Today’s project is a peaceful, snowy evening at home type card.  The best part is that it is really quick and easy to create.

 

 

Paper

The star of this card is the beautiful Peaceful Place Designer Series Paper.  There is no stamping on the front of the card.  I could see no reason to hide any of that gorgeous scenery in the DSP.  You cannot see it very well, but there are some silver star/snowflakes in the paper.  That is why I added the Silver Simply Elegant Trim .

This is a Gate Fold card with the scenery added to just the left side.  Again, it is difficult to see, but the white side pieces are embossed using the Merry Melody Embossing Folder.  I pulled Smoky Slate, with a layer of Basic Black under the embossed White for the card colors.

Stamps

The Peaceful Place Designer Series Paper pairs perfectly with the Peaceful Cabin Stamp Set.  There are matching dies in the Peaceful Bundle, but they were not needed on this card.  As I mentioned above, I did not do any stamping on the front of the card.  But you can see where I added the trees to the envelope.  I try not to send naked envelopes!!  The inside of the card is stamped with those trees plus a sentiment from the stamp set.
