Snowman Christmas Card

I suddenly became inspired so.... I quickly headed to my scrap room! I made this card in no time at all.

Here's how:

1. Weeks ago, I colored a bunch of background pages. I colored the sunset ones the same day as this one. Again, I used my Spectrum Noir markers. I colored this one in kind of a stripe pattern so it would look like a winter sky.
2. I cut my card base (6 1/4 by 9) and folded the paper.
3. I cut the background paper to fit the base. Then I punched the corners using my large ticket punch.
4. I stamped snowflakes all over The background. I used my Versa Magic stamp pad and holographic embossing powder. I used my heat gun to heat the embossing powder. Then I attached the piece to the base of the card.
5. I stamped the snowman, embossed it with platinum embossing powder, and heated it with my heat gun.
6. I colored the snowman with my Spectrum Noir markers. I used BT1, BT2, IG1, DR1, JG1, GB10, and OR1.
7. I cut out the snowman. I put foam on the back to pop it up. Then I put chunky glitter at the bottom of the image.
8. I made the Let it Snow tag by stamping it, embossing it with platinum embossing powder, and heating the powder with my heat gun.
9. I cut out the tag using a Spellbinder and my Big Kick machine. (You can use any machine though.)
10. I put foam on the back of the tag, attached it, and put Stickles around the edge for some added sparkle!
11. I finished the card by adding gems to the corners!

There you have it! It's a pretty simple card! I love snowman, and you'll probably be seeing a lot of them as we head toward the holiday season!

  2. There are 3 stamps. One was part of a wood mounted set that Rose gave me. The other 2 are clear stamps that were a part of a set that I bought at Joann Fabrics. It has all kinds of Christmas sayings. I can show it to you the next time we all get together.
