Christmas Snowman Slimline

Hi Crafty Friends,
It's Christmas in July with Brass & Bliss. I have a slimline snowman Christmas card featuring Brass & Bliss Snowmen with Presents 3336, Brass & Bliss Slimline OPC Scallop Die 5322-01D, and Brass & Bliss Merry Christmas with Shadow Die 5515-12D. I just love how whimsical these cute snowmen are and they are perfect for each window of the die.

Make Crafty Friends Q & A:
Q: Have you ever bought a Christmas present for someone in the summer?
A: Me? No, I would totally forget where I stored it. 

Step #1: I die cut the 3 scalloped squares from the Brass & Bliss Slimline OPC Scallop Die in three different pattern papers. Next, I die cut the outline out of red cardstock and mounted my background on white cardstock.




Step #2: I colored the Snowmen with Presents with Copic Markers Reds: R39,R37,R29, Darker Greens: G28,G09,G05, and Lime Greens: YG07, YG05,YG03. I arranged them in the various windows of the die.

Step #3: I finished my card with the Christmas sentiment die cut from green and white cardstock and mounted at the bottom of my card.

    Meghan, I love this card! The colors are so bright and fun and the patterned paper adds so much interest. That die is really nice too. As for the Christmas presents, yes, I do buy not only in summer but all year long. I store them in one spot and that way shopping is easier in December. But I have forgotten some at times too! Thanks so much for playing along with us at Word Art Wednesday. We love seeing your cards!

    Adorable trio of snow people on this card! Lots of bright colors and details. I love the die cut frame and the Christmas sentiment is awesome. I think I need to add them to my stash. Yes, I start my Christmas shopping early in the year and store in one area also only because I've forgotten where gifts are too until after the holiday! Thanks for sharing with A Cut Above's July, "Anything Goes With A Die Cut" Challenge.

    Meghan, I'm with you - I never buy Christmas gifts in the summer (I would never have any idea where I hid them 6 months later!). I'm working on my Christmas cards this month, too. I always enjoy seeing your ideas, and admire your wonderful Copic coloring!! Thank you for sharing your creativity and cards with us at Double Trouble!!! -Donna
