are nestled on a Stitched Shapes circle die cut created from the Wood patterned designer paper found in the Come To Gather collection. Pumpkins, colored with Stampin’ Blends, complete the  scene.
