I tend to hibernate in the winter especially in January and February. I live on the edge of a snow belt so the weather is often snowing and blowing. So, my social life is quieter but I still love to let my friends know I am thinking about them and love to send a card once and awhile so I am adding to my thinking of you, just because stash with a card featuring "Snow Buddies" from High Hopes Rubber Stamps.
I stamped on alcohol marker friendly paper, coloured these cuties with Copic markers and cut them out using a Peekaboo rectangle die. This was the first time using this die so I didn't realize it cut the middle like it does so I cut a matching card stock frame and set the stamp in the middle - a happy accident I think.
I wanted to do something a little different with my pre made 5.5" x 5.5" base so after folding it in half, I scored one side at the half way mark to form a "Z" shape. I wasn't totally happy with how it "sat" so after adding some patterned paper from My Minds Eye, inking the paper edges and adding ribbon, I glued down the top flap for a fun, different card style. I added some sparkly icicles to help set the "outdoor" feel to the card and added a piece of white card stock on the inside to add a hand written note.
I stamped the sentiment, added it to card stock and added enamel dots finish off my card.
