Day 4 – Holiday Card Series – Snowman Window Card
Morning, all!
We’re at day 4 already, can you believe it? Craziness! Anyhow, for today’s card I used a bunch of Inkadinkado stamps and stamp sets. The snowman comes from this awesome set, and then the large snowflake and smaller snowflake are individual stamps.
Oh! And the Tombow Mono Multi Glue that I love and mention in the video… great news! It’s not discontinued! In fact, TwoPeas now carries it along with a boatload of other adhesives. You’ll find the Mono Multi Glue as well as a vellum mono tape runner and my usual mono tape runner (plus refills). :)
Enjoy!
NOTE: I’ve received a LOT of questions about the music included in the videos. It is a 10-second clip of royalty-free music I purchased online. It’s not a real song from an album. :)

Such a cute card! What a fun card to send and receive. Thanks for sharing your project with us! I’m enjoying the videos every day!
November 5th, 2009 at 7:52 amSuper Cute!
November 5th, 2009 at 7:52 amHello, I just wanted to say you’re so talented and every creation of yours takes my breath away, literally! My 4 year old daughter likes stamping as well and she always looks forward to Mondays and Fridays when the videos are up. She tells me to show her the video of ‘the girl who does the stamping.’ With a video each day, she’s going to be super thrilled. I’m sure it must have taken you lots of time and effort to get these taken. So, thank you for them and I’m sure all your blog readers must appreciate and enjoy these videos.
November 5th, 2009 at 7:52 amOh! How cute.
November 5th, 2009 at 7:56 amthanks so much for creating all these great videos!! they are the first thing I check out every day before heading out to work!!

November 5th, 2009 at 8:17 amGood Morning! I really love your window cards, although I’m very intimidated by them. Perhaps this is the time to try. I found a NEW Coluzzle cutting system on Ebay for a great price. Suh-weet!!

November 5th, 2009 at 8:41 amThanks so much for doing this holiday card series. I’m getting my list of supplies needed to start my cards for the holidays. I’m loving this Inkadinkado Holiday sentiment stamp set.
November 5th, 2009 at 8:53 amThis card is absolutely adorable. I am so enjoying my daily dose of KW videos!
November 5th, 2009 at 9:03 amAnother great card. I love the embossed snowflakes on the front. Great added interest. Watching these videos inspired me to go out and buy my Christmas cardstock and get ready to make my own cards. Let the snow begin!
November 5th, 2009 at 9:10 amOh Oh Oh-this is such a darling idea. I am loving these daily videos. YOU are spoiling us!!!!!
November 5th, 2009 at 9:18 amKristina,
I was rewatching yesterday’s video and I was wondering if the Sweet Seasons stamp set from SU is one that you designed. The letters look like your handwriting. I want to order that set at my next stamp club meeting so I can make those tags. Love your videos!!
;)
You are spoiling us BIG TIME…… I am making a card like this today….
November 5th, 2009 at 9:26 amKristina you are so diverse in your ideas. Once again..I love this card. -(You probably get so tired of hearing that over and over again)- It’s just because you are so talented.

Love the Layout of the card!
Geesh! Woman! Where do you get your ideas to come up with the layouts? Loving each one of them! They’re all fantastic!!!
November 5th, 2009 at 10:48 amI almost bought these stamps the other day. That would have made it 5 sets I’ve bought this year for Christmas cards! Love the window card and I really need to try that!
November 5th, 2009 at 11:14 amOoooh! I love this card!! It seems to have a great vintage feel to it with the ivory cardstock and brown ink. Love the traditional green and red too. Beautiful!!
November 5th, 2009 at 11:53 amThat is adorable!! I really like that Snowman stamp you used, and the snowflakes are very pretty!
November 5th, 2009 at 1:04 pmLove this card! It is super cute!!!

