The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. I cut a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Basic White card stock and I textured it using the "Falling Snow" embossing folder. I glued it to the card base.
Next I cut the frame using the "Countryside Corners" dies. I used the third and fourth largest dies. I set them up on my card stock and used post it tape to hold them in place while I cut them from Basic White card stock. Then I took the third one and I cut another piece using Basic White card stock. Using my Blending Brush I scrubbed on some Balmy Blue ink. I should have used Pool Party because of the colors on the snowman.
That snowman, adorable snowman is from the "Joyful Images" printed and precut images. I thought the set was so cute and it was a great price for all of the pieces you get. I plan on making more cards using them. But for today I used the snowman one. He's so cute and I'm very partial to snowmen.
I took that frame I made and added Dimensionals behind it and set it on top of the Balmy Blue piece I colored. I didn't stick it on top, I just set it there so I could see where the words would go. The words are from the "Sophisticated Sled" bundle and they were stamped using black Memento ink.
Once the words were stamped I set the frame in place. Then the snowman was added using glue on one side and a few Dimensionals on the other side. I glued this piece to the front of the card.
I glued on a bunch of snowflakes from the "White Loose Snowflakes" container. They are SO darn cute too. I think they will be fun to use them in a shaker card. I'll have to try that sometime soon.
This was a very fun card to make. I glued each snowflake in place which was the only thing that took the most time but it was SO worth it.
Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's Christmas card,
Wanda
