Today I have used the Singing Snowmen digital stamp from Hetty Clare, one of our generous sponsors for this challenge, to make a Christmas card filled with fancy folds.

I started with a cut file for a centre step card with a gift card holder inside.  I opened the file and image in Silhouette Studio, sized the image panel to fit, added a sentiment, printed it on X-Press It blending card, heat set then coloured with Copic markers.  The shading for the snowmen and snow is a combination of C00 + BG0000 + "0", full details are listed below.

I cut the card elements with my Silhouette Cameo, scored the folds and adhered the layers to assemble the card.  Next came bundles of die cutting, so that I had plenty of assorted white snowflakes ready to be layered on black snowflakes.  I adhered the black and white snowflakes together then adhered them to the card using a combination of liquid adhesive and foam dots.

The finished card is 5" x 7" when folded flat.



The card looks pretty from the front as well as the sides
and it folds flat for mailing.



When you open the card, there is a section to insert a gift card and write you Christmas message.

NOW it's YOUR turn!

I hope that I have inspired you to get creative
and look forward to seeing your projects fill the gallery for
