Another Northwoods Snowman

Here is another cute Snowmanfrom Northwoods Rubber Stamps.  I did three of them, and  had originally planned on using these Snowmenon a different card, but the design didn't work.  But these Sonowmen just had to be used!  Here are the cards I made with them:


And a couple of close ups:

To make these cards, I used:

  • Northwoods Rubber Stamps - Snowman With Presents, Scarf and Broom
  • Faber Castell Polychromos Colored Pencils
  • Darice Embossing Folder 
  • Neat & Tangled - Christmas Pageant
  • Lawn Fawn - Perfectly Plaid Christmas Paper Pad
  • Simon Says Stamp - Stitched Circles Die
To make the cards, I stamped the images on white card stock, and colored them with the colored pencils.  These were then cut out using the Stitched Circles dies.  I then embossed another piece of white card stock, and added it to the card base.  A solid color (either red or green) was cut and added to the white.  Then squares cut from the plaid paper were cut and added.  The circle was added and the sentiment (from the Neat & Tangled) was added to complete the card.

Northwood Rubber Stamp Snowman Card

I've always like Northwoods Rubber Stamps (I wish I could afford all of them!).  I also am so happy that they are now offered in Cling format, it helps with storage.  This year purchased the "Snowman with Presents, Scarf and Broom" Cling Stamp set.  Here is the card I made with one of the snowmen from the set.



I used the following for the card:

  • Northwoods Rubber Stamps - Snowman with Presents, Scarf & Broom Cling Stamp Set
  • Faber Castell Polychromos Colored Pencils
  • Simon Says Stamp Stitched Rectangles
  • Memento Tuxedo Black Ink
This was a simple card to make.  I stamped the image with the Memento ink, colored with Faber Castell colored pencils, cut the image with the Stitched rectangle die, matted the image and added it to the card base.

Let it Snow - Christmas Card

When I first saw this snowman, I knew I had to have the die,  He is just so cute!  And it uses a lot of scrap pieces of paper!  Here is the card:

To make the card, I used:

  • Deco Foil Transfer Gel
  • Gina K Fancy Foils - Sparkling Silver
  • Creative Expression - Sue Wilson - Let it Snow Die, Build a Snowman Die set
  • Memory Box - Winter Tiny Snowflakes Stencil
  • Lawn Fawn - Stitched Hillside Die
  • Heidi Swapp - Toner Sheets, Red Minc Foil
To make the card, I cut out all of the pieces for the Snowman and Light using a variety of scrap pieces of paper.  I assembled the Snowman and light.  The hill was cut from white paper.  I trimmed a piece of light blue paper, slightly smaller than the card base.  Using the stencil, transfer gel was added.  Once dry, the Sparkling Silver foil was added using my Minc machine.  I cut the Let It Snow from toner sheets, and added the red foil.  All of the pieces were then added to the card base to complete the card.
