2019 Holiday Catalog, Seasonal - Winter

It’s Snowmen Season!

I’ve been absent from my blog for a bit….so much going on and just not enough time.  Thanksgiving Holidays, footballs games, and a surprise trip for my Mom’s 90th Birthday.  But I’m back and I have lots of cards, treat holders and other fun projects to catch up on and share with you.

It’s December now and that means snow…..if you are fortunate enough to live in a area that actually gets some.  I spend most of my time dreaming about it….so I like to make lots of snowmen cards!  The first is this this cute card with a wavy greeting.

The snowman is waving, so why not the greeting too?  The colors aren’t traditional Christmas red and green, but when you are having fun with snowmen, you should have fun with the paper too!  This is from the Let it Snow Designer Series Paper and features the colors Flirty Flamingo and Coastal Cabana.  You might not be able to tell, but the paper also has a little bit of shine and shimmer.  If you look closely at the snow on the trees you should be able to see it.

The Snowman is fun too and is easily punched with the Snowman Builder Punch that is part of the Snowman Season Stamp Set Bundle.

If you use your Stamparatus to line up the stamps for the snowman, you can punch out the snowman, arms, hat and nose all in one punch!   It’s easy and this is how you do it:7E90BD99-7ADF-433A-A688-0BACEF2D511F

  1.  Make a stencil using a scrap piece of cardstock by using the punch.
  2. Place the stencil on your stamparatus base.
  3. Place the stamps in the correct position in the stencil, then close the plate so the stamps are ready to go.
  4. Replace the stencil with a piece of Whisper White Cardstock.  Ink up the stamps and  stamp as usual by closing the plate.
  5. Insert your stamped image into the punch and you’re done!

I put the snowman on dimensionals and attached him to a Whisper White Oval that I had used a light Bermuda Bay Stampin’ Blend to “scribble” the background.  I then put a little Multipurpose Liquid Glue on the ends of the arms and adhered them to the snowman body.  The hat is colored with Stampin’ Blends markers and also adhered with dimensionals.

Then is was simple to just place my ovals on the card base, cut my banner with the sentiment and my card was done!  Oh, but I did stamp another snowman on the inside….you know how I like to have a little something there!
