Christmas Stand Up Card

Hi Friends.  Have heard from a few blogging friends that weathered Hurricane Irma in Florida last week and so happy to hear that they are okay.  Praying for those who have lost everything and are trying to put their lives back together, cannot even image the stress they are going through.

I've made a Christmas Stand Up Card with some adorable snowmen.

OH NO, forgot to color his nose and rosy cheeks!

Background paper from my Stash (old)

Snowflake die - Sizzix, Tim Holtz (14 different snowflakes in the set)

Snowflake Border - Martha Stewart Punch

Candies were cut from a piece of designer paper and coated

with WOW clear Sparkley embossing powder

Card is cut from Kraft

Card is 6 x 12 inches
Folded will fit into a 5x7 envie

Scored at 2 inches, and four inches on either end

The two inch score lines are Valley folds

The four inch score lines are Mountain folds

Line up the three inch mark with the four inch score line

at the top and cut

Fold score lines and decorate.

Did you notice that the little snowman

with the mug had no rosy cheeks and his carrot

nose didn't get colored?.  I have since fixed that

but didn't want to retake the pictures!
