Snowy Wiper Card




I have a thing for snowmen. I absolutely HATE real snow, but I just adore snowmen! I don't believe I have ever seen a snowman I haven't liked!

And since I like snowmen so much, I have a hard time walking away from a snowman stamp! The one I used on this card is one of my all-time favorites, and was made by Penny Black.

This card style is known as a wiper card because of the little pop-up mechanism that swipes up with the motion of a windshield wiper when the card is opened. For my card, I used a piece of acetate to make my mechanism and added a punched snowflake to it. It makes it seem that the snowflake is suspended in the air.

If you would like to learn how to make this card, you can get an instructional PDF at this link.

Below is another wiper card I made for Halloween.

  1. Kathy, I love your card! The snowman looks awesome! We have lots of snow in the mountains here in Southern Oregon. I love the snow! If it weren't for snow you wouldn't have inspiration for that awesome card!
