"Fresh
Snow" Scrapbook Page by Joan Gosling
Layered Punch Border
Materials
Needed
White cardstock
Green cardstock
Brown cardstock
Navy cardstock
Tree punch
Mini snowflake punch
Glitter glue
Scissors
Acid-free adhesive
Instructions
1.
Punch 4 green trees and 3 white trees from cardstock.
Freehand cut a wavy strip from brown cardstock to represent the
ground and from white to represent snow on the ground. Cut four
2 ¼” x 2 ½” rectangles from navy cardstock
for scene background.
2.
Build a scene on one of the navy rectangles by layering
one green tree on the brown ground. Build the next rectangle with
one green tree layered with a bit of white cut from the top of the
white tree punch out. Add a small strip of “snow” on
the ground with white cardstock. Continue building another scene
with the tree and adding more snow by trimming half the white tree
punch out and layering. Continue with the final scene showing most
of the tree covered in snow and the ground is white. Punch mini
snowflakes to add to the scene and add glitter glue for an icy look.
3.
Adhere the scenes progressively down the side of the
page creating a border.
This same technique can be used to create a title.
Layer paper with a wavy edge of “snow” along the bottom
and trace letters using a template. Cut the letters out and decorate
with mini snowflakes or glitter glue for ice.
