Happy Flops, closed

Photo Details

Poster: mitchygitchygoomy

While my snowman did a BIG flop, my card did a little flop, lol. I read the instructions yesterday, and saw Anitas samples were a little different and read that she did it her own way, so today, I tried to remember what I saw and read, and did it my own way too, but it has a little trouble standing pretty when it is closed. I still like it though. My subject inspiration came from the Sept Christmas card challenge inspiration. Thanks to Anita and Angie.

Love your silly snowman! The dotted brown DSP adds such a warm and cozy touch, like hot cocoa on a chilly day!

Be still my heart...you know I love that snowman flopped down or not.
Plus, I also love dotted paper and your poinsettia paper is pretty, too. Wonderful technique and a person's own way is good. Glad you played in our Christmas challenge and getting some cards made.

Oh.... that snowman is so cute and beautiful choice of papers to showcase him!! If it doesn't stand closed, keep it standing when opened

Love your snowman and the great vintage colour palette of the papers. Fab snow.

I attached a 1" wide strip at the back of my polar one to help it stand, the same sort of thing I do with most single panel cards or fun folds that aren't free-standing. Because I matted and layered my second one it was sturdier.
