This Snowman Card Sports Some Felt For a Fresh Look!

I decided to change things up a little bit on this super cute snowman card by making all the snowman parts – except for the nose – out of felt! I surrounded him with evergreen trees on pretty blue tag background, cheerful cardinals and falling snow.  If I had it to do over again I would double layer the white  parts to create a more pure white body.

For this project I used the Rubbernecker Stamps Snowman, Deckle Hills, Nested Tag Stitch, Evergreen Trees, Cardinals, Greenery #2, Tiny Leaves and Nested Rectangle X Stitch.

The Snowman

• Cut the snowman parts out using white, black, red felt and orange cardstock.
• Use Crafter’s Pick glue to attach the pieces together and allow to dry.
• Embellish the snowman with tiny holly leaves and berries on the hat and scarf.

Create the Scene

• Cut a snow layer using white cardstock and a tag base using blue cardstock.
• Use the tag die to cut the snow layer to create a perfect match for the blue tag base.
• Apply strips of mounting tape to the back of the snow layer and attach it to the blue tag.
• Attach strips of mounting tape to the back of the trees and attach them to the tag base.
• Tuck the snowman in behind the snow layer and attach him to the trees using pieces of mounting tape.
• Cut three cardinals using red cardstock, color the beaks with a black marker and attach to the scene using pieces of mounting tape.
• Create falling snow by applying dots of white Nuvo Crystal Drops on the tag base, trees and a few dots on the snowman hat and scarf.

The Card Base

I originally planned on using this snowman as a Christmas tag but I liked it so much I decided to put it on a red and white card base to use as a Christmas card.

• Use red cardstock to cut the X stitch layer and attach it to the white card base using strips of mounting tape.
• Cut the greenery branches using white cardstock.
• Apply Crafter’s Pick glue to the branches, sprinkle with clear glitter and allow them to dry.
• Arrange the branches on the top left corner and attach using glossy accents.
• Finish by tying a red multi loop bow and attaching it to the greenery arrangement using glue dots.  Note:  Check out my multi loop bow video tutorial if you would like to see how I made my bow.
