Winter scene Diorama card


Hi everyone, 
Lets me begin with a warning for a photo heavy post. I would be using the new Papericious release Winter Rimes. This paper pack is just perfect for your winter projects. Its always great to send some handmade greetings to your loved ones.
I have created a Diorama card with winter theme. Diorama cards are wonderful for building 3D scene with few simple steps. There are several ways to create diorama cards. Today I want to share with you one very simple one. 
So sit back,relax and have some hot coffee.
1. Take two cardstock pcs (outer most layers)  6" x 8" and score both at 2" and and 6".
2. Take two more cardstock pcs( inner layers) 7"x 6" and score at 0.5" from both ends.
3. Diorama cards have windows and nesting dies are best to create these on the various layers of the card. Here I have used the biggest die (Memory Box stitched squares). You can use any shape to create these windows. 

4. The best way to align window openings in all the layers is to use the bigger opening as a template to position the smaller one. 


5. I  have also used  adhesive backed silver glitter paper to go around the window openings on the inner layers. 

6. Since these are great for building scenes lets start with some fussy cutting. This paper pack prints help you create a scene. 
7. After fussy cutting I have used versamark pen on the edges and used the WOW white glitter embossing powder .To give a little dimension I have used nuvo drops .

8. Add a little dimension to the top layer of the card using stencil and papericious crackle paste. The paste gives great result .
 9. Add the fussy cut images to the inner card layers as per your scene.
 10. Add two way tape on the scored edges of the two inner layers and adhere these layers to both sides of the outer blue cardstock.


  


This is how the scene looks like when all layers come together. You can just add one inner layer also.  




Hope you get inspired to try this easy 3 dimensional card. Do leave some love in the comments.

Easy and Elegant Christmas Cards using Winter Rimes

Hello Peeps!
This is Priya here from priya-n-papers. My favorite month of the year is here! December! It marks the start of winters and christmas celebrations! To get into the Christmassy mood, Papericious has introduced very beautiful and elegant paper pack called Winter Rimes. It has beautiful winter patterns and elements that will help you to whip up some awesome winter projects. To cater to both card makers and 3D project makers, the pack comes in 6x6 and 12x12 size. 
This time, I designed 4 cards and created 8 cards in total, 2 of each design. The papers are so pretty in itself and I didn't had to do much to finish up these cards. Let's take a look at each design.
Card Design 1 : Winter Birds
For this card, I highlighted the winter birds and Holly foliage designs. I stamped the sentiment directly onto pattern paper. I love how Papericious pattern papers can hold crisp stamping impressions. I added some snow effect by die cutting a white piece of cardstock with stitched snow drift dies and adhered a die cut glitter snow flake.
Here is a close up with winter bird and crisp stamping on pattern paper.

Card Design 2 :
The pack has some beautiful wooden patterns bordered with pines, feathers, berries, holly and other wintery elements. I highlighted the pattern in my second card by adding an elegant sentiment. I also did some in lay die cutting by using stitched ornament dies. I just cannot explain the beauty of this card in real. I think I am going to keep one for myself. :P
Let's a take a close look at the in laid die cut ornament.

Card Design 3 :
In card design 3, I used the beautiful snow covered lantern surrounded by winter birds. This is such a heart warming scene that signifies that a little joys of life means a lot. I finished up the card by adding stitched border and added glittered die cut sentiment.
Here is a closer look.

Card Design 4 :
In this card I tried to do something different. I made Poinsettia flowers using Poinsettia dies. I die-cut from the same paper pack and stick it on to another panel with wood background to signify wreath on a door. I hope I am able to achieve that!
Here is a close up of my Poinsettia flower.
