When I make 6" x 6" cards I usually hand deliver them, as there is usually an extra postage charge for the larger cards. For this card, I wanted to play around with a gate fold card using the larger Sizzix Snowflake 3D die cuts as the "gate" closure. This particular Snowflake 3D die is actually made for Pop-up cards, but the large snowflakes can certainly be used in a variety of other ways too. (I apologize I don't have a better photo of the pop-up version).

For this gate-fold card I used cardstock from Bo Bunny's 'Tis the Season' and embellished with a variety of stamps including: CTMH 'Christmas Heaven', Tim Holtz 'Winter Sketchbook' & 'Holiday Wishes', and Inkadinkado's 'Warm Holiday Wishes'. I cut the "winter wind" from Sizzix swirls die, and added a couple stickers to the front. I did color in the snowman face with Copic markers, but the red berries aren't showing up as red in the photo for some reason.
Another quick card worked out quite well...I'm getting down to the wire and still have a few more to go. Hope you're having a beautiful week!
