I die cut all 67 pieces for this small snowman (JK! But Tim does use a lot of die cuts for his images!!) and managed not to get too much glue everywhere (mostly my fingers!!). My snowflake quilt frame was die cut from PTI's Bitty Big DSP and then again twice from white cs to add some dimension and sturdiness to the frame. I used the same DSP for one of the background layers to tie it all in to the frame too.
In this close up you can see a bit more of the detail and also the white panel that I embossed with SSS's Icy Snowflakes embossing folder. I have quite a few snowflake ef's, but I honestly think that this one might be my favorite as I reach for it quite often!! My sentiment also comes from an older PTI set called Winter Hills and I thought it fit perfectly with the addition of the red heart the snowman is holding. Pretty simple card but I'm happy with the way it turned out and thrilled also to have another Christmas card done for next year (well, really this year!!). Now if I only can keep it up!!
I'll be sharing this card over at the Peace On Earth Christmas Challenge where they have a wonderful mood board showcasing SNOWMEN and also the Inkspirational Challenge where they are looking for quilts.
LOTS of inspiration at both sites if you'd like to play along. The Peace On Earth Challenge is open till Thursday, Jan. 16th @ 8:00PM and the Inkspirational Challenge is open till Friday, Jan. 17th @ 11:59PM.
Thanks for stopping by today ... I love it when you do!

Oh, yes! But he is worth every one of those sticky fingers, and 67 pieces, Marcia!
You warmed MY heart with this little cutie today!

Good for you getting all 67 of those pieces in the right place, Marcia! Chilly is so fun and I love the cozy quilt! What a wonderful way to warm our hearts!
After the initial shock I laughed about the 67 pieces, tee hee! And the glue. I can so relate. Your card is such a treat, Marcia! Cute and fun and an inspiration to all of us. Those snowflakes do look icy, and I notice how they match the PTI snowflake. It's so sweet how the sentiment and red heart work together. Gosh, I just love it all!
He's worth the effort, Marcia he's adorable! I love the way you have him placing the heart in the center of the quilt. This is a darling card!
