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. 💛

Snow One Like You Card with Tina

Hi there crafty friends, Tina here and today we are creating a sweet holiday card with the adorable Snow One Like You stamp and die set. I love that the cute girl and her snowman!

I colored this image with my Copics and added white highlights with a gel pen. Next, I pulled a red card base from my stash and cut a white panel with the outer die of the Frilly Frames Chevron set. We will use this piece to build the entire background of this scene card.

To start, I stamped the tree scene from Scenic Route directly on to this panel and used my Copics again for the coloring. To mimic the snow on the trees I added a bunch of fine lines with my white gel pen. I repeated this step on a separate piece of white card stock, but this time I only focused on the lower three pines. I used my scissors to fussy cut these trees, traced the outline with a black marker and glued them to the left of the panel filling in that part of the scene.

I wanted a dramatic sky, which I created with a cloud stencil from my stash and a combo of Saltwater Taffy and Kitsch Flamingo Distress Oxide inks. After mounting the girl and her snowman to the scene, I added lots of white snowflakes with a white paint marker.

My sentiment was pulled from the Inside Greetings Holiday set and stamped on a white banner with Versafine Onyx Black ink. To add more interest to the sky I added lots of little white stars (Snowflake Circle Frame die).

And that finishes my card, I hope you are having fun creating your holiday projects! Thank you for joining me and happy crafting!
