Peek-a-Boo Snowy!

This is a special fold card that comes with a surprise.  It is a peek-a-boo card and it is fun to make.  I used the new Digital Delights Snowy Set and I followed the tutorial by Norma at From My Craft Room.

This is what the front of the card looks like when it is flat.

I used the Snowy Set topper and BossKutz poinsettia to decorate the front of the card.  The sentiment is also part of the Snowy Set.

This is the same front card standing up.
You can begin to see that there might be something different about this card.

As I start to open the card you can see that something is changing.

The sentiment on the inside is from the Naughty or Nice sentiment set. 

Then when the card is fully opened you see a different image.

Don't you just love it?  This new Snowy Set is perfect for this style of card.  I used the pre-colored version but you can also get it uncolored.

Wise Men Still Seek Him - Even the Snow Type!

Making a holiday card with non-traditional colors is tougher than it seems.  This is what we are trying to do over at Love to Create with MelJens images.

For my card I used Meljens Christmas Star Snowman.  I tried to add ribbons, lace and such but nothing I tried looked right.  So I ended up with something a little different for me - CAS.

I did add a little Stickles to the hat on the rim and the pom-pom.
