Measurements: because of the striped paper I didn’t follow the layout measurements, I cut from left to right - 2 5/16”, 1 ¾”, 1 3/8” x 3 1/2” and I placed the ¾” x 5.5” cross strip on top of the panel leaving a ¾” space of card base. Image panel – 2 ¼” x 1 ¾” plus three 1/16” and one 1/8” borders.
I colored the image with Copic markers: Ice B0000,000,00, bear C00,0,2,3, R20, foot pads C00,3,5,7, penguin black 110, YR12,15,31 C00.
The out of the box feature is very easy by cutting to the image with a guillotine paper cutter on the front, marking the image on the back while holding to a light source then use the paper cutter again to cut to that mark. Scissor cut the image out. If needed - I use a Coluzzle and craft knife to cut between the images. I do have a pictorial on my blog if you need photos, click here. ItÂ’s a direct link to the tutorial.
The image panel and borders are mounted with foam tape.
The snowflakes are a Marvy punch for the larger and EK Success border punch for the smaller one. I cut a strip about ½” wide and slip it under the snowflake in the punch to save on paper when the tiny flake is all I want anyway. They are attached to each other with Aleene’s tacky glue and then to the card. I then used a paper piercer to put a whole through for the tiny brad center and the prongs are between the designer paper and the base.
I used the thin embossing folder from the set With Love (Cuttlebug) and a metal ball stylus to emboss the dots going across the card base. This avoids those nasty lines created when running through the machineÂ…not as quick but a whole lot prettier!

Giggle! What a fun image that is, Roxie!! I love your coloring, as usual, and the dp is fab. Nice row of embossing on the bottom. I've been wondering how your headaches are coming along....are you getting some meds that are giving you relief? As a fellow sufferer, I can really empathasize. We've been having a lot of rain, so you can guess how I have felt! Hugs, my friend.
