Inspiration: In[k]spire Me #456 (sketch)
Here is one more card I created using my Jingle All the Way collection. I'm still shocked that I vacillated on buying this collection as I've been using it so many times and I love how projects made with it turn out. My starting point for this card was the In[k]spire Me sketch. Initially, I placed my elements as the sketch was showing, but then my die-cut snowman was facing off of the card and it didn't look right. I looked at cut-aparts and stickers, but the other snowmen I had were too small, so I decided to rotate the sketch to have the snowman in the bottom left corner instead and it looked much better. I found a row of Christmas light in the chipboard pack to embellish the top and I added a ribbon and mini black sequin trim to the bottom for added texture.
For the sentiment, I stamped a "Christmas Joy" banner and embossed it in Real Red glitter powder, then used the matching dies to cut it out. I added a dab of Glossy Accents on the eyes of the snowman and a few enamel dots to finish it off. I decorated a matching envelope using stickers and ephemera, as well as little snowflakes leftover from the snowflake border punch I used on my previous card.