Hi Kristina, Thanks so much for sharing another great card idea. I love that you are showing us how to do all the different techniques in your videos. I will be waiting for tomorrows card creation. You are so kind to share.
November 5th, 2009 at 2:04 pmSuch a wonderful card, Kristina!!! Thanks a lot!!!
November 5th, 2009 at 2:19 pmI am so loving your holiday card series. Great work!
November 5th, 2009 at 3:10 pmI’m so glad you’re doing this holiday series. It makes me even more excited to wake up every morning and check your blog. Anyway, love the card. Question on the tag die from yesterday…was it a Sizzix Bigz die? Would it cut through chipboard?
Yes, it’s a steel-ruled die. So it should cut through chipboard.
Wow, wow, and one thousand times WOW!!! I love this one!!!
Thanks again for sharing your talent and time with us :)
Ps: I totally freaked out when I heard about the Tombow Mono Multy being discontinued. Thank God it’s not!!

Your videos are so much fun! Thank you for taking the time to put this “gift” together for all of your followers!
Yes, I do have a bow tying video. Click here.
Love this card, Kristina… I like the window feature without the trouble of adding a clear window sheet, which I always mess up. Way to go! :-)
November 5th, 2009 at 5:46 pmReally cute! Love it..thanks so much!

November 5th, 2009 at 8:54 pmThanks so much for doing these videos, I’m enjoying them and looking forward to them everyday, I’m only afraid that you’re spoiling us!!!! What am I gonna do when 25 days is over????
November 5th, 2009 at 9:02 pmOnce again, I know I say it every day, thank you!
November 5th, 2009 at 9:21 pmYou keep me so inspired, did a couple of cards tonight after watching this video. Pulled out my coluzzle, had to dust it off. I had forgot how easy it is to use and what an impact it can make on a card.
Keep them coming!
Great card I like the coluzzle cut, I do not use mine enough and now I will have to break it out and use it. Wonderful card you do an awesome job.
November 5th, 2009 at 10:33 pmTHANKS TO YOUR VIDEOS NOW I CANT STOP TO PUT RIBBONS TO MY CARDS… AND IN A NICE WAY THANKS TO YOU !!! LOVE ALL YOU DO !
November 6th, 2009 at 12:33 amgreat card….so cute and fun…..
November 6th, 2009 at 5:18 amThis is super cute!!!! Thank you so much for all the work you put into these wonderful videos. They are awesome and I really appreciate them. I just love your style, you make it look effortless!
November 6th, 2009 at 6:15 amHi, I had to try making my own card, but the first one didn’t fold right. Is it really 11 inches and scored at 3 1/2 from both sides? Loooove your cards, you always make everything look so effortless and you never seem to run out of inspiration.
Yep, those are the dimensions. :) Not sure why yours didn’t turn out.
As Elin mentioned in the above comment, the 11 inch measure doesn’t make a fold that reaches the edges. I used a 10 1/2 inch measure and that seems to work better.
November 6th, 2009 at 7:39 pmI am having difficulties centering the coluzzle. Any tips. I have made 3 attempts! I am challenged obviously!!!!
I am enjoying your card videos Kristina.
Thanks.
Kristina, I love this fun window card – and that stamp set, I’m off to buy it now! The series of holiday cards is a fabulous idea, thank you SO much!
November 7th, 2009 at 7:49 amVery cute!
November 7th, 2009 at 8:42 pmHi Kristina!
I was thinking about making these into my Christmas cards this year. Instead of the Stampin’ Up! patterned paper, is there another one similar that you would recommend? Secondly, if I’m going to be making alot of these would you recommend getting more than one ink pad?
Thanks!
Many companies have striped paper right now. I can’t think of one specifically off the top of my head, but you can use whatever paper you like. And one ink pad would be fine for hundreds of cards. :)
This card is my absolute favourite. Love the colours, the stamps…everything!!
November 10th, 2009 at 6:39 pmThanks for doing this Kristina – you are really appreciated!
I Just love this card. It is simple and so very sweet. Thank you so much for doing this for us. You ROCK Kristina.
November 11th, 2009 at 11:15 amI had trouble getting the folds just right. I tried the 10 1/2 too and still one side was too short. So I made a single fold card doing the window. It still turned out okay-but just not the same
