MM #103 : SNOWMAN CHRISTMAS

I am thrilled this week to be a Guest Designer at Merry Monday, my favourite Christmas Card Challenge site. 

Here's the brief for this week's challenge:


 
 
As a Stampin' Up! demonstrator, I like to use Stampin' Up! products almost exclusively on my cards.  However, I went into a mild panic with this challenge, because I don't own a snowman stamp from SU!  I realised I have a cute, uninked, snowman stamp in a Papertrey Ink stamp set, so all was not lost!
 
 
 
 
Stamps: Holiday Button Bits (PTI), Sassy Salutations
Card: Cherry Cobbler, Whisper White, Crumb Cake
DSP: Season of Style Designer Series Paper
Ink: Jet Black Staz-On inkpad, Crumb Cake stampin' pad and marker, Whisper White craft stampin' pad, Pumpkin Pie marker
Other: Neutrals button, Paper-piercing tool and Stampin' Pierce Mat, Natural Chevron ribbon (reverse), Baked Brown Sugar stretch ruffle trim, Cherry Cobbler baker's twine, White baker's twine, Deco Labels framelits, stampin' sponge, glue dots, Multipurpose liquid glue, Stampin' Dimensionals
 
 
Many thanks to the Merry Monday DT for picking my card as a winner, and therefore giving me the opportunity to be a Guest Designer for this week's challenge - it has been great fun!
