1.   Run scrap of the Galvanized Metallic Paper through the Big Shot with the Blizzard Thinlits die and the Precision Base Plate.

NOTE:  Sandwich is Big Shot platform, standard cutting pad, Blizzard Thinlits die with cutting edge up, Shimmery White paper, blue silicone mat, and white Impressions Pad.

3.   Shake the Frost White Shimmer Paint and tip upside down. Tip right side up and remove the lid. Place the sponge dauber on your finger and dab it into the lid, picking up some of the shimmer paint. Dab paint onto the ‘wind’ stamp. And randomly stamp across the face of the snowflake embossed shimmery white mat from Step 2. Let dry.

4.   Assemble the card by folding the card base in half on the score line. Adhere a piece of the Black Organdy Ribbon one third of the way down from the top of the embossed shimmery white mat.

5.   Adhere the shimmery white mat to the Black Metallic Paper mat, and then add this piece to the Galvanized Metallic paper mat. Glue this to the card base.

6.   Adhere the die cut Galvanized Metallic paper snowflakes to the front.

7.   Stamp sentiment of choice in Memento ink inside card.
