Instructions

1. First you cover the entire Whisper White cardstock with Sky Blue using the Brayer tool.
2. Then roll the Brayer tool in Kiwi Kiss and add a little bit of green to the background as well.
3. Then place the Carousel Note towards the left side of the card where you desire.
4. Then, use Close to Cocoa on a background stamp, I used French Script. And stamp it on the paper....where the Carousel Note is "masking" a good portion of the card (the background will not appear there).
5. Then, with the mask still in place, use Close to Cocoa and sponge around the edges of the Carousel Note.
6. Then I lifted the Carousel Note (no more mask), and stamped Baroque Motif's large swirl in Chocolate Chip ink. Also added a few of the small flowers in the set.
7. In Kiwi Kiss stamped the horizontal layout of trees from Lovely as a Tree along the bottom of the card front.
8. Then stamped the large tree in Kiwi Kiss (see image above for placement).
9. Then again stamped the large tree in Old Olive CRAFT ink. Cover with Clear Embossing Powder and heat.
10. I then stamped "Christmas" in Chocolate Chip CRAFT ink. Cover with Clear Embossing Powder and heat.
11. Then, using the small oval punch, punch a scrap piece of Whisper White. Use the brayer tool with Sky Blue and Kiwi Kiss as described above.
12. Stamp "Merry" in Chocolate Chip CRAFT ink. Cover with Clear Embossing Powder and heat. Then adhere to large oval (punched in Chocolate Chip cardstock/scrap).
13. Adhere greeting to card front using Stampin' Dimensionals.
14. Add gold ink to desired locations - I added it to the "Merry" greeting, towards the top corner, towards the bottom left corner as well.
15. Wrap sheer ribbon around the card front and tie in a knot.
16. Adhere to card using SNAIL adhesive.
17. You're done :)

Happy stampin' and thanks for visiting!

• Basic Black or Staz-on Black

• Glossy White
• Kiwi Kiss
• Pacific Point

• Brayer Tool
• Dazzling Diamonds
• Two-way Glue Pen
• Stampin' Write Markers

• A Crayon

• Stamp "Let it Snow" stamp in Basic Black on the Glossy White paper. I have used Staz-on Black as well in the past.
• Using a crayon, color in the word/letters of "SNOW" and the snowman's face.
• Then, roll the brayer tool in Sky Blue and roll over the glossy paper.
• Then, roll the brayer tool in Kiwi Kiss and roll over the glossy paper.
• Then, roll the brayer tool in Pacific Point (then roll several times on paper to lighten the color) and roll over the glossy paper more towards the outside.
• Then use a napkin to rub off the crayon.
• Color with marker as desired on the snowman's hat, and add glitter where desired (I glittered the hat).
• With the Kiwi Kiss cardstock panel in place, stamp some snowflakes from the Snow Swirled set in Kiwi Kiss as well as Pacific Point. Some snowflakes will over lap on the glossy paper edges, some will be completely on the glossy panel, others completely on the Pacific Point cardstock.
• Now flip over the Kiwi Kiss paper. Adhere the glossy paper to it. Using two-way glue spot where you want glitter on the snowflakes.
• Then adhere it to the Pacific Point card front with dimensionals
