For my card share today I used four of my favorites from today's release. It was hard to narrow it down but I simply couldn't fit another thing on my card! ha!

I created my card base by die cutting SSS Sea Glass Cardstock using the stitched rectangle from the Bundle of Stiches die colleciton (these are some awesome, amazing basics that I will be using all the time!). I die cut another rectangle from white cardstock and then cut snow drifts from that rectangle using the Stitched Slopes and HIlls dies. I love having plenty of stitched hills options and these are fantastic. These have unique properties (like stitching only shapes that coordinate with the slopes and hills dies and a die that both cuts and has stitching) that will make them one-of-a-kind in your die arsenal!

I used white embossing paste white with the Falling Snow Stencil on the SSS Sea Glass Cardstock background for the look of snow. While the embossing paste dried, I stamped the images from the Snow Gear Stamp Set and the Build A Snowman Stamp Set with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and several Simon Inks and then I colored in the line art images with Copics (the individual colors are listed and linked below in supplies). I die cut all the images with the coordinating Snowman Parts dies and Winter Gear dies.

After assembling the die cut images, I adhered them to the card base, using some foam adhesive behind some of the elements. I stamped a greeting from the Snow Gear Stamp Set using a couple of colors of Simon Inks.
