Challenge #60 of Merry Little Christmas Challenge for the 1st of January, 2025

Happy New Year!! I can not believe that it is 2025 already!

Anyway, it has been quite a hectic few months, but for challenge #60 for January/February 2025 of the Merry Little Christmas Challenge Blog I used some of my products from La-La Land Crafts!

Here is my card for this month:

and here is a photo of the inside:

I have used the following products:

• Marci with Snowman Rubber Stamp
• Let it Snow Clear Stamp Set
• Winter Time Paper Pack
• Pop Fold Die

Marci and the snowmen were stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink and coloured with the following Copics: 

• skin - E000, E00, E11, E13, R20
• lips - R46, white gel pen
• hair - E13, E15, E17, E18
• red - R02, R24, R46, R89
• turquoise - BG11, BG13, BG18
• black - N0, N2, N4, N6
• snowman/jacket - E40, E41, E43, E44, E47
• nose - YR15, YR18
• white - N0, N2, N4

As usual, I have taken inspiration from the wonderful Alyce at Kit and Clowder and her fantastic monthly classes and bonus classes.

Here is a close up photo of the images before I adhered them to the card:

For the front of the card, I adhered a piece of the Winter Time Paper Pack to the front of a white square card from Envelope Solutions and then attached Marci and the Snowman with foam tape.

Then for the inside, I followed the directions from Irina for a variety of cards that she has made using the Pop Fold Die. I die cut the Pop Fold Die from blue cardstock and cut another piece of lighter blue cardstock (3 1/2" x 7" and scored at 3 1/2" on the 7" side) to make the base. Then I cut two white layers (3 ¼" x 3 ¼") and adhered them on to the lighter blue piece. I stamped the sentiment from Let it Snow Clear Stamp Set on the left in Nautical Blue Memento ink and adhered the snowman to the right, before assembling the pop fold to the inside of the card.

Here are some photos of the inside:

Here is another photo of the finished card:
