Simple Snowman

I just love this set! As soon as I saw it in the new catalog I knew that I had to have it.

I collect snowmen, and pretty much have every snowman stamp set in the current catalog. This stamp set in particular really caught my eye because I have snowman decorations that look almost identical to this set, so I took that as a sign that I HAD to purchase this set…LOL! Another reason I love this set is it makes a really quick and simple card. Pair that with the “Wintergreen” Designer Series Paper (DSP) and you are flying through your Holiday cards!

The card to the left was a card I designed for a recent “playshop”(I heard someone at a workshop call it a playshop because she felt like she was a little kid playing with the stamps, I thought it was cute). The base of the card is Always Artichoke card stock (4 1/4″ x 11″) layered with DSP (3″x4″ ….this will give you 12 equal pieces of DSP and you won’t waste a bit!!).

The snowman is stamped with Basic Black Classic Ink and then colored with Always Artichoke, Sage Shadow, Certainly Celery, and Pumpkin Pie. This image is layered onto Sage Shadow and Always Artichoke card stock (each layer is 1/4″ larger to make a border that is 1/8″ around) and attached to the card base with dimensionals. Soft Sky Double-stitched Ribbon is tied around the top.

If you would like to make this card for the Holidays, now is the time to order that Designer Series Paper. Take advantage of the Paper Party promotion and pick one pack of Designer Series Paper FREE with every three packs of Designer Series Paper.

Happy Stamping!
