Assembly

(Stampin' Seal used for assembly unless otherwise indicated)

1. Fold 11" x 4-1/4" card stock away from both score lines to create a card base that opens in the center.

2. With card closed, adhere 4" x 2-3/4" striped DSP to each of the two front panels.

3. Cut center (fourth from smallest) diorama shape from Misty Moonlight card stock; cut next smaller (third from smallest) diorama shape from Basic White card stock.

4. Stamp sentiment on Basic White shape with Misty Moonlight ink; stamp snowflakes with Fresh Freesia ink.  Adhere sentiment to Misty Moonlight shape and attach shape to left panel of card front.  (NOTE:  Apply adhesive to back of left side only so you don't glue the card shut!)

5. Cut penguin and snowman shapes from DSP.  Use liquid glue to adhere upper left portion of snowman to sentiment as shown.  Attach penguin with Stampin' Dimensionals.

6. Optional -- Dot centers of each snowflake with Wink of Stella.

7. Stamp sentiment on 5-1/4" x 4" Basic White card stock with Misty Moonlight ink; stamp snowflakes with Fresh Freesia ink.  Adhere to center panel on inside of card.  Cut small penguin and polar bear from DSP and adhere as shown with liquid glue.

NOTE:  These DSP shapes are fairly easy to fussy-cut with your Paper Snips; however, since I was making 20 cards for my swap, I cheated and cut them out with my Brother Scan 'n Cut.  Warning:  If you are using this machine, you will need to use a fine-line black pen to trace around the white shapes.  The background color is so pale that my machine had a difficult time distinguishing the shapes -- especially the snowman and the polar bear -- and wanted to cut out only the scarves and hats!

Hope you enjoy this fun card!
