CAS Christmas Card Challenge: Snowman

I am joining in the fun at CAS Christmas Card Challenge: Snowman,  hosted by the clever and creative CAS designer,  Hideko.  You will be inspired by the wonderful Guest Designer, Steph (My Paper Corner) and the Design Team.  Be sure and check out their fun snowmen!


I used  STAMPlorations Shirley Bee's "Layered Snowman" stamp set. Such a fun and versatile set.

 I stamped the Layered Snowman body and then stamped his head using Archival Jet Black ink.  Next added the stamped face at an angle and buttons then fussy cut his stamped top hat that I had colored with Zigs.
Next Attached the snowman to Strathmore Mixed Media A2 size paper  and added his fussy cut top hat at an angle...because he does have a bit of an attitude...I think!
Then I stamped his arms...he is waiting impatiently for more snow to fall!!
Wouldn't you have an attitude...if you were a snowman or snowlady?!?

Next stamped the sentiment from the same set and heat embossed.
Then added some snow to ground him,  which made my snowman a bit happier.
Used Connect Glue and Dazzling Diamonds Glitter for the very sparkly snow.

Then die cut the border with Reverse Confetti "Lacey Scallop Frame" Confetti Cuts.
Layered over SU Real Red Cardstock and attached the card front to the SU Basic White 100# card base and Done!

Such a fun challenge, Hideko😀 You still have until the 24th to play along.

  1. That snowman is just too darned cute! Love the way you angled the face and hat too. A bit a glitter always adds something to the card and great framing too. Just a fun card, Nancy!

  2. Your snowman is so adorable with the tilted head, the heart-shaped eyes, and the holiday color buttons, Nancy! You did a great job of fussy-cutting! The sparkle of the glittery snow is beautiful and eye-catching. The bright red peeking through the die-cut frame is festive and pretty!
    Thank you so much for your kind words for me and sharing this cutie with us at CAS Christmas! Hugs.. Hideko

  9. What a simple fun Christmas card, love that you can stamp all the elements separately. I also love that scalloped frame, I have just had to go and see if there are any UK stockists. I found one that means yet another thing on my wishlist. As if I haven't got enough already! xx
