Sweet Snowman

Inspiration: Tuesday Morning Sketches #710

Back when I received the Santa and snowman die-cut sets from Doodlebug, I looked through my scraps and put one of each together. The result is just so cute! I am happy that Doodlebug had decided to add the Doodle die cuts to their line because they are easy to put together and the result totally has the typical Doodlebug cuteness factor.

I knew those would be great for the Christmas cards I am preparing for the children's hospital. They had been put aside for a while now, but when I saw the Tuesday Morning Sketch, I remembered that in my pile of dry-embossed cardstock (that I had done when I was destashing and trying to decide which embossing folders to get rid of) had an embossed oval that would work with the sketch. I picked washi tapes that matched my snowman and then I started assembling the scene. The little gifts were supposed to go with Santa, but they helped fill the bottom of the card a bit. I stamped and gold-embossed Joy on Candy Red cardstock from Tonic, punched it with my ticket punch and added a gold border with a Posca pen. I added Fairy Crystals to the ornaments on the tree, enamel dots to the snowman's buttons and mini enamel dots to the gifts' bows. I also added two gold dots at the top of the card where the washi meets. I repeated the same washi on my teal envelope to make it match the card.
