I don't know about you but anything
Rudolph brings back such wonderful childhood memories for me.
Since Christmas is
over, I have a great winter card for you!
Snow Yeti is that
wonderful Abominable Snowman from Rudolph. It is a great addition to scrapbook
pages or cards but I decided to make HIM my actual CARD. If you don't know how, just follow along!
2. Select the WHOLE file and pull the bottom right handle to size the yeti to 5.25 inches.
3. Select the solid yeti. In the pic above it is the green image. Move all items off the cutting mat and move the green yeti on
the mat. Select "copy" and "paste in place" then "flip". Without moving it, use your "up arrow" on your key board to move
the new copy of your yeti up until just the top is overlapping with your original yeti.
4. Select the two yetis and use the "weld" key to weld both snowmen together to form the base of your card.
5. Cut the card base out with white card stock and cut all other pieces out in their respective colors. (One light blue, one
grey and one white.) The Yeti file is color coordinated but if you need some reference use the jpg included in
your file purchase. (You do not need to cut out the Christmas trees or the snowflakes for this project.) I grouped
each item by color so you can cut them out at the same time. Either arrange each color group on a mat and cut or arrange
each group on a section of the mat and cut all together.
6. Add some black paper behind the light blue face. (The holes for the mouth and eyes.)
7. Glue all layers together. Start with the white base, add the light blue layer with the black added to the back, next the grey
layer and last the white.
8. Add the eyes, nose, teeth and tongue and you are DONE!
This technique for making the base card can work for all kinds of files. Have fun playing with your images! Use
them for more then just embellishments for cards; use them AS your cards! People enjoy getting special shaped
cards. Give it a try!
