Sorry Marianne!

A little while ago, my bloggy pal Marianne made a comment that made me smile - she said she wasn't very keen on pop-up boxes as they don't seem like real cards to her.  Little did she know that I had just made my first two of these cheeky little rascals!


I didn't have a template for this, I just winged it after reading the construction instructions in a recent magazine
I've used a ton of old Papermania Colossal Christmas papers
Stamp is CC Designs Snow Flake
Sentiment is Hero Arts
Various lengths and angles of acetate strips
A few punched snowflakes which I glued and Glamour Dust-ed




Sorry Marianne, but I had great fun making it!

Sweet Stampin - Let It Snow

Hugs to all for a super weekend.

Wendy Nicola Jackson said...

Hehe, did make me laugh when I saw your post title. Funny how we notice things our blog buddies don't like, take influence from them, are inspired by them. I think your box card is awesome and I really like them! Great job. Thanks so much for joining in the fun at Sweet Stampin' this week for our 'Let it Snow' challenge. Good luck! Hugs, Wends x Sweet Stampin' DT

The box cards are fun, but I have to sort of agree with your friend that they aren't really cards. They are more fun than cards! (to receive anyway). I love what you've done here with the snowflakes on the clear. How fun!
