I had this laid out on my desk last Wednesday for WOYWW, but ran out of time before we left to get this post organized. I am now a sea of laundry, ironing and unpacking, but wanted to get this card posted!
This is another very simple card. Another one that uses up some VOS (very old stash) and also manages to use up a couple of blue snippets. Hurrah!
I cut two blue card stock pieces for the fish tale flag as I did not have a snippet long enough. I cut two pieces of the blue shimmery card stock and seamed them behind the larger of the snowmen.
Here is a close up of the dimension...
Luckily, once I added the Snowmen, it distracted the eye enough that the sheen difference is not noticeable at a glance. Or so I am telling myself!!! lol
I managed to slide in a tiny K and Co embellishment. Can you find it? Hint...look left...
Recipe
Card base and envelope - from my stash, Michael's Recollections square textured card

You are the only one who s going to notice the difference in "sheen" Maureen. I have enlarged it but I think I would need a magnifying glass - and probably still not see it! Anyway, I love your fat jolly snowmen. Fits the theme brilliantly. Good luck with your mountain of washing and ironing! Lol! Love from Christine xx
Beautiful card-Those sowmen are just gorgeous!
Best wishes,Nessa xx

This is fab Maureen!!!! I'm glad you liked my challenge :) I've just done a pile of laundry and ironing too today I was glad to see the back of it and there is only me and Paul no idea where it all comes from LOL hugglesssssssssssss Sue xxxx
Oh yes, I do remember the corduroy phenomenon...messed up a pair of slacks one time cutting the legs in diff directions! Loved your Snowy card, and your sheen diff didn't show atall, and your recipient is not going to notice it either! The cute snowmen will distract & the recipient will just see the loveliness of your handmade card. I knew exactly what you meant about the folded fabric eggs too. We did that in a quilting class I took. I still have a couple that we made, and also Christmas ornaments too - with the technique. TFS your pretty card. Don't work too hard with the chores! Hugs
What a sweet Christmas card - great use of old stash and snippets indeed!

These snowmen are just adorable, Maureen! I love the stash in the big guy's arms: candy, cupcake, AND star cookie! Yummo! Good job using up the snippets and VOS!! Hugs, Darnell
And there you are, Maureen! You're back with not one, but TWO snowpeople (Being PC here. Wouldn't want to presume they're both men, esp the little guy!). Love the MME paper.
