Create a festive Merry Christmas Snowman Card with falling snow, evergreen trees and cardinals to complete the scene.

If you have followed me for a while you know that I love making snowman scene cards for my family and friends.  For my post today I used the Brass and Bliss Stacked Arches, Winter Snowmen, Deckle Hills, Evergreen Tree,  Small Birds, Tiny Leaves #1 and a sentiment from the Christmas Cheer Gnomes set to make my Merry Christmas snowman card.

I love the Stacked Arches set and how the possible uses are endless.  The arched snowy layer created a perfect background for my snowman card.

Arched Snow Base

• Cut the two arched layers using red and white cardstock.
• Emboss the snow pattern on the white layer, attach it to the red and attach them both to the card base.  I used the Tim Holtz Snowfall Speckles folder.
• Cut two Deckle Hills snow layers and attach them to the scene base.

Snowman, Trees and Birds

• Crimp the three trees, tuck them in behind the back snow layer and attach in place using pieces of mounting tape. Pro Tip:  I love using my crimper to add dimension to elements on my cards.  Do you have a long ago purchased crimper buried somewhere in your stash?  You may want to get it out, dust it off and create more dimension and interest to your cards.
• Cut the snowman elements and attach them together with glue and rolled up double stick tape.  Pro Tip: I wanted my snowman to look a little less formal so I trimmed the corners off of the top hat with the snips to create a different hat..  
• Tuck the snowman in behind the front snow layer and attach using  mounting tape.
• Finish the Merry Christmas snowman card with the tree red birds.  Pro Tip: The birds draw the eye up to the empty sky area to complete the scene.

I have made so many cards with snowmen over the years and you can see more of them in my Snowmen Category.
