Snowman Card for Paper Players

Hello, friends;

 

I've been working in different projects, tutorials, and cards for this Holiday season. I was blogging around and found out the challenge over at The Paper Players' Blog.

 

 We had to make a card or project with a snowman included.

Here is my card:

I cut the word snow using the Artiste cartridge from Close to my Heart at 1-3/4" on White Daisy CS. Adhere that piece of CS over another piece of design paper.

The snowman used is from the Flakey Friends from CTMH, too.

The embossing folder is from SU!
This is a very simple card, so you can make few in no time. Is a pretty card and perfect for either adults or kids.

The letters I have left after cutting "snow" were used to make this other card:

As you can see, everything was used and nothing was wasted.

 

Thanks for visiting and have FUN creating!
