Today Linda and Nicole are sharing their designs with our Winter Wonderland collection. This collection is so fun to create holiday cards and scrap your winter memories. Let's take a look at what Linda Kretz created first.
Let it Snow card
Supplies: My Little Shoebox Winter Wonderland (Winter Folly, Gum Drop Lane, and Snowflake Valley papers), Stickers, Banners, Peppermint Stick Mini alphabet stickers, and Roll-Up Flowers. I also used white Flower Soft, and Diamond Stickles..
Linda's Tip: I created a window, pop dotted over my winter scene., created some snow with Flower Soft, and added some stickles for emphasis. This wonderful collection from My Little Shoebox lends itself to lots of fun creating Christmas cards and layouts.
What a super cute card and the accents make great faux snow too! Now some fun things from Nicole.

LET IT SNOW:
When it comes to cards it is fun to mix it up a bit so for this card I went with a 4x4 using the Snow Flake Valley paper. The beautiful detailing on the B side of Snow Flake Valley adds such a pretty touch when used as a border. I wrapped the card with bakers twine and then layered the snowman cardstock sticker with the Glittered Alphas. What I love about the 4x4's is they are quick, cute and super easy to make.

Nicole's notes:
This picture had been in my stack of "must scrap" for awhile, so when I took a closer look at Boughs of Holly I squealed a little! Avery's polka dot pajamas were her all time favorites and the whimsical colors in the Starburst, Counting Down, and Winter Folly just fit the theme for the layout perfectly! The layout needed a couple 3D elements to the page and the tiny bows of bakers twine on the cardstock sticker trees and the polkadot clouds from the diecut sheet were just what I was looking for!
Tree Ornament #1
#1 ORNAMENT: {front & back}
This is the first of 25 ornaments I created to decorate our Christmas tree this year. The ornament is simple, however the poinsietta made out of the Snow Flake Valley paper and the square flag diecut makes this ornament. I used a flower punch from EK Success and trimmed the round ends to be slightly more pointy to resemble the holiday flower. I then cut the square flag diecut in half, distressed it using Vintage Photo Distress Ink and layered it to appear as leaves. The pearls in the center were leftover from an old play dress that my daughters outgrew so it adds that sentimental touch. To create the subtle sparkle border I used glossy accents and Martha Stewarts Crystal Fine glitter.
Tree Ornament #2
#4 ORNAMENT: {front}
This is one of 25 ornaments, possibly my favorite. We have moved a lot in the past year and sadly our Christmas decorations didn't make the trip with us. Thankfully, the Winter Wonderland collection can serve as winter play paper AND Christmas themed so this year our tree will be decorated with Winter Wonderland ornaments. I cut two rectangles out of the Starburst paper then layered them to look like a gift with a removable top. The bow was made with two strips of the Boughs of Holly paper just folded on one another and secured with a Zot and decorated with a button. The Peppermint Stick Mini Alphas helped share the sentiment for blessing number 4!
Thanks for these fun projects ladies! We hope you are all having a very merry holiday season!
Have a merry creative day!
