Baby, its cold outside

Having unearthed my snowman stamp for Bah! Humbug!, I realised it was perfect for the jingle belles challenge this week to use scarf, hat, mittens etc.

I made another card using the snowman stamp but made it a bit more frosty with crystal glitter card.

I used one of my old favourites - swiss dots - to emboss the background paper to give a snowy effect.

I layered both the image and the embossed background onto silver mirriboard mats and added a strip of silver gift ribbon.

The snowflake is die cut using a Marianne Creatables die.


If I keep going at this rate, I will have more than enough cards to take all of December off.

Take care and keep warm,

  2. I adore that glittery background ... taking December back was our whole plan (not to mention that we'll be the group getting our cards mailed out early, so friends will have the entire month to enjoy them) ... thanks for joining our jingle belles fun.
