Before I get to today’s project, I wanted to remind you that the Kit Sale is going away soon. It is over on Halloween! So if you have one, or more, that you have been considering now is the time. You cannot bet the 30% off.
I have a a sweet Winter card to share today. It is not necessarily a Christmas card as it is more of a Caring card. I thought the set was adorable when I first saw it. And I am just now getting around to inking it up. It is a fun one for sure.
Stamp Set
This sweet snowman and bunny scene is a single stamp from the Snowman Hugs stamp set. I think it is a perfect one for friends and even as a thank you during this coming Winter months. And even better is the perfect sentiment included in the set as well. There are a couple of snowmen along with a few sentiments that are funny and sweet. I hope you will take a look at it in the Mini Catalog.
The image is stamped using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and then colored using a variety of Stampin’ Blends. All f them are listed in the Supply List at the bottom of the post. The colors are all pulled from the paper. I may have taken some liberties with my snowman’s vest. I used Poppy Parade for the trim and bow tie and then both of the Shaded Spruce for the vest. The vest has plaid markings. The overall is the Light Shaded Spruce with the striping being the dark Shaded Spruce.
Papers
This fun paper seemed a perfect match for the snowman. It is from the Snowy Scenes Designer Series Paper. This is a great pack that I almost overlooked. It has snowy scenes like this on one side and then fun plaid, snowflakes, and candy canes on the other sides. There is something for any Winter card. I use the Candy Cane piece on another card for later in the week.
The card base and layer were also from the DSP. I pulled the very light Pool Party as the card base. I love this color and use it as a highlight fairly often. Then to help the DSP pop, I added a layer of Poppy Parade. Once I began putting everything together I felt like I needed to ground the snowman. So a thin strip of the Poppy Parade did the trick.
Extras
To give the sentiment a little extra, I used the Everyday Details Dies. These Dies have large holes punched around the pieces. But the smallest circle is this one I used. It has smaller stitching and works great here. To finish the scene I needed some bling. I could not decide on what would work the best and decided on some color. But there is not really a Poppy Parade bling. I fixed that however. All I had to do was color a few pearls with the Poppy Parade Stampin’ Blends. Easy Peasy!!!
