I LOVED Sandy's post last Wednesday using BasicGrey's Snowman Stamps.  I just had to share more ideas with you on projects I've completed with this versatile stamp set.

OH and I want to give a QUICK shout out to my Daddy - today is his Birthday!!  happy birthday dad!!

Build A Snowman Card
 
I have used this card example at an expo for a make & take, a mom & me holiday card making class and just a fun afternoon with a friend making our holiday cards.

Supplies needed
BasicGrey: Snowman Stamp Set
Inkpad
Black Pen
Glue sticks
Scissors
American Crafts: White Cardstock (4 cards per sheet)
Holiday pattern paper of choice (I have 3 6x6 paper pads)

Basic Grey - Jovial

Cosmo Cricket - Mitten Weather

Crate Paper - Snow Days

BasicGrey Jovial, Cosmo Cricket Mitten Weather and Crate Paper Snow Days. MemoryWorks also carries many other holiday lines that would work well too, contact your consultant to find out about the other fantastic lines.

This card is so easy even kids can participate!
 
Have them stamp, cut and paste their own snowman together!

A great afternoon with a friend and a latte.


Note: My friend Ann is not a scrapbooker.  She told me that it was really fun and easy to create!

Cutting the Cards

1. First cut, 8” x 12”
2. Next, cut three 8” x 4” pieces
3. Finally, cut your 4” x 12” piece to 4” x 8”. You will have a little excess square. 
4. Score each card to be 4” x 4” once folded. These will fit in a standard envelope.

Build your Snowman

1. Using one of the snowman base / body stamps, stamp the image on pattern paper of choice. Cut out around stamped image.
2. Adhere Snowman to the center of the 4” x 4” card
3. Pick out accessories for your snowman, stamp these images on coordinating pattern paper, cut out and adhere to the snowman. You can also stamp your arms directly to the card background at this time.

Tips and other ideas

• Use a black pen and draw an outline around the entire card
• Ink edges of the card using Ranger: Distress Ink
• Spray Ranger: Perfect Pearl Mists onto the background prior to adhering pieces to give a shimmer look.
• Stamp an image, such as a snowflake, to add a visual background.
• Stamp a greeting inside the card or small greeting on the card front (American Crafts has some ADORABLE ones this season as does My Minds Eye)

So what are you waiting for?  Start building your snowmen!!  There is no right or wrong.
