Happy New Year

I promise that I know it is still October.  But I couldn't resist taking a few moments to work on a wintry themed card.  The forecast here calls for flurries in a few days.  And even though I dread the months of cold weather and shorter days...  I do enjoy working on a snowy card.  Unless, I have to tromp through inches of snow to get to my car...  and drive out on slippery roads at 5:00 a.m.  So this is the best of both worlds...  not quite winter but creating dreamy winter themed cards...  **sigh**

This time, I pulled out a few items from the October release including the Card Greetings stamp set and Ice Skate Die.

  Step-by-step recipe 

1.  4.25 x 11 inch white card stock base; scored and folded at 5.5 inches
2.  White Card Stock - Snowflake Sky Die (base layer and snowflake background)
3.  Pink Card Stock - Ovals Die (mat) 
4.  White CS - Sentiment Panel (Card Greetings in Berry Burst Ink) die cut with Pierced Ovals Die
5.  Pink, Brown, White CS & Silver Poster Board (layered skates) NEW Ice Skate Die
6.  Edges of Skates trimmed with Glossy Accents and Polar White Flower Soft
7.  White Card Stock - Dimensional Snowflakes (with foam adhesive) Snow Crystals Die

And the items from Our Daily Bread Designs' October release...

and a few old favorites...
