Happy Friday Memory Box friends-
Today I decided to make a pretty easy Christmas card as I have a few holiday classes coming up this month and I need to *try* and keep things simple. Soon it will be Thanksgiving and then Christmas. Wow its time to get busy making our holiday cards and not wait until mid December. Every year I say I am going to get my cards made early so I don't feel so much stress before the holidays. How about you? Are you an early bird or last minute cardmaker??
OK back to the card!! I really love the Dewfrost paper collection as I'm fond of blue and chocolate!! LOL. The paper works really well with the Snowy Eve clear stamp set. I hope your week has been productive and you have something fun planned for the weekend. Our weather forecast here in Minnesota is for unusually warm temperatures 58-62 degrees starting today. Woo hoo. I'll take it because soon it will be snow and bitter cold weather!! I hope to get outside a bit and clean up my deck and garage before winter. Thanks for stopping by and the card looks a lot better than the picture shows. It has a vintage feel to it and I hope you enjoy it. I loved making it!! Tami :D'

1/16" round paper punch or paper piercer to punch small hole
White paper cut to 4 x 5 1/4"

Card Directions:
Adhere white paper to Mocha notecard. Stamp five snowflakes from Snowy Eve clear set (CL142) using Sepia ink. I used a white Souffle pen on the background paper. If you look closely there are little white specks on the paper so I wanted to emphasis them and make them look like snow. This was accomplished using the white Souffle pen. Edge sides of Dewfrost paper with Chestnut Roan chalk ink. Stamp Sentiment (B1166) on a scrap of Dewfrost paper in Vintage Sepia ink and edge sides with Chestnut Roan ink. Layer sentiment to a scrap of Mocha paper and add glitter accents to edges of blue paper. Attach designer paper to white paper and adhere brown ribbon on paper using mini glue dots. Punch a small hole in the sentiment and tie tag onto ribbon and make a bow. I placed a couple dimensional dots behind tag and double knottted the white thread ends to prevent fraying. Add a Frost Blue pearl to the middle of each brown stamped snowflake and one Sparkling Snowflake to the middle of a large snowflake printed on the paper as shown. Ta da another card!!
