Hello all and a Happy New Year to you. It’s Lisa here. I don’t know about you, but I have a lot of birthday cards to make for January. I like to make seasonal cards so I’m sharing a winter birthday card with you today. It’s made using a Christmas digital stamp, but change the setting a little bit and no one will ever know. It’s a clean and simple card, suitable for batch making.

Make a card base that is 4.5 inches wide by 10 inches from Papermilldirect white hammered card. Score in the centre and you’ll have a card base that is 4.5 x 5 inches (I don’t make huge cards, you can scale the card size up if you need to). Trim some patterned paper to 3.75 inches wide by 4.75 inches wide. I’ve used this gorgeous wintry sky patterned paper from BoBunny. Adhere to the bottom of the card. You’ll have a half inch white border around the other three sides.

Print the Pink Petticoat Snowman and Sentiment and either use the print and cut feature on the Silhouette software or using a craft knife, make a snowy hill border from the white hammered card. I used the two hills from Kristen Magee’s Snowy Woods card silhouette cutting file

Glue the top hill to the card base

Add foam pads to the bottom hill and snowman section and then stick to the bottom of the card.

Using a white gel pen, add some “snow” to the sky patterned paper.

For some sparkle, add some Ranger stickles to the snowman’s hat, bobbles and the hills. Leave to dry and you card is done!
