Winter Wishes Snowman Card- No Cameo? No problem!

Hi Everyone,

Yesterday, I posted a brand new StampTV Video featuring one of our new Stamp Sets duos, Snowman Wishes and the new Patterned Paper Pack, Winter Whimsy.

 

To watch the video, click here: Winter Wishes Card Project

The above card features a fun layout showcasing the little snowman standing next to a window. The window was created using the Silhouette Cameo. The snowman was cut using the Cameo, however, it is very easy to cut him with scissors as well.

I know that some of you don't have the Cameo or a window die. So today, I wanted to show you another way to create this card using card stock, patterned paper and your paper cutter.

Here are some step-by-step instructions to make a window of your own.

Step 1

 
Measurements:
White panel- 4 5/8" X 2 1/2"
Red panel- 4 1/2" X 2 3/8"
4 Snowflake panels- 1" X 2"
 
Step 2
 
 

 
Step 3
 
 
Step 4
 
 
Close up
 
 
Try making an autumn card by using autumn leaves paper in your window and some pretty pumpkins or a fun scarecrow for your accent piece. I hope you enjoyed this step-by-step tutorial. The Cameo is a fabulous machine that I highly recommend, however, most of my cards can be closely reproduced using your paper cutter, punches or dies.
 
Make it a great day and happy stamping!
 
Hugs,
Gina K.
