Our Christmas dies are still available in the online store. And, there is still time to get some to create this year's Christmas cards. We have Christmas Part 1 (22 new designs), Christmas Part 2 (21 new designs) and Christmas Part 3 (11 new designs).
Today, for your viewing pleasure I have a card featuring the new Snowman & Owl Pal die. It's one of those whimsical dies from the Christmas Part 3 collection that makes for a really cute Christmas card. I created it for a friend who lives out in Washington. They don't get much snow so I thought a snowman card would be a cute one for her. Let's get started on some details of how I created my card.
Design Steps:
My card this week started with the color challenge #821 on Splitcoaststampers. The colors were limiting but the optional item was to make a snowman. We have so many really cute snowman dies this year so I knew I was in for the challenge. Our colors were bermuda bay, silver and pumpkin pie. Neutrals are allowed in this challenge and I used black, white and a few shades of brown .

I managed to find some scraps of bermuda bay designer paper to use for the snowman's jacket and the owls hat. That made things a little easier. Then I used bermuda bay cardstock for his scarf, buttons, hat band and pockets.
For the background, I embossed with a snowflake swirl embossing folder. I like the visual interest it gave to my card.
I cut a snow slope and used chunky glitter on the top of the slope. Stamped my sentiment in bermuda bay ink.
I am ready to start card assembly. I attached the embossed panel with double sided tape and the snow slope with dimensional adhesive.
And, that completes my card for this week. I hope you are making progress on your Christmas cards. I have my cards out in the mail. Now I am ready to bake and make some candy for gift giving. See you next Saturday.
