Designer's Choice: Snowman Kisses Card with Nicky

Hi! This is Nicky with you today on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog and I hope everyone has been enjoying their holidays these past few days. I'm sharing a card I made and sent to a family member in the UK where we say Happy Christmas (Xmas) almost more than we say Merry Christmas, hence the sentiment. Read on for all the details.

Inspired by peppermint and candy canes I selected to use pinks, white and reds for this project. I took a panel of pink cardstock and I die cut it using the Dotted Diamond Portrait Die. I backed this panel with white craft foam and applied it to an A2 white panel and then to my card base.

I used the Slimline Nature Borders Die to create some snow to ground the snowmen and glued it in place.

I stamped the snowmen from Snowman Kisses and coloured with the following Copic marker combinations:

Snowmen - C3, C1, C0
Red - R59, R39, R29
Pink Cheeks - RV63, RV52, RV00
Black - T9, T6, T5, T4
Brown - E49, E77, E44, E43
Green - YG45

I used a white gel pen to add designs to the scarf and highlight certain points to make them pop and then I die cut the images using the coordinating Snowman Kisses Die. Each image was backed with foam tape and applied to the background.

For the bold sentiment I used the Chloe Alphabet Die. I die cut the required letters once from red cardstock and twice from sturdy white cardstock and glued the letters in stacks with the red top layer slightly offset to the right so the white underneath acts as a highlight. I used some of the red Copic markers listed above to add shading to the lettering so that it had a more 3D appearance and then I glued the letters in place.

The finishing touch was to add some playful snowflake embellishments throughout the scene and I highlighted the sentiment and then this card was ready to send!

Thank you for coming by the blog today and I wish you all a very happy new year!
