Crafting a Scene ...

GOOD Morning Blog Friends!
WOW!  Can you believe we are in the last few days of 2013!!  
I'd like to wish everyone a very joyful, happy, healthy & prosperous 2014!!

** Proud to announce that this card was chosen 
as Top 3 at Craft A Scene! **

Back in early December I played along in the Craft A Scene challenge which is 
Winter Scene (option: Tri Shutter Fold).  Since I was rushed for time, I simply entered a winter scene A-6 card.  Today, I'd like to play along again but this time I've made my card an A2 Tri Shutter fold creation.


I really love this fold and actually this is the first time I've created a Tri Shutter card and NOT cut EACH individual decorative panel.  Instead, I've cut a full panel that is a little smaller then the card base.  Next, I created my scene ... adhered it to the base card and rescored/cut.  Viola!  The SAME but a little DIFFERENT!

Here are the measurements for this A2 size Tri Shutter card:
(which turns out to be a little smaller than the A2 [5 1/2"x3 1/2"])
 I will share a true A2 (5 1/2" x 4 1/4")Tri Shutter card with you later in the day.

CUT your base card 5 1/2" x 10 1/2"
SCORE at 1 3/4", 3 1/2", 7" and 8 3/4"
CUT SLITS 1-1/2" from each side between the end scores.

For my 'scene' panel, I've cut the medium blue paper 5 1/4" x 10 1/4".
First I stamped my Inkadinado snowflakes using white craft ink ... let dry ... then created my wintery scene using:
 Stampscapes
Cabin with Fence - 144F
Pin Row - 150E
Rocky Peaks - 188F

The sentiment used is from the SU 'Home for Christmas' stamp set and reads:
Though far and wide
on earth we roam,
at Christmastime
our hearts come home.
I thought this was such an appropriate sentiment for this log cabin in the woods scene.

The deer on the left is a die by Cottage Cutz - Winter Wonderland Deer
The deer on the right is a die by Impression Obession - DIE 117C

I added a little color to the trees and the cabin with my Spectrum Noir alcohol markers.

There are FOUR more days left on the challenge ... why not give it a try!
I'll be back later in the day with that other Tri-Shutter Scene card creation I mentioned earlier in this post.

A few additional challenges:
Challenges 4 Everybody - Anything Goes
Christmas Card Challenge - Anything Goes
Hobby Cutz Challenge - Anything Goes
Pile It On Challenge - P is for ___  (Pine Trees)
That Craft Place - Anything Goes

Till then ... happy day, happy crafting and God Bless!
As always . . .
