Christmas Kitsch Snowman Card

I just got the new Anna Griffin Christmas Kitsch cartridge, so of course I had to make a card.  This snowman caught my eye so I decided to start with him.

I cut the snowman out at 5" using my Cricut Explore machine.  The base of the snowman is cut from some olive green paper. The top  layer of course is from white. After cutting the layers I sprayed the white layer with some general purpose adhesive and covered it with some Hero Arts Prisma fine glitter. I hope you can see the sparkle on him.

For my card I started with a 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" white card base. I added a red mat cut at 4" X 5 1/4" and then my patterned paper mat cut at 3 7/8" X 5 1/8".   I rounded the two outside corners using my Corner Chomper and the 1/2" side.

I layered the red  mat and the patterned paper mat together and then wrapped some bakers twine around the card 3 times and then tied it in a knot in the center of the card.  I then added those two layers to my card base. My snowman is attached to the card with some foam tape.

My sentiment is embossed with some WOW! opaque white embossing powder. It says, Snowmen are built on flake at a time.

Embossed Resist Christmas Card

I picked up this Penny Black stamp today and knew right what I wanted to do with it. I started with a piece of white card stock cut to 4" X 5 1/4". I stamped my image with some Versamark and then embossed it with some WOW! Clear embossing powder.

Next, I used my Tim Holtz Blending tool and some distress ink to ink the entire piece of card stock. I used Tumbled Glass, Broken China, and Chipped Sapphire on my card. I then used some Rouge Liquid Pearls and randomly added some red berries to my tree for a pop of color. Once those were dry I used my big Chisel tip Zig Two-Way glue pen and created a snow drift under my tree and added some Hero Arts Prisma glitter to it and let it dry. Finally I stamped my sentiment with some Colorbox White ink and then embossed it with some WOW! Neutral Ultra Shimmer Glitter embossing powder.

Finally I adhere my card front to a piece of white card stock cut and scored to make a 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" card.
