Baby it’s cold outside! The chill in the air sure did get me in the mood to stamp this chilly scene using Stampin’ Up’s new stamp set “Jolly Old Saint Nick”.
Now my friend and Stampin’ Up – Up Line Karen Barber would tell you “it just isn’t right for a snowman to have legs”, lol. But this little guy is just too darn cute, even with legs. What’s your opinion, legs or no legs for snowman? You may have never even thought about the subject. 🙂
Anyway, let’s get started on today’s tutorial. . . . . .

On a 3.25″ x 6.5″ piece of Whisper White card stock, stamped the snowman by first loading my stamp with Versamark and the loaded it with Basic Black ink before stamping it.
Heat embossed the image using clear embossing powder and a heat gun.
Colored the scarf, mittens and ribbon on his hat using a Cherry Cobbler marker.
Added shadowing on the snowman using a Sahara Sand marker.
Added a bit of color to his cheeks with a Blush Blossom marker.
Colored over the snowman, staying within the lines using a Versamark marker. Color the dark colors first, clean the marker on scap paper and then color over the white part of the snowman. Be careful the color parts will smear if you are not careful.
Heat emboss the image using clear embossing powder and a heat gun. Your image should be fully covered now. If there are any dimples in your embossing repeat the Versamark marker and embossing powder/heating.
Stamp the swirl from the Stampin’ Up set Priceless twice using Versamark only. Heat emboss the images using clear embossing powder and a heat gun.
Make random dots all over the card stock using the Versamark marker. Heat emboss the dots using clear embossing powder and a heat gun.
Rip a hill in a post it note and mask. Brayer Baja Breeze ink at the top of the card stock, down to the hill.
Brayer Not Quite Navy ink at the top of the card stock.
Rip another post it note in a hill shape and mask the entire bottom of the card stock.
Brayer Baja Breeze ink at the bottom of the unmask area, be careful not to cover the top of the hill.
Move the mask down and over to the left. Brayer Baja Breeze ink and a little Not Quite Navy at the bottom.
Remove all the masks. Brayer Baja Breeze ink at the bottom of the card stock.
Brayer Not Quite Navy ink at the very bottom of the card stock.
Gently wipe the ink off of the embossed images.
Using the Stampin’ Up Mat Pack template, colored in circles down the right side of the card stock using a Baja Breeze marker.
Wi
Cut a 5″ x 6.5″ Baja Breeze card stock panel. Sponged Not Quite Navy ink down the right side of the card stock.
Cut a Whisper White Swirly Die Cut using the Big Shot Machine.
Adhered the main image panel to the Baja Breeze Panel, Swirly Die Cut to the right side of the card stock.
Used a Prismacolor Silver Paint Marker and trimmed the entire card stock. Note, hold marker half on and half off the card stock and drag the marker straight down the card stock edge. This gives you a nice straight line.
Cut a Whisper White Northern Frost Snowflake Die Cut using the Big Shot Machine. Cut it in half and adhered the halfs to the card front.
Here is the finished card measuring 5″ x 6.5″.
May your day be filled with warmth and laughter.
Until my next post. . . . .
Hugs,
Michelle
