This is my card for CC914. Barbara is our hostess and she chose granny apple green melon mambo and heather highland for her color trio. Dessert option this week is sparkle. I used white glitter paper for the snowbanks and the hat brims. Although it didn't photo so sparkly.
I thought I would try these non-traditional colors for a Christmas card. My funfold design is called a screen divider card. There is a tutorial here on SCS. Check it out here.
I embossed the background panels with the SU "softly falling" embossing folder. On the first 3 panels I am featuring new dies from CottageCutz. I also used the "happy ho ho ho die" on these panels. The last panel I used for my stamped greeting.
For Santa's hat and glove, I used merry merlot- one of our neutrals. I also had to give my snowmen a carrot nose.
I am sending this card at Christmas to my precious great niece who loves to get cards in the mail from me. She even hangs them up in her bedroom. So precious!
Hope you can play along with us this week. Barbara has chosen some fun colors for your card making.
Absolutely adorable Christmas card! But now that wonderful song It Must've Been Ol' Santa Claus sung by Harry Connick, Jr. is playing and replaying in my head <big smile> Thanks for sharing this sweet card!

Oh, oh, oh! What a masterpiece! I adore the cute figures on this card--they have such cute expressions! Love the divider screen fun fold, and I still have that punch; I really want to give this technique a try! This is so adorable, Mary!
