Snowman Card

Does this ever happen to you? I felt like making a card tonight, so I started browsing through some Mojo Monday sketches for inspiration. Here's the one I picked:

And by the time I was done, here's the card I came up with, looking nothing at all like the original sketch:

How does that happen? Oh well, I had fun and like how the card turned out so I guess that's all that matters, right? :-)

Winter Scene from Easel Card Tutorial

I had a request on the Make the Cut! forum to provide the cutting file I used to create the front of the easel card in my tutorial, so here it is. But, I'll let you in on a little secret...I used basic shapes in Make the Cut! to create this file. The trees are three triangles and a rectangle sized appropriately and welded together, and the hills are made from a heart that I turned sideways and sliced pieces off, then stretched to get the size and shape I wanted. It's amazing what you can do with Make the Cut!

As for the rest of the scene, the snowflakes in the background are stamped on with white ink. The whole thing is on a piece of cardstock 4" x 4" which is then mounted on another piece of cardstock measuring 4 1/4" x 4 1/4".

And here's the cutting file, just click on the preview image to download the files. MTC and SVG files are included in the free download. Enjoy!
