Snowmen!


I am sure I have made more Christmas cards this year than I usually have by this time which is encouraging although I do need to build up my stock of other cards. For this one I used some new papers from Hobbycraft Christmas Whisper. The new Christmas collections seem slow coming out this year. I was amazed to find that MFT don't bring theirs out until October.  Anyway back to my card. I used a corner rounder punch, MFT scalloped border and Marianne square and snowflake dies, LOTV Grunge sentiment and a precoloured Little Claire topper along with some ribbon from my stash.
