For today’s card I used some brand new stamps from Lawn Fawn called Joy to the Woods along with the coordinating craft dies.
Although a little more time consuming than some of my other cards, I have to say I really enjoyed putting this scene together. I love it when a card can have lots of elements yet still have a clean feel to it’s design, and I think that it’s all the white space and clean lines of the images and elements that contribute to this effect for this card.
Notice the beautiful soft snowy background? It all started with a gorgeous bokeh patterned paper from the Lawn Fawn Snow Day 6×6 petite paper pack. I expanded on the effect by creating a little more dimension using my Simon Says Stamp Falling Snow stencil and my white Wendy Vecchi Embossing Paste. I then glitzed it up with some of Wow! Embossing Powder’s Clear Sparkle Embossing glitter.
In addition to the snowfall background paper I also used a couple of other patterns from the paper pack to create the frame and the banner. I LOVE all the patterns the come in the paper pack and can’t wait to use more of them!

Love to see you making cards Andrea! I am a fan of your Art Journal videos and your cards are equally creative and inspiring. Thanks for sharing!!
You make it look SOOO easy. It’s beautiful. I look forward to seeing others!!
I love the card but I have to be honest with you and tell you that watching a video that fast makes me dizzy.
Hi Elizabeth,
Sorry you found it too fast. Unfortunatley it’s always a balance trying to make sure you show what you are doing without the process taking long – which can make for a long and tedious video.
Take Care,
Andrea
Love this woodland scene created with the adorable Lawn Fawn stamps.
Sweet card! It might look simple and casual, but it’s certainly a lot of work. Thanks for the technique hints.
Nice technique!
This card is gorgeous – I love this Lawn Fawn set! Great video too! And thank you for the chance to win a free membership! Keeping my fingers crossed on this one!
I love the birch trees, such a beautiful 3D looking card
Super sweet card Andrea, this set is on my wish list!
I love birch trees, so I liked this before I ever even saw it. BUT once I did see it I liked it for the card itself, not just the subject! Really like what you did with the stencil, paste and embossing powder over the DP. It’s a subtle touch, at least in the video, but adds depth and dimension. Perhaps it’s more obvious IRL. Thanks for sharing this video and of course, I’m excited at the chance to win a 3 month subscription.n to PCL .

Love it, both the birch trees and the cardinals!
Awww such a cute card!
Super cute card! I love the tip to keep a water bucket by your side when working with embossing paste! I always just run to the sink and then I get side track, end up finishing my project later!:) Thanks for the chance to win a membership! Definitely excited about this one:)
Nice card, thanks for all the great videos.
Great fun Christmas card. Can’t wait to see more of your videos. Thanks for the chance to win a subscription.
You did a great job! That card is really cute. I don’t like cards that are too full of Christmas, too much of glitter and shine. But your card is just great.
Thanks for sharing it with us all.
I LOVE that card! Seriously, it’s perfect!
What a lovely Christmas card! I love the added texture in the background, beautiful scene!!
