Two Snowman Cards

Here are two Christmas cards I've made using the fabby Hero Arts/Sizzix Snowman stamps and dies combo set.  The first card was made using a new embossing folder - it's got snowflakes and a gorgeous brackety frame - what's not to love?!  I've been naughty this year with embossing folders, I just can't seem to resist them!  I embossed the front of the A6 card first and then embossed a piece of Pool Party CS and cut out the frame piece.  I stamped and die cut the snowman, stamping his scarf separately and trimming it.  I tore CS for snow banks, added glitter and popped up the snowman.  The 'be merry' sentiment was the perfect size for the SU! Modern label punch.  I popped that up too and added nailheads.

Here's the inside and the envelope.

For the second card, I made a side opening A6 size card from SU! Bashful Blue CS and stamped some snowflakes as a background in Bashful Blue ink.   I stamped and die cut two trees and a snowman - the front tree and the snowman are popped up.  Again I used torn white CS as a snowbank and added glitter to the torn edge and then I stamped the sentiment.  I've added nailheads to the trees and I added glitter to the centres of the background snowflakes to finish off the front.

Here's the inside and the envelope.  Another two Christmas cards to add to the box, I really do feel I may be on track this year!
