Hello! Today I'm sharing my version of a classic snowman card designed by another Stampin' Up! demonstrator. Her blog address is bluedahliadesigns.blogspot.com and I have loved this guy since I saw him the very first time a few years back.
The original design was slightly different and several of the tools and embellishments she used to make her guy have since retired so I put my own twist on her creativity, with current products from our Stampin' Up! line.
I'd love to hear what you think about him, and if you create your own snowman, I'd love to see him!
Just comment below and share your pix! CASEing is completely allowed because it keeps those creative juices flowing and from that new ideas are born!
Supplies:
Stamp set: Teeny Tiny Wishes
Ink: Garden Green
Punches: Circle-1 3/4" and 1 3/8"; Corner Rounder (oops! I used to Project Life one, but you can use the one on the Envelope Punch Board); 1/8" handheld; Cookie Cutter Builder
Cardstock: Thick Whisper White cut to 4" X 5 1/4" for background; Whisper White cut 2" X 4" for punching your snowman; Whisper White cut 1/2" X 1" for your tag
Basic Black cut 3"X 2" for your arms, eyes, buttons and hat (use the Cookie Cutter punch to cut hat. You'll need to trim a bit off the bottom to give it the curve on the brim of the hat). I used the Pretty Pines thinlits to cut his arms and then cut off the additional branches using my snips. The buttons and eyes all came from the Cookie Cutter punch
Pumpkin Pie cut 1/2" X 1" for his nose
Real Red cut 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" for card base, 2" X 1/2" (2 pieces for his scarf) and 1/4" X 4" to punch his hat ribbon (I used the Cookie Cutter punch to cut the ribbon so it had the same angles to fit the hat) and gift bow and to cut his gift ribbon
Garden Green: use scrap to cut pine boughs for hat decor
Specialty Papers: Be Merry Designer Series Paper cut 1" X 1 1/4" for gift
Red Glimmer paper- use scrap to punch decorative balls for gift and hat
Dazzling Diamonds
Tools: Pretty Pines Thinlits used to cut the pine boughs on hat
Paper Snips to curve to glimmer paper for a snowy look
Embellishments: White Thick Baker's Twine cut 3" and trimmed after tied through the sentiment tag
Rhinestones: I used the smallest ones for just a hint of bling
Adhesives: Glue Dots to adhere the red glimmer balls and the green pine boughs
Dimensionals to pop the Diamonds glimmer paper up as well as the tag and the gift
Multipurpose Glue to do the fine adhering
Fast Fuse for everything else
Let me know if you have any questions. I am happy to help!
