Snowman Season Card Swap

November is here and snow is coming!!!  There's nothing like the sight of snow to get the kid in me excited... much less the thought of it coming!  **wink**  Today's card was created for a card swap for my upline's team meeting last month.

I only had to make five, but I couldn't resist making an extra one to keep and share... and to create more as they were just too much fun to make!  

The layout was inspired by a RAK card that I received from Anita Masiero all the way from Australia!  Anita's card showcased the beautiful Perennial Essence Designer Series Paper and her use of a half-card layout was ingenious - making two cards out of the supplies for one card definitely makes the cardstock go further PLUS it uses more DSP!  #loveitchopit

A piece of Thick Whisper White cardstock cut in quarters makes the back for four cards.  The Let It Snow Specialty Designer Series Paper was cut to 4" x 5-1/4" for the half card backdrop.  A piece of Whisper White cardstock was scored at 4-1/4" along the short side and cut at 5-1/2" making two horizontal folding card bases.  These card bases were cut in half along the scored side thus creating the four half cards!  The stamped layers measure 2-1/2" x 3-1/2".  The snowman and sentiment were stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink while the snowflakes were stamped twice (to create the generational stamping) using Coastal Cabana.  The Hat (including the Pom-Pom), Scarf and Carrot Nose were colored with Stampin' Blends Markers along with the shading around the snowman.  As a finishing touch after adhering the layers with liquid glue, Shimmery Crystal Effects and Ice Stampin' Glitter were applied on the black snowflakes and shadings of snow!  While Whisper White Bakers Twine wrapped up the ensemble with some warm fuzzies. 

I hope that today's cards have inspired you in ways to extend your card making supplies so you can more smiles by sharing your creations with others!

Thanks for stopping by my little corner of the world!

Have a blessed day!
