Frosty the Snowman Christmas card Dr Digi’s House of Stamps

Today I am back with another card for the C.R.A.F.T. Challenge blog. The theme of this week is “Christmas”. This time I decided to make a Snowman Christmas card.

For this challenge, I got to work with an image from Dr. Digi’s House of Stamps. The digital stamp is “Frosty the Snowman“.

Let’s talk about how I made this card.

• You need a piece of cardstock measuring 21 centimetres by 15 centimetres. Score at the long side at 10,5 centimetres.
• Piece of white cardstock measuring 10 centimetres by 14,5 centimetres.
• A piece of blue cardstock measuring 9,5 centimetres by 14 centimetres.
• A piece of white cardstock to die cut from.
• And DCP paper to print your digi stamp on.

I created a background for another card, but now I’m working on this Snowman Christmas card and I think this background would suit it better. I used blue cardstock to create the background, which allowed me to avoid inking the entire panel.

I started with the darkest colour at the edge of the cardstock, gradually making it lighter towards the middle. Unfortunately, I didn’t jot down the colours that I used.

After allowing the ink on the panel to dry, I proceeded to heat emboss the snowflakes and stars in the background. To achieve this, I made use of my stencil and applied the sticky embossing ink onto the panel. I then sprinkled some white embossing powder on top of the ink and heat-set it. This resulted in a beautiful, shiny background.

I printed my image on DCP paper. I coloured the Frosty the Snowman digital stamp with my alcohol markers.

• Snowman: Blue Grey 3 (BG3), Blue Grey 1 (BG1) and Colorless Blender (0).
• Nose: Deep Yellow (31), Deep Saffron (279) and Amber (266).
• Scarf: Teal Blue (184), Mint Macaron (180) and Aqua Min (179).
• Hat: Black (120), Gool Grey 8 (CG8), Cool Grey 5 (CG5) and Cool Grey 4 (CG4).
• Arm: Chocolate (118), Clay (116) and Walnut (100).

To start with, I die-cut a snow hill and placed the snowman on it. The snowman gives me the impression that he is singing, so I decided to add some musical notes to the card too. I felt that the card needed some shine, so I applied Paper Glaze to the scarf, the hat’s band, and the musical notes. Unfortunately, the glaze is not very visible in the photos. Finally, I added the sentiments to complete the card.

I hope you like this Snowman Christmas Card! Let me know in the comments. Hope you will join us in the challenge and I see you there on the blog. And when you are there be sure to check the creations of my other design team members.
