Today the Just Magnolia Challenge is starting after the holiday break again. We are starting with another Special Monthly Challenge and I want to fill my life again with Magnolia. The lovely Mina wrote a wonderful tutorial about " Paper Pleating . I did not know this technique before and just had to give it a try:

As the new Magnolia snowmen are so cute I really had to use Frosty With Snow Flake from The So Snowy Collection 2009 for my card. I think he is looking so cute! The pattern paper is from Magnolia, too. The force is Bazzill cardstock and I think it was perfect for my card.

The paper pleating is a wonderful addition to every card. I think I will keep this technique in my mind and use it again. I cut the image with Spellbinders Labels 8th As the background was too empty I just cut the next bigger label too and it embossed with the Cuttlebug D'vine Swirl embossing folder. I also embossed the cardstock strip Which I added over the wonderful Tilda-lace with an embossing border folder.

The big snowflake is therefore a Cuttlebug that. I sewed a matching button with Scrapper's Floss and inked the edges. I used a Spellbinders ribbon tag from the Trio set for days i sentiment and he cut one side. So you can only hang it down from one side and I used Scrapper's Floss for it, too. Colored

I used Copics and Polychromo / Prismacolor pencils to color Frosty With Snow Flake . For the snowflake I took my white gel pen.
