Time of Year

One last Christmas card (for now anyway).
I saw this double z-fold card and knew I had to do it.
I really like different folds and this one is great.

I used the Thinking of You Hostess stamp set
and the This Christmas Special Designer Paper.

Swirly Scribbles Snowman

As I was flipping through Pinterest one day I came
across a snowman card made by Jessica using the Swirly Scribbles Thinlits,
so I had to give a try myself and it was perfect for my
Christmas in July Fast & Fabulous Cards Class.

I also used the Snow Places stamp set & Snow Friends framelits
(which was one of my favorite sets last year and YAY it's in the catalog again this year).
Swirly Scibbles Snowman1.  Card base — Garden Green — 4 1/4" x 11"
2.  Wild Wasabi — 4" x 5 1/4"
3.  Real Red — 3 3/4" x 5"
4.  This Christmas Specialty Designer Paper – 3 5/8" x 4 7/8"
5.  Real Red scrap — cut out banner using the Project Life Cards & Labels Framelits
I cut the banner out and then ran it through again to make the banner a little shorter.
Stamp Merry Christmas from Snow Places with Memento ink.
6. Whisper White scrap — stamp scarf from Snow Places with Real Red ink
Cut out using the Snow Friends framelits.
7.  Black scrap — cut out the top hat using the Snow Friends framelits.
8.  Whisper White — 3 1/2" x 8 1/2" — cut out all three swirlies from Swirly Scribbles thinlits.
9.  Assemble card as pictures.

Thank you Jessica for the inspiration.
