Hi crafty friends! I’m so excited to share with you this wintery card I made using stamps and dies from Simon Hurley. I hope you enjoy this tutorial as much as I enjoyed making the card!

Step 1: Create an A2 card base out of Stark White Cardstock. Cut the 8½ x 11 cardstock down to 4¼ x 11. Then score at 5½. Cut another piece measuring 4 x 5¼ to be your front panel.
