What’s cuter than a smiling snowman? A smiling snowman juggling snowballs, named Frosty! If you haven’t noticed this little guy before, he’s in the Snowman Season Stamp Set, a favorite from the Annual Catalog, page 93.

I stamped Frosty in Misty Moonlight Ink, and used my Paper Snips for fussy cutting. He thought he deserved a die for cutting, but said there was a punch for a big guy in the set, the Snowman Builder Punch #150643, page 149.

Frosty

Frosty said I could design the card as I liked, as long as it was blue and white with lots of snow so he wouldn’t melt. I began with an icy, Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. Then, I glued two large, Wonderful Snowflakes embellishments, in the upper corners. The snowflakes really are wonderful, because they have an opalescent shine, and you get 24 in a pack. They are in my Product List below.

Next, I used a Stitched Rectangles Die (1 1/4″ X 3 1/4″) to cut three rectangles from Harvest Meadow Designer Paper. I cut three more from Night Of Navy Cardstock to layer the rectangles for thickness, and attached them with Dimensionals. Eyeballing it, I began in the middle, so they could be evenly spaced.

Frosty said he wanted to say, “Hoping this season builds heartwarming memories,” and I would find it in his stamp set, Snowman Season. I agreed it was a good sentiment, and stamped it in Night of Navy Ink on blue and white, In Good Taste Designer Paper. Then, I used a smaller Stitched Rectangles Die (2 3/4″ X 3/4″ approximately) for cutting. 

After a bit of a snowflake was glued beneath the label, Frosty hopped on, and the label was attached with Dimensionals. This is when Frosty yelled, “What about my snowballs?” So, I found snowballs, just his size, among the Sequins for Everything.

One last request; a decorated envelope flap with snowflakes. Frosty said it would be easy with a stamp from his set, stamped in Misty Moonlight Ink. How could I say no to a cute juggling snowman? You can see it in the first photo.

I was inspired by the Paper Players.
