Scenic Adventures Classes

Today I am sharing the cards made for my September 2025 classes using the Scenic Adventures stamp set and dies. For my September classes I always try to sneak in a Christmas card design – some of my ladies think this is too early!

Colours used to make these cards are:

 

Window Card

Using a Blending Brush, we inked the upper ⅔’s of the Basic White panel with lightly applied Blueberry Bushel ink. Using the same technique and a different Blending Brush we added Smoky Slate ink to the bottom ⅓ of the panel and the mask was removed. I used the ‘water image stamp to add texture to the ground with 2nd generation Smoky Slate ink.

Using a Blending Brush, I added a little Cloud Cover ink to the ‘ground’ and stamped the deer with Early Espresso ink. Snowflakes were stamped in Cloud Cover ink before the decorated panel was glued to the square of Misty Moonlight card. This piece was then added to the card front on Dimensionals.

The sentiment, from the Ornamental Christmas stamp set was partially inked with Misty Moonlight ink and stamped onto the small piece of Basic White card. I only wanted the words ‘peace & joy’ so masked off the remaining words. The stamped piece was then tucked under the raised panel.

Using the Perennial Postage Dies I die cut a rectangle from the 4¾” by 3” piece of Basic White card. I wanted the rectangle to be narrower so die cut it twice to make it smaller.

I used a Blending Brush and the torn edge of some printer paper to add some snowbanks to the bottom of the rectangle. A punched Post It Note 1” Circle was added to the die cut rectangle and Misty Moonlight ink was brushed on to create the ‘sky’. The Post It Note mask was then removed.

The sentiment, from the Bauble Blooms stamp set was stamped in Versamark ink onto the strip of Misty Moonlight card. I covered it was Silver Embossing Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. I tucked the piece under the bottom edge of the decorated piece on the card front.

A ribbon bow and a trio of silver sequins completed the card.
