T his sample uses just some of the stamps from the kit and a tag, nothing else.

Start with an A2 card base in crumb cake.
Fold it in half and score in 1" from the edge on one of the sides.
fold the paper back on the score line.
Using whisper white ink and the snow stamp from the kit, stamp along that piece you folded back.
tip: open the card flat and stamp. It doesn't matter if the white gets on the front of the card as it will be covered up.
Now you will want to stamp an inch in on the inside of the card with the snow.
tip: this time open the card flat and use a piece of scrap paper to cover the section you don't want to get the snow stamped on. You want just an inch of the edge covered.
Cut a 51/2 x 21/4 inch piece of paper from the Let It Snow specialty paper. Adhere that to the card front, lining it up with the fold.
You can put adhesive on the piece you folded back now and stick that down to the card front.
I cut a 21/4 x 23/4 piece of whisper white and stamped the snowman from the Snowman Season set and colored pieces of him.
I also added the puff paint to the snow that was falling.
Stick that to a 21/2 x 3 coastal cabana piece and then adhere that to the card.
tip: be careful not to put the adhesive too close to the edge that hangs over where you scored or it will stick your card shut.
finally I stamped a sentiment on an extra strip from the kit and stuck that below the snowman.
I found a random snowflake jewel that I had in the drawer and stuck that on there too.
