Olive Snowmen (I Love Snowmen)

Hello – and welcome.  It’s that time of year when I’m in a mad rush to get the number of Christmas cards ready that I’ll need in the next couple of weeks.  I thought I had done really well with making my card for the holidays, since I have worked on them all year, but when I updated my list of those who I would be sending to, I was horrified to discover that I was about 25 SHORT!  EEK…not what I was expecting, but that just means that the balance of my shortfall will be quick and easy cards with minimal layers and embellishments.

I have been working on a mini album which required me to cut down quite a bit of 12 X 12 kraft paper, leaving me with LOTS of small scraps.  So I decided to make some not-so-usual-sized card.  The card base measures 5.5 X 3.25 which is such a cute size, and allowed me to have the snowman extending above the top of the cards.

I scored and folded the card base, stamped my snowflakes and then spritzed it with the Fireworks spray.  I added some patterned paper along the bottom part of the card and then using a bit of I {Stick} Papers super sticky adhesive to apply the elastic ribbon along the top of the patterned paper.  I also used the same sticky stuff to apply the same elastic ribbon to the circular sentiment.

Here is a close up of the fun shimmer created by the misting of Fireworks.

 

Thanks for looking in….now, I really MUST go make more Christmas cards….later!
