- 4" x 5-1/4" from Soft Suede Cardstock

- 3/4" x 3" from Cajun Craze Cardstock

Mount the fox image from the Stylish Sketches Set on Block I. Ink it up with the Tuxedo Black Memento Ink Pad. Stamp it on the horizontal 3-7/8" x 5-1/8" white rectangle so it is about 1" from the bottom edge and about 1/2" from the right edge.
Place the fox stamped white rectangle on some Grid Paper to protect your work surface. You need to make sure that you protect your work surface with paper as the Stampin' Blends Markers do bleed through.
Use the Dark Cherry Cobbler Stampin' Blends and Light and Dark Soft Suede Stampin' Blends to color in the fox.
Use the Dark Crumb Cake Stampin' Blends to blend the colors together.
Unlock the Banners Pick A Punch. Slide one short edge of the Cajun Craze strip into the right side of the punch (the side of the punch with the inward notch) as far as it will go and get it centered. Punch. Leave the punch unlocked.
Slide one short edge of the Cherry Cobbler strip into the right side of the unlocked Banners Pick A Punch (the side of the punch with the inward notch) as far as it will go and get it centered. Punch.
Adhere the punched Cajun Craze strip to the upper left corner of the stamped and colored white rectangle so it is about 1/4" from the left edge and is about 2-1/8" long. Use Paper Snips Scissors to cut off excess Cajun Craze cardstock along the top edge.
Adhere the punched Cherry Cobbler strip to the upper left corner of the stamped and colored white rectangle so it overlaps the right edge of the Cajun Craze strip half way and is about 1-3/4" long. Use Paper Snips Scissors to cut off excess Cherry Cobbler cardstock along the top edge.
Adhere the stamped and colored white rectangle with banner strips attached to the center of the large Soft Suede rectangle and then to the front of the Cherry Cobbler card.
Gently squeeze some Snowfall Accents Puff Paint onto the white rectangle under the fox and across the bottom to form a "snowbank."
Use the Heat Tool to heat the puff paint until it gets dry and puffy.
Mount the "thank you" sentiment from the Celebrating You Set on Block G. Ink it up with the Cherry Cobbler Ink Pad. Stamp it on one end of the long thin white strip in the center. Leave room to punch it out.
Unlock the Double Oval Punch. Hold the punch upside down so you can see the punching area. Slide the stamped sentiment into the punch and get it centered in the smooth oval punching area. Punch. Leave the punch unlocked.
Slide the long, skinny Soft Suede strip into the unlocked Double Oval Punch and get it centered in the scalloped oval punching area. Punch.
Adhere the white sentiment oval punch out to the center of the scalloped, Soft Suede oval punch out.
Use Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the matted oval punch outs to the front of the card as shown so they overlap both banners a bit and are about 1/2" from the top of the card.
