Step 3:  Stamp the Best of All saying on a 2" x 2 3/4" piece of white cardstock with Tuxedo Black ink
Step 4: Use a Fitted Frames Set B size H on the saying, and size P on the snowman to die cut the images, cut matching mats from the Mint Julep paper
Step 5:  Cut a 2 1/4" x 5 3/4" piece of the HoHoHo paper (green side), use the 1/2" brush to add a little Cottage Ivy around the edges, then run the ink pad along each edge, adhere to the left side of the card front
Step 6:  Run the Cottage Ivy ink pad along the edges of the two Mint Julep frames
Step 7:  Adhere the Snowman to its mat and then to the lower right corner of the card front
Step 8: Use foam tape to attach the saying in the upper left
Step 9: Use a palette knife to dab some Regular Embossing Paste along the bottom of the Snowman to look like "snow", sprinkle wet paste with Crystal Glitter, tap off extra, let dry well
