Inspiration!

The cover of this Better Homes and Gardens magazine was my inspiration for my next card. I loved the colors and the cute whimsical look of the snowman and bird.

I used my Joys of the Season cartridge for the snowman and "peace"; and my Cherry Limeaid cartridge for the bird.

I had to cut the arm off the snowman so I could glue it in the place I wanted. I also had to cut the snowman at 8 1/2 inches in order to get him big enough to look right. The bird and phrase were both cut at 1 inch.

Snowman Christmas Card

Yet another Christmas card!! I loved this one. The only thing stamped here is the Merry Christmas. I saw this snowman paper at our local scrapbooking store yesterday and just had to get it. The snowman print is on one side and the stripes are on the other.

I used SU's ticket punch to make the "merry" ticket and the tab punch to make the "Christmas" bit. I'm still not great at sewing cards but I'm getting there!

Snowman Card

This is my latest Christmas card. I used chocolate chip, close to cocoa and creamy caramel paper. I had to use 4 different stamp sets in order to get a big snowflake variety.

All of the snowflakes in the background were embossed using a versamark pad and clear embossing poweder.

The ribbon is the new Taffeta ribbon from Stampin' Up!. It is wonderful ribbon to work with. I love it!!
