How to

First I cut the shape with the cutting die “Sewn rectangles” using the largest one available.

Next, I cut the hilly neighborhood. Subsequently, I started to use the ink to create the sky. After that, I used the snowfall stencil to create the snow with the texture white paste.

In the meantime, I printed the bear, the deer and the penguins with the ice. Once printed, I started coloring them with alcohol markers.

Once the molds were colored, I cut them with the matching cutting dies.

Then I printed the writing “Wishing you all the wonder and magic of Christmas” from the Hero arts stamp.

In the final stage I assembled the card putting in pop-up the two penguins and the deer, while the ice and the bear are glued to the card.

I completed the postcard with a round stamp on the back saying “Handmade with ”.
