Can you tell I love snowflakes and Snowman? This card is filled with all types of snowflakes and uses the Frosty stampset that is due to retire.

Cardstock: Shimmery White, Vellum (or I used Snowflake vellum I bought from Michael's)

Stampsets: The Snowflake Spot, Frosty, Snow Burst

Inks: Lavender Lace, Pixie Pink, Black

Other: Cuttlebug and snowflake embossing folder, dazzling diamonds, two way glue, Dimensinoals, Cricut machine for die-cut snowflakes (which you could have used a punch for as well)

Instructions: Stamp snowman on cardstock, color and cut out. Stamp snowflakes on the vellum using the 2 other inks (purple and pink).. Run the vellum through the Cuttlebug - embossed effect. Add two way glue and glitter to the "hill" for the snowman. Adhere all the pieces and add more glitter to snowflakes as desired. Lastly, add the die-cut or punched out snowflakes.

This is a fun card to do and is generic. You'll have fun with the brayer tool!

Cardstock: Bashful Blue, Night of Navy, Glossy White

Stampsets: Big on Christmas and The Snowflake Spot

Inks: Blue Frost spectrum pad, Black, Night of Navy and Bliss Blue classic ink pads

Other: White crayon, dazzling diamonds, and a brayer tool

Instructions: Stamp the image in black ink of the white glossy paper. Use the white crayon to color the letters and the snowman's face. Then ink and use the brayer tool and keep rolling over the image until the desired color is acheived. Use a napkin or paper towel to wipe off the paper - where the crayon is and the white will "pop" out. Then I used glitter and colored in the rest of the snowman with markers. Adhere all the layers of paper together. Then stamp the snowflakes so they overlap onto the glossy paper as well.
