If you miss out on it, Emma will have it available for purchase in her store on Mon. Jan 20th!


So, here again we have another great release from Emma. I'm sad I didn't get back on MCT Design Team, but Emma has invited me to guest design on this release.

So here is my project I made.



I stamped the cute little snowman onto patterned paper and cut out by hand. Same with the hat and scarf. 
I then stamped the snowman again onto the white background so I knew where to place him, plus his arms could not be cut out. I then stamped the arms so they would show when I attached the element. I hand cut two pieces of white to look like snow drifts and inked the edges a bit with a very light blue ink. Also stamped the snow falling in the background. 

I added some foam tape to the back and attached the snowman into place. I stamped the sentiment and then layered this piece onto some blue cardstock. 

For the card base I used the 3x3 Trifold Card Die. However, I folded it in half instead. Then, I cut it again in the dotted paper and attached it up a bit from the white edge and trimmed it off at the top, right at the fold. Then I wrapped some hemp cord around and tied into a small bow. I then added the element to the front of the card.


For the snowflake, I cut it out six times and glued them all together to get  more of a chipboard feel to it. I covered the front of it with Wink of Stella clear glitter brush, which gave it a nice sparkle. I glued it to the edge of the element. I did the same thing for the snowflake on the envelope. 

I measured my card and use my envelope punch board from We Are Memory Keepers. I found the coordinating size and followed the directions for making an envelope. For the tag on the front, I stamped my sentiment, and hand cut the end into a flag. I glued it down and added the snowflake to the end. This card measures approximately 3 x 4.

Here's the products I used in this project.
