Peeking Snowmen

Hi friends - I'm sharing a couple snowman cards today using a new Hero Arts die - Peeking Snowman. I was inspired by the September Christmas Kickstart Challenge theme - Chillin' with my Snowmies and picked up the snowman die set last Thursday at my local craft store. Soooo cute!!

Supplies: Paper - Neenah Classic Crest Solar White;

Hero Arts Pitch Black and Artic cardstock

Paper Studio A2 aqua card; Authentique Magical Christmas;

Dies - Hero Arts Peeking Snowman

Stamps - Hero Arts Color Layering Seasonal Tree (sentiment)

Other - Copic Markers; foam tape; white gel pen;

Hero Arts pearls & lacquer (clear and sparkle)

Unlike other HA peeking dies, the snowman set has two separate hat options, plus a carrot nose die and holly die. I cut the body from white cardstock, plus black for the mittens and arctic for the scarf and hat band. I cut the nose and holly from white and colored with Copics, then cut the hat from black. Black pearls serve as the eyes. Added Copic shading to the snowman body, scarf & hat band and some white gel pen here and there. The dots on the scarf & holly leaves have sparkle lacquer & the berries have clear lacquer.

While I was die-cutting this morning, I cut a few more snowmen and finished one more card today. This time I used the other hat option, a cute stocking hat. The eyes are gems this time.

Additional Supplies:

Paper - Hero Arts Passion Flower;

My Mind's Eye Lime Twist

Stamps - Hero Arts Holiday Season Messages (sentiment)

Since my snowman die got first play today, I'm also adding card one to Darnell's September NBUS Challenge. Both of the sentiment stamps are new also - we'll be using those stamp sets for the upcoming Hero Arts Holiday 2023 Stamp-Along; can't wait!

Thanks for stopping & have a crafty day!
