Both backgrounds were created by die cutting the Slim Woodland from smooth white cardstock and coloring in the trees with E53, E55, and E57.
A solid slimline panel was inked with Mermaid Lagoon and Chipped Sapphire Distress Inks and spritzed with a Distress Sprayer for a "snowy" look.
Sentiments from the Mixed Holiday Greetings Stamp Set were stamped on the background with clear embossing ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder.
The Slim Woodland was adhered over the distress background and set aside while the images were stamped and colored.
Detail was added to the eyes with a black gel pen. Details were added to the scarves, hats, etc. with a white pen. A small heart accent finished the design.

THE BACKGROUND
A Slimline Nested Rectangles was die cut from smooth white cardstock and inked with Lawn Fawn Fish Tank, Blue Jay, and Deep Sea dye inks. Greetings from the Season's Tweetings stamp set were stamped on the card with clear embossing ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder.
The Season's Tweetings images were die cut with the coordinating dies and the branches and birds were adhered to the background panel with foam adhesive. The birdhouse and ornaments were adhered with liquid adhesive.
***hint*** Start with the adhering the bird house so that you end up with enough space. If you start at the top you might start adhering images too low and they'll cover up the greetings.
The panel was adhered to a slimline card base (measuring 3 1/2" x 8 1/2").

MASKING TIPS
A background was die cut from smooth white cardstock using a Simon Says Stamp Slimline Nested Rectangles die. Images from the Winter Fox Stamp Set were stamped on the background with Hero Arts Instes-ified Ink and stamped again on Masking Paper. The images from the masking paper were fussy cut and adhered over the images on the card base. I always start with the images that will be in the foreground first, and work my way back.
The masked scene was adhered to the center of the marquee mat and the entire thing was adhered to a white slimline card base (3 1/2" x 8 1/2").

I'm a huge fan of creating multiple cards at once, especially when I've got the stamps set up in my MISTI. The 6"x8" Snowflake Cascade Stamp Set is just one of those sets that is perfect with this technique!
The snowflake bracket image was stamped on one half of the cardstock background, the paper was flipped and the image was stamped again using clear embossing ink and heat embossed with clear embossing powder.
Each panel was adhered to a white top fold card base.
Envelope flaps were stamped and embossed to match the card.

Watch the creation of this house themed Christmas gift tags from start to finish below or click HERE to watch in HD:
These house shaped gift tags were inspired by THIS house shaped card. The small size of the Lawn Fawn Build A House Dies and Build A House Christmas Add On make them perfect for gift tags! I'm always looking for creative ways to use my card dies as gift tags and this year, I'm all about the house-themed products!
The pieces were assembled as shown. More elements were die cut and adhered back to back on the design for the finished effect on the back of the tags.
"To" and "From" sentiments from the Build A Snowman Stamp Set were stamped on the back of the house shaped tags with Lawn Fawn Lobster Ink. A greeting form the Ho Ho Postage Stamp Set was stamped on the red die cut front door with clear embossing ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder.
Nuvo Crystal Drops in White Blizzard was applied to the bows for a touch of sparkle.
Holes were punched in the top of the tags and red and white baker's twine threaded through to finish!
