CAS Christmas June 2021 - SNOWMAN

Hello friends.  Time for a new challenge at CAS Christmas, and this month our hostess Hideko would like to see a SNOWMAN on our Christmas cards.

 

I have oodles and oodles of snowman stamps, but I still went shopping because, well, I have been admiring quite a few of the Purple Onion Designs snowman stamps for quite some time now, and decided a little retail therapy was in order!!  


Isn't he ADORABLE with his HUGE CARROT NOSE and looking up at the sky??!!  He was designed by Stacey Yacula and she named him Jolly.  


I colored Jolly with my Copics, and then added a PB Crystal Frames Die that I pop dotted for dimension around him.  A pretty quick and simple card and CAS to boot!

Hideko and the rest of the DT (AND our Special GD Steph!) all have some seriously CUTE snowmen to inspire you, so head over to the CAS Christmas Blog to check it all out, and then play along with us!  We can't wait to see YOU and your CAS Christmas SNOWMAN cards in our gallery!!  This challenge is open till the 24th.

Thanks for stopping by today ... I love it when you do!

The crystal frame is so pretty and hi-lights 'Jolly' to perfection. What a happy snowman with his wonderful carrot nose and no wonder you wanted to go shopping Marcia x.

This guy is my most favorite snow-dude of all, Marcia!! Such a darling guy, beautifully colored, and very worthy of this fun frame!

I always smile when I see one of these snowmen with his face turned up to the snowy sky Marcia - and this guy sure has a BIG carrot nose! What a beautiful die cut framing you used with him! xx

That snowman looks so happy with his big smile and his arms raised to the sky! Love that snowflake die frame - might have to look for that!

Jolly suits this little cutie! Beautiful colouring and love that frame. I have a ton of snowman stamps too and this past Christmas I bought my first Stacey Yacula stamps from Purple Onion... and the snowman one will make its first appearance for the reminder card. 😉

Such an ADORABLE snowman, Marcia! His outfit even has a blue pocket! This card will make any receiver happy, and I love it! It's wonderful that the pattern of the crystal frame echoes the snowman's arms.

Jolly is adorable Marcia, and he certainly does look happy looking into the sky at all the incoming snowflakes. Perhaps he's catching them and putting them in his pocket. ;0) What a darling image! I can see why you needed to bring him home with you.

Ros Crawford said...

Oh I love it!! He's such a happy chappy and that frame is gorgeous!
