5 Different Snowmen Cards

This is a longer post with different snowmen images. The description of each card is under the photo. Enjoy.


I love this snowman card because the snowman stamp by Close to My Heart is so playful. The green die cut is by Dreamweaver Stencils, and the polka dot glitter paper is by Doodlebug. This embossing folder is by Spellbinders, and I stamped snowflakes in each square of the dry embossed.


Next, I used a snowman stamp from 1998 by Designs by Trena Hegdahl for Westwater Enterprises.
 I colored it in with chalk mixed with paint before cutting it out with a die by Spellbinders. To get the color inside the die cut, I added distress ink with an ink blending tool while the paper was still inside the die. The patterned paper is by Bazzill.
The sentiment is a heavy brass embellishment by The Paper Studio and is held down with brads

For this next card, I used one of my Mom’s fabric squares.
The background is a recycled card.
The scalloped die cut behind the snowman is by Spellbinders and the red scalloped die cut is from eBay. 

In the cards above, I upcycled snowmen images from two different store-bought cards. On the left, I stamped the white background with snowflakes. And then I cut a red cardstock square into triangles.
For the card on the right, I added the snowman onto a scalloped rectangle die cut by Spellbinders. I placed some red rick-rack down the center of a piece of blue cardstock that is dry embossed with an embossing folder by Spellbinders before adding the snowman on top.

The last card is my Elsa card that I finally finished up. She doesn’t need a post of her own. 
The patterned paper is by The Paper Studio and Carter’s Bella.
Colored with Copic markers, with some white paint on her cape. 
The sentiment came with the set of images.

Thanks for looking

Your snowman cards and gorgeous Elsa are really Christmas-y and make my heart feel warm! I think my fave image is the PSX snowman. Love him! Your repurposing of cards is admirable and well done. :) Love the things you chose to reuse, and 'specially the use of your Mom's fabric squares, which are lovely. Well done on all counts! Hope you had a Merry Christmas! ~Ali :)
