An additional sentiment from the set was stamped on Lawn Fawn Chili Pepper Cardstock with clear embossing ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder. The greeting was die cut with a Nested Banners Die and adhered to the card with foam adhesive.
The snowflakes were adored with Nuvo Crystal Drops in Silver Lining. Nuvo Crystal Drops in White Blizzard were used on the santa hat pom pom and brim. Crystal Lacquer was used on the lights and bells.
For the card base, Hero Arts Palm cardstock was cut to 7" x 8 1/2" and scored in half to make a 3 1/2" x 8 1/2" card. Sentiment and the bird from the Simon Says Stamp Limited Edition Exclusive is by Tim Holtz were stamped on the inside with clear embossing ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder to finish the card.

The great thing about making this a slimline card is that the extra space provides the perfect spot for the greetings from the stamp set! I love the space between the trees for the stamped and embossed greetings.
Peacock Feathers and Chipped Sapphire Distress Inks were applied over the masked images to create the night sky.
The masks were removed and the images were colored with the following Copic Markers:
The stars were finished with Nuvo Crystal Drops in White Blizzard. The eyes were finished with a Sakura Black Pen and Signo Uniball Pen. Silver Stars were scattered throughout the background and a small heart embellishment was glued in place under the greetings.

The images were stamped and embossed on dark gray cardstock with white embossing powder before being colored in with Polychromos. Simple stenciling over the panel, heart embellishments, and mixed and matched fonts perfectly finish this card.

The flowers/buds were colored with White, Pink Carmine, and Dark Red Polychromos.
The leaves and stems were colored with White, Permanent Green Olive, and Deep Cobalt Green Polychromos.
The Simon Says Stamp Tiny Dots Stencil was stenciled over the background with white pigment ink. It's easy enough to stencil around the colored images rather than over them. I find this technique works best with a stencil that is easy to line up. Stenciling adds a great bit of interest to the background without overwhelming the design.
The panel was adhered to a white slimline card base (3 1/2" x 8 1/2") and finished with a scattering of Trinity Stamps Jelly Drop Hearts.

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").

All three cards I'm sharing today are slimline cards, short and long, measuring 3 1/2" x 8 1/2. I trimmed a piece of smooth white cardstock to 7" x 8 1/2" and scored in half for my card bases.
The background was adhered to a white slimline card base and a different color of scallop frame was adhered around the panel. The sentiment was adhered to the left side of the background and a Reverse Sentiments Strip Halloween was trimmed and popped up under the die cut greetings with foam adhesive. The bats were adhered to the right side of the card with foam adhesive.
The Ghost In A Circle was die cut using the die and a circle die for the white portion. The circle die was used to die cut Lawn Fawn Black Licorice Cardstock. The two pieces were adhered together as shown and the embellishment was finished with an orange Funfetti Heart.
The background was adhered to a white slimline card base and a different color of scallop frame was adhered around the panel. The sentiment was adhered to the left side of the background and several Reverse Sentiments Strip Halloween strips were trimmed and popped up above and under the die cut greetings with foam adhesive. The ghost was adhered on the right side of the background.

Another rectangle was die cut from smooth white cardstock and Slimline Grassy Hills were die cut from each long side with one of the new border dies. Forest Moss and Black Soot Distress Oxide Inks were used to add color to the border.
The tree, house, and boards were die cut from smooth white cardstock using the new Haunted House Dies. The following Copic Markers were used to color in the die cuts:
Tree, boards: E55, E57, E59
House: C4, C5, C6, CC8
Windows: YR30, YR31
The tree was glued directly to the background scene as shown. The house was adhered with foam adhesive. The house was colored first and then backed with foam adhesive. The windows were inlaid into the design and then colored before adding the house to the card.
The images were die cut with Boo Crew Dies and adhered to the design with foam adhesive.
Bats from the Ghostly Greetings Stamp Set and a spider from the Boo Crew Stamp Set were stamped on the background with black dye ink. A white pen was used to add the detail for the spider's face.

CLEAR EMBOSSED RESIST
This technique is going to work best with a stamp positioner tool like the MISTI.
I first put the sun rays image from the Hello Sunshine Stamp Set in the MISTI and stamped it on a 3 1/2" x 8 1/2" piece of smooth white cardstock with Simon Says Stamp Sunshine Ink. Without removing the stamp, I cleaned it really good and then stamped right over the colorful stamping with a clear embossing ink and heat embossed with clear embossing powder over the top. This "seals" in the color and will create a barrier for the stenciling I'm going to do over the top of the design.
The strip was mounted on black cardstock and adhered to a 3 1/2" x 8 1/2" slimline card base. Simple strips from a Bar-B-Cute Patterned Paper were trimmed and adhered along the edges of the design for a pop of color.
