Makena<\/a> was reminded of all the wonder that the ice cold of winter can bring and immediately thought of snowmen.

She used Snowman, Branched Birch and Poppystamps Evergreen Trio Dies<\/a> and finished with Distress Crayons<\/a>, Mica Spray<\/a> and various elements from Ideology<\/a> to pull the frosty look together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anna-Karin<\/a> made a winter village with pastel colors and lots of sparkly snow. She used Tim Holtz Paper Village dies <\/a>to create the houses. The little deer comes from the Decorative Deer set<\/a> and the sparkly roofs of the houses were die cut with SSS Glitter Paper<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emma<\/a> created a card inspired by Disney’s Frozen.
