Vintage Snowman

As a card creator, I like to make multiples of cards as I create. There is one exception. My Mother In Law always gets a snowman card and hers is always one of a kind. Hi, it’s Patty and I am going to show you how I created two very different Vintage Snowman cards for Christmas. Now I have to choose which one to give her!

Supplies

Cougar White Cardstock:

Pop-Tone Wild Cherry Cardstock:

Pop-Tone Sno Cone Cardstock:

DCS Bonsai Cardstock:

Pop-Tone Gum Drop Green Cardstock:

Astro Bright Eclipse Cardstock:

Glitter Silk Silver Cardstock:

Honey Bee Stamps Vintage Snowman Die Set

Tailored Expressions Winter Flurry Embossing Folder

Simon Says Stamp Fir Tree Branches Embossing Folder

Waffle Flower Cut Lines Die Set

Spellbinders Make It Merry Die Set

Getting Started

First, I embossed my panel out of Sno Cone cardstock with the Winter Flurry embossing folder. Next, I used my Hero Arts Unicorn White ink and dragged my ink pad over the embossed (raised) side of my card panel.

Next, I embossed my Gum Drop Green card panel with the Fir Tree Branches embossing folder. I dragged my Deck The Halls ink pad over the debossed (impressed) side of the card panel.

Now my background panels are ready!

Next Steps

To add just a light touch of shading to my snowmen, I used my Copic markers in BG0000 and BG000 to create rounding lines on the sides of the snowman’s body and head. I glued the parts of the snowman’s top hat and the Santa hat and mittens together. To get stripes on the candy cane, I colored the candy cane with my R29 Copic marker. I wanted to get shadows on the scarf for the snowman so I used Copic markers G07 and YG67 to color the green scarf. To add a little pizzaz, I colored dots on the scarf with my white gel pen.

Next, I cut out snow banks for the red snowman. I added shading on the hat and mittens using Copic markers R29 and R39. To get the stripes on his scarf, I drew them on with my white gel pen.

Lastly, I cut out all of the greenery and sentiments I would need for these two cards. I assembled the snowman and set them on their card bases so I could add their greenery to the bottom.

Finishing Up

To complete the card, I glued the greenery to the base of both cards. I added some silver greenery to the card with the green background. Next, I glued down the snowmen to their card bases. Then I added the sentiments and finished up with some Ruby Red Hero Arts sequins.

Thank you so much for joining me today! I hope you have a fabulous week!
