Snowman Season

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Hello and welcome, thanks for popping by!

I still have a few of my Christmas cards to show you, so will carry on with them until my birthdays for this year start.

This card was for Freddie, my youngest grandson.

All measurement are in centimetres
When dealing with nesting dies the smallest is 1
(nsu) = non stampin' up!, (r) = retired

Card Stock: Real Red 8.5 x 8.5 (scallop circle:, Thick Whisper White 29.7 x 10.5 scored at 14.85, Whisper White 3 pieces 8.5 x 8.5 (snowman), 10.5 x 2 (merry christmas), 11 x 4 (large banner)
DSP: Let it Snow 10.5 x 14.85 (cut down at 3 cm and reversed)
Dies: Layering Circles (scalloped 8) Stitched Nested Labels (3 and straight strip), Stitched Shapes (circle 4)
Inks: Coastal Cabana, Real Red, Tuxedo Black Memento
Punches: Triple Banner
Stamp Sets: Snowman Season
Stampin' Blends: Coastal Cabana, Gray Granite, Pumpkin Pie, Real Red
Accessories: Glitter (r), Stampin' Glitter
Grand Son sentiment (nsu)

Having created this card I feel the dsp layout would have been better the other way round (the short piece on the right) but I left it to late to change.

• Adhere the dsp using liquid glue to the front of the card base and add the ribbon to hide the join.
• Lightly sponge the large banner with coastal cabana, flag the one end using the triple banner punch and adhere with liquid glue just above the middle of the card.
• Stamp the snowman in memento ink and lay to one side, then stamp the Merry Christmas and do the same.
• Go back to the snowman and die cut using the stitched circle die,  colour the snowman using stampin' blends, once dry dab some liquid glue across the front gently then cover with the stampin' glitter (if you still have some, adhesive sheets are good for this).
• Use the triple banner punch to flag the ends of the Merry Christmas sentiment.
• Die cut the scalloped circle and adhere the snowman using liquid glue, then attach to the card base using dimensional pads.
• I then die cut the Grand Son (nsu) and adhered toward the bottom of the card.

Will be back again soon with more cards!
