This card creates such a cozy, snowy and peaceful scene!  Each of the houses and trees are cut from the Trimming the Town Designer Paper, one of the paper packs that are 15% off during the month of October.  You will see many more examples of cards using this paper on my Mail Something Pretty Facebook page Saturday for World Card Making Day.  This card almost makes me wish it was snowing outside.

Instructions:

1. Fold a 5-1/2” x 8-1/2” piece of Real Red cardstock in half to form card base. Burnish the fold using a Bone Folder.
2. Cut a 4” x 3” piece of Trimming the Town Designer Paper layer onto the base card.
3. Cut a 4” x 5-1/4” piece of Whisper White cardstock.  Using the Home Together Dies and the Cut & Emboss Machine, cut several “snow scapes”.    On the “snow scape” that you’d like at the bottom, stamp the sentiment using Black Memento ink.  
4. Using the Home Together Dies and the Trimming the Town Designer Paper, cut out several images from the Designer Paper.   
5. Starting at the top, start layering all the pieces together so that they create a snowy scene. Layer the bottom snow scape (with sentiment) on with Stampin’ DImensionals.
6. If desired, stamp the "smoke” stamp just above one of the chimney’s using Black Memento ink.
7. To finish, add a 4” x 5-1/4” piece of Whisper White cardstock inside the card; use to write a greeting.
