CAS Christmas Card October Challenge

hosted by the very talented Marcia!

I have been so inspired by the DT and their Guest Designer, the very
 Fun and Creative Darnell aka Dolly!




I used my new to me Penny Black "Snowy" snowman stamp!

I am thrilled how my adorable Snowy turned out with his paper pieced
hat and scarf using a scrap piece of old SU Red Gingham Designer Paper.
Here are a couple more cards I made with the same scrap paper:-)

I stamped Snowy onto SU Basic White 100# CS using Versafine Black ink and
heat EB with SU Clear EB powder.
Next stamped and heat embossed Snowy onto the Red Gingham DP.
Then fussy cut the Gingham Snowy using my SU papersnips.

Then I die cut the SU Basic Gray CS using Spellbinders Rectangle Hemstitch dies.
Attached fussy cut Gingham Hat & Scarf (all one piece) to Snowy.
Used Grey Zig marker to add grey tones to Snowy and to ground Snowy.

Then popped up Snowy using craft foam.
Added STAMPlorations "Merry Everything" Clear Stickers sentiment and Done!
I loved the results and hope you do too:-)

You have until the 24th to play along with the CAS Christmas Card Challenge!

Love and hugs..

  13. Nancy, this is probably the most beloved snowman ever and you've made him all the more adorable with his gingham hat and scarf. I love that you even made his nose gingham, tee hee! I see that little patch on the side. So cute! Don't forget to play along sometime in our Peace on Earth challenge, too. Just sayin'. Hugs!
