Bring on the Snow Day

Hey everybody! Happy Tuesday – I hope your week has started off nicely (nice and cold, perhaps?!) Bahahaha! I’m stoked to share another Keep It Simple DT inspiration project created with the Ski Resort Collection! OMGoodness, this is definitely a fun one to use for Winter-themed projects and I totally love the pink and blue color palette! I created a triple Z-fold which has quickly risen to the top of my list of all-time favorite fun folds! It’s so easy and really packs a punch! The fun part is that you can make the Z-fold strips any width you want, depending on how much of the background pattern you want to show! The instructions for this are in the Freebies section of my blog so be sure to check it out if you’d like to learn how to make it!

The card base and three Z-fold strips were cut from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock along with layering panels from coordinating papers in the 6×9 Collection Pack. It’s really fun seeing this one come to life!

I used a die from the Stitched Squares Nested Dies to cut the background for the front and added an assortment of die cuts from the Scenery, Skiers & Snowboarders and Sentiment Die Cut Pieces to build the scene. I popped the sentiment and the skier up on foam strips, and then added a small knotted piece of Rose Ribbon which completed the card front.

Crazy cat lady and crafting junkie! We care for 15 feline rescues and just added a Forkie pup to the tribe (Frenchie + Yorkie)! I’m addicted to stamping and love making cards, ATCs, and 3-D projects (especially paper shoes, paper purses and mini albums). I also dabble in mixed media, art journaling, altered art and custom jewelry. If you’re looking for me, I’ll either be in my studio or getting some kitty or puppy lovins! ;)

  1. A super fun card. I love how you’ve played with the papers and the die-cuts. That ribbon is a fantastic decoration. Thanks for joining us at A Place To Start. Hugs, María.
