Frosty has been waiting patiently to be the focal point of a Christmas card, and today was his day. When he found out I needed circles for a card challenge, he said he was nothing but circles!

Frosty and Circles

 

I stamped Frosty, from the Snowman Season Stamp Set, in Smoky Slate Ink on Whisper White Cardstock. Then, he giggled with delight as I used the Snowman Builder Punch for cutting. The punch even made his stick arms. There’s also a hat that can be punched, but he chose not to wear it, wanting to emphasize his circular head. To look his best, he asked that I add a bit of color with Stampin’ Blends: Pumpkin Pie (carrot nose) Basic Black (charcoal eyes, mouth and buttons) Smoky Slate (shadowing).

 

Frosty chose Seaside Spray for his background, feeling it was his most flattering color. I used the largest Ornate Layers Die for cutting the Seaside Spray layer, which I glued to the Thick Whisper White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.

 

Prior to gluing the layer, I embossed it with the Winter Snow Embossing Folder, because Frosty wanted as much snow as possible. And, he wanted me to add some Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon, because it looked like snowballs. It does, doesn’t it?

 

Next, I used the Layering Circles Dies to cut two circles of Seaside Spray Cardstock, and two scalloped circles of Whisper White Cardstock for layering. The larger circle was glued flat, and Frosty was attached with Dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment on the smaller circle, and attached it with Dimensionals. “Let it snow” is from the Snowman Season Stamp Set, stamped in Memento Black Ink.

Frosty is confident he will make the recipient smile. 

 

I was inspired by TGIF, “Going in Circles.”
