November 2021 Paper Pumpkin Alternatives

 Hello and welcome back! I've been so focused on Christmas cards that I've gotten behind on birthday cards again. I found some great Paper Pumpkin alternatives on Facebook, so I made one for Christmas and one for belated winter birthdays.

I CASEd this card from Vy Tran. Her ideas are so creative! I haven't made a pop-up card in a long time!

I got the idea for this belated birthday card from a couple of demonstrators. Tracy Elsom suggested outlining the snowman with a black pen to give him some definition. And Laura's Craft Closet had a card using the cute little wobbles to make a bobblehead snowman! 

I used a mask with some Shimmery White Embossing Paste to create the snowflake background. Because he's so big, I had to trim the snowman a bit to fit the card front.

Thanks for stopping by, and happy stamping!
