It’s time to make a snowman! (card)

Hi there,

What an exciting time of the year! I have been getting lots of Christmas card orders which has been keeping me busy. I have sold a few of the snowman card, https://neens-cards.co.uk/product/its-snowing-lets-build-a-cute-snowman/. So todays tasks was to make a few more.

I thought I would share with you a few photos of me making this card.

To start with I have to cut the blue base out and then run it through my Sizzix Big Shot machine using Sizzix 3-D textured impression ‘staggered chevrons’ item 664761 Sizzix.co.uk. I like using this embossing sheet as it lifts the design. I thought it makes a ‘frosty’ pattern, perfect for a snowy background.

Using felt I then cut out the snowman and additional parts using the Sizzix BigZ die 662584. Some of this felt has glitter embedded in it which I love using for this card. I got mine from http://Hobbycraft (one of my favourite craft stores).

Once I have all my pieces cut out the fun begins. Using an all purpose clear glue I attach all the parts, usually getting most of the glue all over my fingers! As the snowman emerges I ensure there are three ‘coal’ buttons and not forgetting the orange carrot shape for a nose. Such a cute face, always makes me smile!

Once the design is complete I add it to a white A6 (10.5x15cm) card. The insert for this particular card has a ‘Happy Christmas’ message. The final part is to place one of Neens Designs stickers on the back of the card with a star (Neens-cards.co.uk).

I hope enjoyed todays blog

Take care and stay safe
