Step-by-Step Card Assembly

To achieve a polished final product, you'll need to follow a few key steps.  First, cut your basecard of Moody Mauve to the dimensions of 8.5" by 5.5". Fold to 4.25" X 5.5"  Then, prepare an image area for the birds by trimming an Early Espresso matte to 3-5/8" X 4-1/8".  Overlay this with a lovely pattern from the Nests of Winter Designer Series Paper, cut to 3-1/2" X 4".  Pay attention to the direction of your design before cutting.

Next, turn your attention to the Basic White cardstock, which should be cut to 3-1/4" X 3-3/4"    This is where you will stamp the birds and branches using the Winterly Tree Tops Stamp Set.  Stamp with Tuxedo Black Memento Ink to avoid your image from running when applying watercolors pencils.  After stampin, use the Winterly Tree Tops Dies to cut out the image.  Now to give this image a professional look.

Once the bird and branch images are ready, it's time to introduce some vibrant color.  Utilize your Stampin' Up! watercolor pencil assortments from both the annual catalog and the Nests of Christmas Paper Pumpkin Kits.  Apply Blue, Pumpkin Pie, and Early Espresso pencil colors.  Also color the berries -- using Berry Burst for the Christmas card and Real Red for the Valentine card--tying them seamlessly to the color scheme for their holidays.

After coloring, use a Waterpainter to blend the colors.  Squeeze the brush against a scrap paper surface first to avoid adding excess water to your card.  This technique enhances the artistry of your design, giving the card depth and vividness.  For a finishing flourish, create a double-looped black twine bow from the Baker's Twine Essentials Pack, attaching it to the sentiment label with Glue Dots.  Lastly, mount the birds and the sentiment label using Dimensionals and Mini Dimensionals, bringing your design to life.

Conclusion
The Nest of Winter Suite Collection by Stampin' Up! with its Winterly Tree Tops Stamp Set and Dies, empowers you to create stunning cards that resonate with warmth and joy through the season.  By following these steps, you not only craft a card but also share a piece of your heart with those who receive it.  So gather your supplies, unleash your creativity, and let this holiday season be filled with heartfelt messages crafted from your very own hands.
