Assembly:   

Fold card base on score lines to form the Z-fold, then use multipurpose glue or snail the smaller half together.

 

 

Emboss the 4″x 2 1/2″ piece of Whisper White cardstock with the Swirls and Curls embossing folder and snail onto the left side of the card base.

*NOTE–Complete the inside of the card before finishing the card front.

 

Inside:

Emboss the 5 1/4″ x 4″ piece of Whisper White cardstock with the Swirls and Curls embossing folder and snail to the inside of the card.

Use Coastal Cabana ink to stamp the greeting and snowflakes from the Snowman Season stamp set onto the 3 1/2″ x 2 3/4″ piece of Whisper White cardstock, then snail to the 3 3/4″ x 3″ piece of Coastal Cabana cardstock. Carefully snail this piece to the center of the inside of the card.

 

 

Finish the card front as follows:

Snail the Designer Paper to the remaining piece of Coastal Cabana cardstock. Apply glue or snail to the left side of this piece. Close the card and align this piece with the inside stamped piece, then adhere to the card front.

 

 

Using Memento ink, stamp the small snowman from the Snowman Season stamp set to the 2 3/4″ square piece of Whisper White cardstock.

Color the carrot nose with the Dark Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blends marker. Shade the snowman and the ground snow with  the Light Pool Party Stampin’ Blends marker.

Crop this piece with the third largest circle from the Stitched Shapes dies. Use dimensionals to attach to the card front.

Using the snowflake dies from the Frosted Frames dies, crop the snowflakes from a scrap of Whisper White cardstock and glue to the card front. See photo for placement. Place a small rhinestone on the center of each snowflake.

 

 

Apply a small amount of glue to the snowflakes and ground under the snowman. Sprinkle with the Ice Glitter and shake off excess. 

 

Envelope:

Use Coastal Cabana ink to stamp the snowflakes from the Snowman Season stamp set onto the lower left corner of the envelope.

 

 

Hope you enjoy making this card. It’s sure to bring a smile to the special someone who receives it!
