Dreaming of Snow Whilst Drowning in Rain

Hello, there.  How’s the weather where you are?  We were teased with a bit of snow two weeks ago, but since then, have endured days of rain.  If you have an overabundance of the white, fluffy stuff at your place, would you mind sending some my way?  My kids and I would love a good snow, enough for sledding and making snow cream.  In the meantime, I will try to make myself happy by creating the occasional snow-themed project, like today’s.  At least the rain gives me a good excuse to stay indoors and craft!

The design for this card was inspired by Your Next Stamp’s Sketch Challenge 55.  The snowman is from YNS Holiday Snow Globe, and the sentiment and snow border are from YNS Winter Wonderland Phoebe.  I stamped the snowman with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, cut him out with my ScanNCut2, and colored him with Copics.

To create the shaker, I partially die-cut a circle with MFT Stamps’ Inside/Out Stitch Circle STAX and trimmed the rest with my paper trimmer.  I embossed the bottom half of the panel with a snowflake embossing folder and backed the opening with clear acetate.  I adhered some patterned paper from Whimsy Stamps’ Winter Wishes paper pack onto my card and added the snowman on top.  The sequins are from Pretty Pink Posh, Doodlebug Designs, and Craftin Desert Divas.  I placed them on my card and popped up my embossed panel on top with foam tape.

For my greeting, I stamped the snowflake border onto a strip of blue cardstock and heat-embossed the sentiment in white.  I tied some twine around the strip and adhered it to my card.

Thanks for sharing your day with me.  I hope the rest of yours is fabulous!

I’m entering this card into the following challenges:  Your Next Stamp Sketch Challenge 55, Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge:  Chill Out, and The Heart Desires Challenge 8.
