Asela’s snowman family
I am sorry I have been quiet lately. The weekend was really busy. Yesterday I didn’t get done doing chores until about 3 p.m. Then the kids came home and Rebecca and I hung out outside with our neighbors. Rebecca loves the little toddler they had. It was a great day….but I didn’t get to stamp.
After not having stamped for a while, it’s always hard for me to get creative. Good thing I had new rubber laying around!!!
Asela Hopkins created this adorable stamps. You can find them at Cornish Heritage. Not having had new rubber fix from Stampin’ Up! for a while, I was excited to play with these cute stamps.
The card base is a sponged 4 1/4″ x 8 1/2″ piece of Blue Bayou cardstock.
Next is a 4″ square of Wintergreen Designer Paper that was paper pierced around the edges.
The snowman family was stamped on Shimmery White cardstock with Black Palette ink.
I colored them in with Aqua Painter and Classic inks (Certainly Celery, Always Artichoke, Close to Cocoa, Soft Sky, Blue Bayou and Going Gray).
I ran through the image through my Cuttlebug and cut it with Nestabilities dies into a scalloped square. It was layered on an Artichoke scallop square.
I then added glitter to the snowflakes and the snow on the floor with Star Dust Stickles.
I stamped the saying in Black Palette ink on Shimmery white and punched it out with the Key Tag punch. I layered it on a sponged piece of Blue Bayou cardstock and cut around it with scallop scissors.
I punched out two snowflakes with the Snow Blossom punch out of Acetate, added Star Dust Stickles on one and sandwiched the other on top of it. After that dried I added it to the saying with a Ice Circle Rhinestone brads.

OMW….Love it! I have seen this stamp set and now you have convinced me to reconsider it.
I have been searching for days for clear acetate snowflakes that I saw on a Sharon Harnist card a couple days ago. So, I can get sheets of acetate from somewhere???
Thanks for sharing this card:)

Great Card! Hanging around with neighbors is one of the main reasons I get behind! Some of my favorite memories of my life is being able to hang out with friends and talk. Enjoy it even if you don’t get everything done that you want!

You just can’t have enough snowman stamps !!! This is so cute and I’m glad that you had some extra time with Rebecca…stamping can always wait. This time flies by (as I’m sure you’re already well aware of)..my eldest daughter is 20 and it only seems like yesterday that we found out she was on the way into our lives.
Have a great day
