Snowman Shaped Card

Today I'm sharing the 11th edition to my monthly series "Shaped Cards". I used the Snowman Fold-Its which is from the Stamps of Life. I've had it for many years, so I don't know if it is still available but I do know they have a LOT of Fold-Its dies available and also a monthly club if you love making shaped cards. 

For this one I cut the base twice from white cardstock and scored a horizontal line about 1/2" down from the top hat on the back piece. Adding adhesive ABOVE that score line gave me a card that opens but also stands nicely for display.  I just attached the front and back pieces together above that score line and the card base was done. The layers for the body were cut from white pearl cardstock and I added Wink of Stella to the coal pieces for a little more shimmer.

I positioned the arms so the card would fit in the envelope and added some punched snowflakes along with one mirrored heart sequin.

I stamped a sentiment inside along with a few snowflakes.

Having been asked how many cards I make I thought it would be fun to keep track this year. Many of my posts include more than a single card or project and below is my tally.
