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.

Blue Snowman Cards

I have a bunch of Christmas cards coming this week.

I used a stamp by PSX (1999)

The sentiment Sassy Studio Designs

The die-cuts are by Spellbinders

The patterned papers:

1st card uses the inside of a store-bought card. I just added some Honey Bee Studio blue snowflakes

2nd card uses patterned paper by Die Cuts with a View and an embossing folder by Cuttlebug. The top of the image has 2 eyelets and some Stampin Up Fancy Fibers weaved into it.

3rd Card uses patterned paper by Carte Bella. I stamped and heat embossed the snowflakes stamps by Stampin Up with silver powder.

Light blue snowflake was hard to photograph.

You can see the snowflake stamps I added.

Happy Holidays Teddy Bear Card

The teddy bear stamp on my card today is by PSX. Not much of this card is mine but rather the lady I received the Christmas stamps from. I adhered the bear on the red paper crooked and added the holly punch to the corner to cover a blemish. The patterned paper in the background is by Anna Griffin. The sentiment has been gold heat embossed.

Christmas Cards All Year Round September

This month at Christmas Cards all Year Round the theme is 

"Country Christmas"

I must say this challenge is not one of my strong suits but I did make two cards for the occasion. The first one uses a set of three trees on one stamp by Stampin Up. I stamped them with Hero Arts black onto Ranger's distress watercolor paper. Then I colored the trees in with distress inks and a water pen. 

Once it was dry I trimmed the piece down 1/4 of an inch and matted it to green cardstock. Then to finish it off I applied a SRM Sticker to the front left.

My second card uses a stamp by PSX (circa 1995) that I stamped onto the same watercolor paper with black Versa Color ink and heat embossed it with clear embossing powder by Stamp N Plus. Then I colored it in the same way as above. The patterned paper is by Bazzill, felt ribbon by Oriental Trading Co, and brad by Around the Block.

Christmas Cheer

6 year anniversary giveaway can be found

HERE

I really like the way today's card. The stamp is an old one by PSX. I don't know much about that company other then I have inherited a lot of their stamps. My husband's uncle's friend's mother (did you follow that?) had to be put into a home due to Alzheimer's and I inherited her Christmas stamps, punches and just stuff. I would say it amounted to 100+ wooden stamps and a dozen punches to name a few things. Some of the stamps are brand new, never been inked before.

So anyway back to my card. I stamped the basket onto watercolor paper by Strathmore and colored it in with distress inks mixed with water and a paint brush. I don't know the names for the papers but the sentiment is a Hero Arts stamp with red ink by Stampin Up.

Thanks for looking.
