Welcome to the Simon Says Stamp Sending Cheer Blog Hop Day #2. We are celebrating the SENDING CHEER RELEASE which you can view HERE
In today’s cardmaking video, I’m pairing the Joyful Snowman die with the beautiful Wild Berry Vines 3D embossing folder to create a vintage masculine Christmas card. Rich colors, texture, and distressed details give this little snowman plenty of old-fashioned charm- perfect for a couple of single male friends on our Christmas card list!
This is also Video #1 in my new YouTube Series, Christmas Card Magic! Over the next six weeks, I’ll share fun, easy holiday card ideas to help you build your stash and mail those cards on time, LOL!
