Last minute gift card holder

Happy Wednesday!!  It's time for another challenge from The House That Stamps Built and this week it is a fan favorite: Anything Goes!! And here is the card I created for your inspiration:
 This was a last minute gift for a family member, so, yes, another Christmas card even though Christmas is over.  Speaking of which, I hope you had a wonderful Christmas with family and friends.  Not only is it a card, but it is a surprise gift card holder!

I did a little generational stamping with the trees to create a forest background for my cute little snowman which I colored and fussy cut out and adhered to the snowy scene.  I added some drops of glue and covered with glitter to create some extra sparkle.  The snow bank is die cut out of glitter paper, so this card is full of shimmer and sparkle!

Thanks for stopping by!  I hope you will hop over to the House blog to see the rest of the DT's creations and then get inky and play along with us.  And if you need any of the stamps I used, check out my 10% off your ENTIRE order coupon code over in my left sidebar.

What a fun card and love the double slide card. The snowman is just too cute sitting on the hill with the forest behind him. Happy New Year - may it be filled with health happiness and lots of creativity.
