Create With Stamping Friends Saturday Blog Hop

Let It Snow Theme!

Welcome to our Saturday Blog Hop at Create With Stamping Friends. We’ve had snow a few times in Maine already. The first snowstorm was followed by rain, so away went the snow and this week, more snow arrived. As I write this, it looks like the snow will stay so we’ll have a white Christmas after all.

Our theme this week for our Saturday Blog Hop is Let It Snow!

I created a card that has two parts to it. A smallish card on the front that opens when you untie the ribbon and the main card base that also opens. So lots of room to write a special message to someone special this season.

The only stamping I added was from the sentiment layer. See the two snowpeople on the inside of the small card? I cut those by hand from the Snowy Scenes Designer Paper. I used the snowpeople that were partially cut on the sides of the sheet so I wouldn’t waste them!
