Peek-a-boo Snowman Card

Hi, there!
This is a friendly, happy card, sure to bring a smile to anyone who receives it. You can substitute all kinds of images for different ideas, too.
When you pull on the 'wings' of the card, the big snowy tree splits in half and exposes the entire snowman, the sky, and glittered snow all over. Then when you slide the wings back towards the card, the tree halves come back together to hide Mr, Snowman!!! Nifty neato, huh?

The above picture shows the snowman partly shown 

(I couldn't take the picture and pull on the wings to open it more)

This picture is hokey, I know, but I am by myself at the moment and have no

one to help me take the picture and hold the card closed, so.. maybe

I should have used some clothe pins?

But you get the idea! The snowy fir tree covers Mr Snowman when the card is closed :)

Thank you so much for looking!

Night Snow at the Cabin

Aloha!

I wanted to try using the used, dryer sheet glitter method.

Technique:

First I stamped and colored/sponged the image. Then I took a used dryer sheet (you may find that yours needs a tiny bit of ironing first - mine did), cut it down with scissors just a bit larger than the image, sprayed the dryer sheet with adhesive, laid this carefully over the image and smoothed it out. Fold the excess behind the layer of cardstock (you need to cut part of the bulky corner dryer sheet off for the cardstock layer to lay flat). Then I poured glitter over the adhesive covered image (use a piece of clean paper to catch the excess glitter and pour it back into your container). And then I was pretty much done. Looks like a lot more work, huh?

PS  This is IMPORTANT -- use throw away scratch paper (and preferably disposable gloves) when spraying the adhesive and smoothing the sticky dryer sheet over the image/cardstock -- trust me, the splat mat thingeys and your hands will get all goopy sticky so it's better to prevent the mess.

A longer card

Aloha,
Recently I've been wanting to stretch out the usual A2 size card, so using a longer, narrow stamp, this is what I came up with. Used light water colors and a bit of glitter pen to highlight the waves as well as the lighthouse, then added a strip of Washi tape and some aqua baker's twine with 2 crystals to finish.

Challenges:

• There She Goes Again Stamps #180
• Through the Craft Room Door #43
