Warmest Wishes for Christmas!

Do you want to build a snowman??? That song is still playing in my head! When I sat down to make this cheery Christmas card I could not stop singing! I just absolutely adore this stamp set from Simon Says Stamp and it's called "Build a Snowman!" It is the best snowman stamp set out there. It's super fun to die cut all the snowman parts, and hats and scarves. EEEP. Love it. This card is full of sparkle and shine too! I used Simon Says Stamp exclusive products and my Copic Markers….and lots of Stickles!

I think snowmen don't only have to be specifically for Christmas either. You could use this stamp set well into the rest of the winter – for greetings and winter birthdays….or Thank you cards! I hope you like him too. 

 

 

 

I was trying to get a close up of the strand of lights! I colored them with Copic markers in vivid primary colors. Then I took a Sakura Glaze pen (clear) and added 10 coats of glaze! It dries pretty fast…. You just put down the first coat, wait for it to dry, and repeat. Just keep going over the old layer. It looks really cool and shiny – just like lights! You can also see all the Stickles I added. I couldn't really help myself! 

 

 

 

This is an A2 card when finished. I cut my white layer and then die cut a circle in the upper center of it. Then I stamped snowflakes in pretty blue ink and added Stickles to the centers of the snowflakes. I added my sentiment in dark black ink. Next I stamped and cut out all my snowman pieces and parts! 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I added a cute white pom pom to the top of his hat…and guess what? I covered that with Stickles too! I added some of the clear glaze pen to his eyes also. Makes them shiny like coal!

 

 

 

 

This card totally makes me happy!! I hope you have a wonderful day and a fantastic Christmas week! Lots of love and warm winter wishes from my house to yours! XOXO
