Christmas in July - in the Meadow we can build a Snowman

Fur me, Christmas time isn't Christmas time without snowy winter weather (although I know this doesn't apply for many other parts of the world), so I can't forget about Mr. Snowman while planning this theme.

My frosty little fellow is so cute with his flower buttons and eyes he just invokes a big smile.
I really utilized the new tree builder punch to create him. I found that it's a very versatile punch with a bit of imagination.


He's the perfect size to hold mints or TicTac, and even a little clear bag of snowman poop inside his belly will work well.

You could also make him one sided (skip the second die piece) and turn him into a cute gift tag or card front.

Supplies used:
Cardstock: Recollections, Bazzill
Ink:  Mossy meadow, Tangelo Twist, Early Espresso, Marina Mist - all SU
Die: Curvy Keepsake - SU
Punches: see list noted in instructions below.
Misc.: black marker, white gel pen, rose/red chalk

Full punch art instructions below.



Thanks for stopping by! Hope to see you again soon for a few more Christmas inspired creations.

  3. Hi Slippers,
    Thank you for your comment.
    The die is noted under the supplies sued in my post (Curvy Keepsake), but I hadn't noticed that I forgot to add it on the punch art instruction sheet. Will have to update it tonight.
