This is one of my favorite cards to make. I think it's a fun one! I made a similar one last year (http://heatherporto.blogspot.com/search/label/STAMPSET-Big%20on%20Christmas) with navy and bashful blue - which do you like better?

Stamps

Big on Christmas
Snow Swirled

Inks

Kiwi Kiss
Pacific Point
Sky Blue (retired)
Basic Black or Staz-on Black

Paper

Glossy White
Kiwi Kiss
Pacific Point

Stampin' Up! Accessories

Brayer Tool
Dazzling Diamonds
Two-way Glue Pen
Stampin' Write Markers

Other Accessories

A Crayon

Instructions

Stamp "Let it Snow" stamp in Basic Black on the Glossy White paper. I have used Staz-on Black as well in the past.
Using a crayon, color in the word/letters of "SNOW" and the snowman's face.
Then, roll the brayer tool in Sky Blue and roll over the glossy paper.
Then, roll the brayer tool in Kiwi Kiss and roll over the glossy paper.
Then, roll the brayer tool in Pacific Point (then roll several times on paper to lighten the color) and roll over the glossy paper more towards the outside.
Then use a napkin to rub off the crayon.
Color with marker as desired on the snowman's hat, and add glitter where desired (I glittered the hat).
With the Kiwi Kiss cardstock panel in place, stamp some snowflakes from the Snow Swirled set in Kiwi Kiss as well as Pacific Point. Some snowflakes will over lap on the glossy paper edges, some will be completely on the glossy panel, others completely on the Pacific Point cardstock.
Now flip over the Kiwi Kiss paper. Adhere the glossy paper to it. Using two-way glue spot where you want glitter on the snowflakes.
Then adhere it to the Pacific Point card front with dimensionals

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.
