Bah! Humbug! - Challenge 6 - Snowmen...

Yeah it's Friday and that means it's Christmas time at Bah! Humbug!  This week it was my turn to choose the challenge and as I'm crazy about snowmen images I decided to make them our theme.  I daren't count how many snowmen stamps I have, both rubber and digi, but I reckon they are like shoes and bags and you can never have too many.
The stamps I've used are from a clear set by Kars in the Olifant range.  These are on sale at Funky Kits at the moment and at £4.43 a set are a huge bargain.
As soon as I saw these stamps I knew they would be great to use on this style of card with the concertina base and acetate roof.  Great fun to do and even though not pink the card has had the royal seal of approval from Laura (and she is very fussy).
My other card made in this way is here with some instructions for the folds although on today's card the two middle folds were both 1.5 inches.  I guess as long as the folds fit on the card you can do them as big or as small as you like.
Here's a close up of the concertina part... 

As you can see I used torn card edged with glitter to give a snowy floor effect.  As the boy and snowman were coloured with Promarkers I glued them to white paper before cutting out so that the seepage through the card of the Promarker ink would not be visable.


My card is also for the challenges at...

• Tanda Teaser - Quick and cute (hmmm definitely cute, but I'm not good at quick cards - I like to mess around trying different things.  This was relatively quick though as I've done the design before and know the measurements). 
• ABC Challenge - New Stash - my stamp set is new.

Have a super weekend with lots of crafting time everyone.  Hope you'll have chance to play with your snowmen images and join our challenge at Bah! Humbug!  Really looking forward to seeing what everyone comes up with.
