Oh what it is to play with new fabric! Yes, a little trip to the fabric store and away I go. I made these adorable little Snowman Chocolate Bar Wrappers last year and they were a hit, so I decided to make some this year to put on the top of gifts. I am hoping to make homemade wrapping paper to match. May have to post that one day too! I got this template at
Laurie's Blog . Thank-you Laurie.
With this little project I wanted to do a card to match. I also wanted to do a little stitching on the card to resemble wind swirls of snow....I think it worked pretty good. I just drew the swirls with a soft pencil and then pierced holes where the lines were, then used embroidery thread and feed it thru with a needle.
A little glitter to finish up the card, and we are done. Another Christmas card to add to my not so fast growing collection. I must get cracking! Have a wonderful day and hopefully you get into your craft room!

What an adorable project and card! I always remember you love snow-people. I'm sorry I haven't been around in awhile. My current post kind of explains. Wish I could clone myself so I could still be consistently doing my cards too.

Over-achiever... This is fantastic. I am so loving that fabric. Do you know the brand? I made these last year too thanks to your blog. Great job Christine. Love the stitched snow. We finally got a fabric store here and I went yesterday. I was in sewing bliss.
Super sweet chocolate snowmen, Christine, with their lovely matching outfits! Oh so cute!!! Love your card too with its perfect stitching and pretty embossing. I think this is where I left off and I have enjoyed seeing what you have made up to date. Beautiful work! Hugs, Lesley
I love, love, love your chocolate bar snowmen. The fabric is ultra cute. I also love the card...what stamp did you use for the snowman? I have got to find that one!!! The stitching is really fun too.
