Good Monday morning stamping friends and Happy Veterans Day. Thank You for your service and the sacrifices you’ve made!! Don’t forget to take a moment to thank a veteran today. My dad was a veteran of the Army for WWII. I remember him telling me many horrible stories of what he went through. My brother was a veteran of Vietnam, although he was out on medical discharge shortly after he enlisted. How was your weekend? Did you do anything fun? FINALLY last night we got a little rain after over 45 days of none. I was in my room reading and I heard something going on outside. I thought the wind had picked up for a minute then realized it was rain. We still need a lot more, but it’s a start.

I have a fun winter card for you today that can be used for any occasion. If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here is my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Snowman Hugs Cling Stamp Set along with the Nested Essentials Dies, Nests of Winter Designer Series Paper and Snowy Scenes Designer Series Paper for my card today.

My design is from Sunday Stamps In The Frame Challenge #348.

Adhere a panel of Nests of Winter DSP to a Basic White Thick card base using Liquid Glue. Adhere a strip of Snowy Scenes DSP to the side of the card front using Stampin’ Seal.

On a panel of Basic White, stamp the snowman image from Snowman Hugs stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. Stamp the snow image from Snowman Hugs stamp set in Pool Party Ink below the snowman image. Cut the image out using the largest rectangle from the Nested Essentials Dies. Color the image using Basic Black, Granny Apple Green, Pecan Pie, Petal Pink, Pool Party, Pumpkin Pie and Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends Markers. Adhere the artwork to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Basic White, stamp the sentiment from Snowman Hugs stamp set in Garden Green Ink. Cut a piece of Pool Party 5/8″ Pompom Ribbon in half. Adhere the ribbon to the top and bottom back of the sentiment. Adhere the sentiment to the card front using Glue Dots and Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a few Iridescent Pearls Basic Jewels to the card front.

Stamp the sentiment from Snowman Hugs stamp set in Garden Green Ink on a panel of Basic White. Adhere a strip of Nests of Winter DSP to the bottom of the panel. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Pool Party mat then to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base.

Finish the card by decorating a Basic White Medium Envelope. Stamp the snowman image from the Snowman Hugs stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. Color the image using Basic Black, Granny Apple Green, Pecan Pie, Petal Pink, Pool Party, Pumpkin Pie and Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends Markers. Adhere a panel of Snowy Scene DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you like the card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!
