3 scenic, mountain view cards including a Christmas card made using the Scenic Adventures stamp set and co-ordinating Dies from Stampin' Up!

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

Thick Basic White card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Basic White – 5½” by 3¾” – circle die cut from the upper ⅓ using the Spotlight on Nature Dies
Basic White – 4⅛” by 3⅝”
Shaded Spruce – 3” by 1¾”
Basic White – 3” by ¾” – label die cut using the Stylish Shapes Dies
Blueberry Bushel – 3” by ¼”

 

We punched out a mask from a Post It Note and used a 1” Circle Punch and added it to the upper part of the 4⅛” by 3⅝” panel of Basic White card with the 4⅛” side going up and down.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Scenic Adventures stamp set and co-ordinating Dies used to make 3 scenic, mountain view cards including a Christmas 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.

You could add it with Dimensionals, but I didn’t for this class. The whole panel was then added to the Thick Basic White card front on Dimensionals.

Using the Notes & Dotes Dies I die cut the bag, twice from scrap Friends of the Ocean dsp. I die cut 2 handles from scrap Basic White card and glued one to each of the die cut bags. I trimmed the tabs off the bottom of each die cut bag and then trimmed the bottom tabs in half. The remaining scorelines were folded and burnished and the 2 outer tabs of each bag were adhered together to close the bag. I applied glue to each of the tabs at the base of the bag positioned it against the scoreline on the inside of the card front and closed the bag to secure it in position.

I folded the two side flaps of the bag inwards and glued them down. The tab on the bottom of the die cut bag was snipped off the bottom also adhered down. The 2 white straps were then adhered to the front of the die cut bag along the line of the seam. I had die cut these on card with some adhesive sheet applied to the reverse to make this easier. I then adhered the bottom piece and the bag handle using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. The bag was then added to the card front on Dimensionals.
