I have been a huge fan of Raymond Briggs classic Christmas tale "The Snowman" ever since he first appeared roughly 30 years ago! (Yes it really is that long ago!)
Nothing reminds me more of blissful childhood Christmases with my dearest Sisters and wonderful Mum & Dad, So when I saw that a whole new papercrafting range had just been released, I HAD to have it! Even better is the fact that I got the whole collection as a "Freebie" simply for renewing my cardmaking mag subscription! The package included, Decoupage pad, 6x6 paper pad, brads, crystal brads, adhesive gems, ribbon, Chipboard stickers, adhesive stones and 4 sheets of stickers! A total value of approx $70!
Here is the 2nd card I have made from the collection and I really hope you like it. It gave me an opportunity to use my fantastic Martha Stewart "punch around the page" punch set, which was an early Christmas gift from my wonderful Husband and I have to say that I am SOOOOOO happy with the performance of the punches! I can see what all the fuss is about now!
I also punched out a large snowflake then stamped the christmas greeting on to it. And for the finishing touches I added my beloved Stickles glitter glue in Orange Peel to highlight the Snowman's tangerine nose!
A really simple card, but soooo much fun to make! Especially for those who remain young at heart!
Thank you so much for taking a peek! x

This is stunning! LOVE the nose! The punch is gorgeous, and I love how the dp brings out the snowman's hat and scarf.
I love The Snowman too - we used to watch it every Christmas when my children were younger, and we used to read the book all the time too! Always brought a tear to my eye actually!
