Snowmen in Sweaters & Snow One Like You Winter Cards with Mendi

Hello and welcome! This is Mendi popping in to share some winter-themed holiday cards featuring our Snowmen in Sweaters Stamps and Snow One Like You Stamps. If you are scrambling to finish your holiday cards in time for Christmas, I think sending snowman cards works wonderfully for the entire winter season! Plus, who can resist an adorable snowman? They make me smile every single time.

My first card showcases four of the cute snowmen from the Snowmen in Sweaters Stamps. For both of my cards today, I stuck with a limited color palette of blue, pink, and green. I have been doing that a lot this season to have two cards to share that coordinate and look pretty together for my main photo, but I've enjoyed creating this way. It streamlines my creative process so I have one less decision to make, and I've been more satisfied with my completed cards that work with a specific color palette. 

Another thing I've really been trying to do is use up leftover stamps and die-cut pieces that didn't make it onto earlier cards, so I used the trees from the Christmas Home Stamps that I popped into my background to add some more complementary green color to pop against my pink sky (inked with Spun Sugar & Picked Rapsberry Distress Inks using the PinkFresh Studio Blending Brushes). I repeatedly stamped and heat-embossed the Frosty Flurries Stamps for my snowfall backdrop in a 2x2 grid pattern. I stamped the "warm winter wishes" greeting from the Snowmen in Sweaters set using PinkFresh Studio Seaside ink and added a snowy hill with the Slimline Nature Border Dies.

For my second card, I used the darling focal point image and sentiment from the Snow One Like You Stamps. I paired the girl and her snowman with the trees from the Winter Scenes Stamps and Snowmen in Sweaters Stamps. I then framed the little vignette with a Scalloped Oval 2 Mat cut from white cardstock and inked in the center with a light dusting of Salty Ocean Distress ink. I then die-cut the Scalloped Oval Mat 1 Dies and inked that up with the same Salty Ocean ink along the edges to tuck below and have peeking out of the eyelet lace holes of my first scalloped frame. I inked up a piece of pale pink cardstock with a light amount of Picked Raspberry Distress ink and then heat-embossed the swiss dot print using the Background Basics 2 Stamps. Lastly, I heat embossed the greeting from the set onto a Brilliant Banner 2 Die inked to match the same Salty Ocean pale blue color. The greeting included the word "else" but it made the sentiment too long to fit comfortably on my banner, so I pulled out my scissors to carefully cut the two words apart. It's extremely easy to line them back together the next time I use them, but it gave me the flexibility I needed for this card.

That wraps up my projects for today. Thanks so much for hanging out with me. I hope I've inspired you to spread a little happiness by sending out a card to someone you love. 💛

Snowman Kisses Card with Tina

Hi there crafty friends, Tina here with a Christmas card featuring one of the adorable cuties from the Snowman Kisses stamp and die set.

After creating a white card base, I cut a slightly smaller white panel with the outer die of the Frilly Frames Chevron set and added texture to this piece using the Dotted Diamond Portrait die.

Next, I worked on creating an oval frame from white card stock, I used the largest of the Scalloped Oval Mat 1 dies and a smaller oval from Stiched Ovals 2. The middle part of the frame will be my focal point, but I needed to cut an extra oval to create the two snowbanks. I was going for that winter frosty look, so the sky portion of my panel was inked up with Salty Ocean and Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide.

After selecting a cutie from the Snowman Kisses stamp, I colored him with my Copics, adding white details with a gel pen. Before assembling the scene, I needed to stamp the sentiment (Festive Greetings) directly to the focal panel with Versafine Onyx Black ink.

To assemble the card, I glued the rectangle and oval frame directly to the card base. Next, I inlayed the sky oval and mounted the snow border with foam tape, so I could tuck in the snowman. A trio of light blue snowflakes (Snowflake Circle Frame) were added in a triangle shape around the snowman. Each of them got embellished with a Champagne Clear Jewel. To finish this card I added a few branches (Winter Greenery dies) and a bow (Sweater Vest) to the top of the oval.

I loved combining all these amazing products and I hope you got inspired by this sweet scene. Thank you for joining me and happy crafting!
