Today I have used the Snowing Cupcakes digital stamp from Imagine That Digistamp, one of our generous sponsors for this challenge, to make fun Christmas card.

I opened the image in Silhouette Studio and decided to make a round easel card.  I started by drawing a circle, duplicated it a couple of times, aligned two, welded them together so that I had a round card base and a round panel to go on the top.  Next I sized the cute snowman image panel to fit on the front panel, along with several matting layers.  I duplicated the largest matting layer so that I had a panel to mat the inside of the card.  I sized the sentiment, making it large to wedge the card open.
I printed the image panel on X-Press It blending card, heat set, cut with the Cameo then coloured with Copic markers.  I cut the card base an matting panels with the Cameo.  I printed the sentiment, cut manually then added a matting layer, trimming to 1/16" with my Perfect Layers ruler.
I scored the top of the card base along the join and at 2 1/12" to make the top and easel folds.  I adhered the image panel and matting layers to the front panel then added the orange mini pom pom trim.  I adhered the front panel to the bottom half of the front of the card base (for the easel fold).  I trimmed off the top 1/8" of the matting panel for the inside of the card then adhered it in place.  The sentiment panel was popped in place with foam squares, giving a ledge for the front panel to tuck behind when the card is open.

The mini orange pom poms add a touch of fun dimension.

The card is so bright and cheery and had great dimension when open.

Although this is a fancy fold card, it goes flat for mailing
and it can also be displayed as a traditional top folding card too.

I had so much fun with this image that I made two cards, the second card is coloured differently and is much more traditional with soft blue and fluffy white trim.  You can read all about it HERE or click on the image below.
