12 Days of Holiday Crafts, Day 7: Let it Snow! Card

I never seem to make the time to craft my own holiday cards (even though cards are my thing…sigh), but this card is easy to put together and uses up scraps. Maybe if I start now, I’ll have them made for next year?

You will need :

blank card, or 8 ½” x 6” card stock, folded in half
paper scraps in white, orange, and blue
2 black buttons
snowflake paper punch
scissors
an old paint brush for glue
glue

1. Cut the snowman out of white scrap paper. I used a quarter circle shape. Then, cut out a rough carrot shape for the nose out of orange paper.
2. Glue the snowman in the corner of the card base, then glue the carrot nose and let dry.
3. Use a dot of glue for each of the button eyes.
   
4. Punch a snowflake out of light blue paper, brush on glue and dip in glitter. Allow to dry before gluing to card. (If you don’t have a paper punch, you can add dots of glue to the card base and sprinkle with glitter before adding the snowman).
5. If you used a dark card base, like the navy blue pictured, you may want to line the card with white or cream colored paper.
