Let's Create a Snowman for a Wreath
Hi there!
Today I'm sharing my first Clear Scraps project for the month of December!
For this project I am working with the Medium Snowman Shiplap Shape.
I started by tracing the snowman onto the back of a piece of heavy white glitter card stock.
Then I traced the outline of the snowman’s hat onto black card stock.
The tracings were cut out.
I adhered the cut outs to the front of the snowman shiplap shape.
I die cut some pink circles for cheeks, punched 2 black pieces for eyes and hand cut an orange nose.
Also pulled out some black twine for a mouth.
The twine was attached to the back of the pink cheek pieces with double sided tape.
Glue the eyes, nose and pink cheeks to the snowman’s face. I added some glue to the twine to form the mouth.
I die cut some snowflakes for embellishment.
A piece of washi tape was added as a band on the hat. A piece of ribbon was added as a scarf.
Since I plan on attaching my snowman to a wreath, I hot glued 2 pipe cleaners to the back.
I layered the die cut snowflakes and added snowflake gems.
The snowflakes were glued to the hat and scarf.
I pulled out a wreath which I had made previously.
Attach the snowman to the wreath by wrapping and twisting the pipe cleaners to the wreath backside.
Project is finished.
I did add the black circle die cuts to snowman’s body after I completed, as I realized I didn’t do so before! LOL!
Thanks for taking a look at my project! I hope I have provided a little bit of inspiration for you.

Winter Birthday Card
Hey there! I'm posting today with a Winter Birthday Card project for CutCardStock.
It’s not very often that I make birthday cards for a certain season. Do you do that? I usually just make them and figure they are appropriate for any time.
Materials
Mohawk Super Fine White Smooth 100 lb CardStock (a good alternative is the Cougar White Smooth CardStock), Lessebo Colors NAVY BLUE 83lb Cardstock, DCS Discount Card Stock: Canvas Textured Ginger Snap Card Stock, Winter Wonderland Prints 6×6 Card Stock pad – Assortment – 36 sheets
Deer Die, Sentiment Die, 2 Circle Dies, Embossing Folder, Markers and Adhesive
Starting
Having an idea of how to layout this card, I first chose one of the pattern papers and set the smaller circle die over the area to cut.
The Ginger Snap Card Stock is perfect for a deer. Use some markers to add a little color.
The card base is 5 x 6 1/2 inches and is cut from the Navy Blue Card Stock. Cut a piece 10 x 6 1/2 inches, score at 5 inches on the 10 inch side and fold in half.
A piece of the White Mohawk Card Stock is cut to 1/4 inch smaller than the navy. Emboss with a corner design embossing folder.
Adhere the white piece of card stock to the card base. Mat the pattern paper circle to the navy die cut circle.
Finishing
To finish up, adhere the die cuts as in the photo below.
My Winter Birthday Card is a simple design and I am happy with it!
I hope my card provides some inspiration for you to create a winter card. Thanks for taking a look!
