Have you ever seen a juggling snowman? Well, look no further!

Juggling Snowman

This adorable snowman is from the Snowman Season Stamp Set in the Stampin’ Up! 2019 Holiday Catalog. I stamped him in Memento Black Ink on Whisper White Cardstock, and used my Paper Snips for fussy cutting (cutting by hand). A little color was added with two Stampin’ Blends: Dark Pumpkin Pie for his carrot nose, and Light Smoky Slate for definition.

He wanted to stand by a Christmas tree, so I punched one out from the 6X6 Wrapped in Plaid Designer Paper, using the Pine Tree Punch. Evidently, the snowman loved the tree, and got so excited, he started juggling snowballs made of Sparkle Glimmer Paper.

TIP: I first tried making the snowballs with the 1/2″ Handheld Punch, but the snowman complained they were too big and heavy. Fortunately, there’s a small, round die in the Seasonal Layers Die Set, just the right size.

“Let It Snow” is one of the sentiments in the Snowman Season Stamp Set, which seemed perfect for this scene. I stamped it in Shaded Spruce Ink on Whisper White Cardstock, and the snowman wanted to watch me fussy cut it, so I did.

The three large snowflakes are cut with a Seasonal Layers Die from Sparkle Glimmer Paper.

The background is a stripe from 6X6 Wrapped In Plaid Designer Paper. I chose this vertical stripe to emphasize the “tall & skinny” shape of this card.

I cut a second piece of Wrapped in Plaid DSP to decorate the inside, and added “Merry Christmas” from the Snowman Season Stamp Set. It was stamped in Shaded Spruce Ink on Whisper White Cardstock, and cut with a Stitched Rectangles Die.  I made it large enough for a personal note.

It’s hard to believe this is my first 3 1/2″ X6″ card, but the Paper Players challenge this week was my incentive. I discovered it was easy, because I had 12X12″ Whisper White Cardstock, from which I cut a 3 1/2″ strip,  and scored at 6″.
