WOW! it's hard to believe I'm making Christmas cards already, when its almost 100° outside... But it was fun working with some of my favoriate cardstock, I love how rich in color it is, and anything you make with it looks wonderful. I cut out the leaves you see toward the back of the card from the piece of cardstock I cut to make the card base, and thought it was pretty, and couldn't throw it away. The die template that looks like a snowflake, really isn't a snowflake at all, but I thought it was a good subsutute. The only snowflake die I have has been discontinued, and I thought it best not to use it. I used my PrismaColor pencils to color my little snowman, and added layers of Nestabilities under him. This card is a "Z" fold card, and requires a 12"x 12" piece of cardstock. I love this card, and have made it many times before.

What a wonderful card! LOVE IT! Also, what a generous blog candy. I, too, can't believe it's about time to get started on those Christmas cards. It was 100 degrees here yesterday. Hard to think Christmas when it's that hot. lol

So pretty...tfs...would love to win...I'm actually beginning my Christmas cards, too. If I wait and get under a time crunch, I panic and usually make a mess of my cards....much prefer to work at a slower pace with no time constraints.
