Happy Thursday! Time for a new Create with Connie and Mary Sketch Challenge! Isn’t this a fun sketch?

Here’s my card using the very sweet stamp set, Warm & Toasty!

Stampin’ Details:
- The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Thick Whisper White cardstock, scored at 4-1/4 and folded.
- A 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Pool Party cardstock is added on top.
- The 3 x 5 piece of Heartwarming Hugs Designer Paper was added diagonally across the front.
- A 2-1/2 x 5 piece of Whisper White cardstock was stamped with snowflake image with Pool Party ink randomly in the background.
- A 1-1/2 x 5 piece of Whisper White cardstock was cut with the stitched curvy die from Freezin’ Friends Dies, then added to the front.
- Pool Party cardstock was punched with the Classic Label Punch and cut, then added in the upper left corner. Two Snowflake Adhesive Sequins were added on top.
- The polar bear from Warm & Toasty Stamp set was stamped with Memento Black Ink and colored with Real Red, Old Olive and Light Pool Party. It was popped up on the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- The greeting was stamped with Memento Black Ink on the snow.
