The Joy of Winter 8x8 Layout by Amy Voorthuis

Good morning everyone.

It's my turn again on the blog today and this week I would like to show you another 8x8 layout with a whole bunch of dies that I really love. For this layout I used the pretty new "Home for the Holidays"collection by Maja Design. It has such beautiful colors in it. This time I used the colors light blue, red & cream.

The Joy of Winter:

I used a picture of myself a couple of years ago when there was snow for the last time.....I love snow but I don't like it being so cold lol. I used the CABD - 62 - Feathers {set of 4} as something extra to add to my flower clusters. I think it gives it such a amazing effect to not only use leaves.
Let's have a closer look:

I added the B481 - Joy to the World Wreath on my picture and cut the word Joy out of it to use in my title, then I used two keys in my upper flower cluster to give it a little extra.

In the end I added some glitter snow on the wreath and flowers to finish my layout.

B481 - Joy to the World Wreath

B635 - Snowflake Set 2

DL112 - Exotic Butterfly small

B575 - Winter {set of 2}

Seasonal Greetings

Happy Tuesday everyone! leslierahye here With a seasonal holiday card using some of my favorite elements! Even though I live in a VERY WARM state, snowflakes are one of my favorite design elements for winter. For this card I used the Snowflake Wonder Doily along with Snowflowers sets and the Snowflakes plate. The elegant Fancy Deer paired with some shiny florals and bling. Below is a brief tutorial with all the tips.

Begin by cutting the Snowflake Wonder Doily without the center die out of Kraft and mist with an opaque white mist. I masked the center of the doily with a square.

Once I was happy with the look of the outer of the doily, I misted lightly from high so that it looked like a light misting of snow.

I then returned my mask to the doily to mist with a blue-hued mica mist. I heat set this mist to hold the colors in place.

I placed a red square behind the doily to coordinate with the red flowers that will be placed on the card and to help the doily to pop off the card. I then layered on snowflakes and a Fancy Deer with antlers--to add extra sparkle the white pieces were misted with a Pearl white mist. This focal square was place on the top two-thirds of the card.

I then began layering my florals on top of the mini flourish band. I built the flowers and added beads to the centers with a clear lacquer. The petals of the leaves and flowers were also painted with the lacquer to add shine [see last photo for the full effect]

Bling was added to several snowflake centers to add more sparkle.

Happy Saturday, today I have a wintery layout to show you which I made with one of BoBunny's new collections. I wanted to used my new snowflakes dies so badly! I'm very happy how it turned out. I love wintertime very much do you? If it snows it gives such a serene peace, I love the sound of snow breaking underneath my boots. Well what's not to love, maybe the rain part lol. My boy on a snowy day

I did some mixed media on the background of my paper and if you look closely you see some fake snow on my blue flowers.
