Spirited Snowmen... in the Snow is Glistening!

Another perfect merging of 2 stamp sets... well you can't have snow"men" without a bit of snow!

First up .. Snow is Glistening for the snowflake-y border up above... in Pool Party Shimmer Paint...  mixed by myself as described here... and still going strong!! Perfect for this job!

My favourite Spirited Snowmen couple...

Set on a couple of hand torn snow banks,,,torn edge sponged in Pool Party and Dazzling Diamonds Stampin Glitter -ed all over!!

And finished off with a Smoky Slate moon... and Smoky Slate and Real Red houses from the Hearts Come Home set ... so 3 stamp sets actually!!!

And this isn't any Fancy Fold Friday post... as this card is a Notecard & Envelope! Available off the shelf!

Spirited Snowmen in the Snow...

Just sharing the slightly tweaked version of Joanne's card made by my ladies in classes this week...

As the colours had to change based on what I already had out...

And I used the lovely sentiment from the Spirited Snowmen set...

The "snow banks" are just hand torn pieces of Thin Whisper White sponged along the edge with Pool Party ink... and then Tombow and Dazzling Diamonds Stampin Glitter added to finish... with more glitter being added to the trees too...

And you can actually get away with less white card for those hand torn snowbanks... but I cut the panel the same size as the panel for stamping and sponging the night sky for 2 reasons...
(1) gave my ladies another bank if needed in an emergency (though only one lady re-did a bank as she wasn't happy with one)
(2) easier to prep that way!

Lovey Dovey Snowmen Couple In the Woods!

Had to be done whilst the Spirited Snowman were out and I was demonstrating another Bridge U Fold card in classes this week...

Thanks to the lovely and talented Joanna Wragg for some brilliant inspiration... but more on that another day!

Spirited Snowmen comes in both Wood Mount and Clear Mount... and I am loving them!!! Who would have thought...  

Used with In the Woods dies for those "spindly trees" to the left and right...  both cut at the same time... which is a real treat to be able to do... then a sprinkling of Stampin Glitter to finish them off... 

Which co-ordinate with the lovely Winter Woods stamps that I have been using a lot... that also come in clear mount or wood mount...

Bridge U Fold Card tutorial here... And yes the card does fold totally flat to go in an envelope...

Really do think this must still be favourite card fold ever!! In all its versions...
