I did this shovel pretty much the same way I did the look alike 3-D Frosty Christmas card I posted. The directions are under that post. I decided after I made this as a card I could use the same design on many things . . .shovels, wagons, shadow boxes. I had a whole Frosty Christmas one year. It was fun. Now to figure out this year's projects. If you need any further instructions e-mail me at [[email protected]]

------------------------------ WHAT IS A STAMPPIN ADDICT!
It's someone who buys stamps they didn't normally like at first,only to see it in Split Coast Stampers gallery in a different perspective.
Well the year I found the shovel they were very easy to find. They had a bunch at Michaels. I looked last year and this year and so far no shovel. I'm really boo-hooing over this because I didn't keep a copy of this project for myself but I'll keep looking. Maybe one will pop up somewhere.
As for the Ink . . . To stamp Frosty I used our SU! Basic Black (permanent ink) and colored him in with the SU! markers. To stamp on the metal shovel I used the blue Staz On. Gotta love that ink. The white snow is actually Liquid Applique that I "poofed" using the heat gun. The rest of the directions on how I made this shovel are located on the matching window box card I made. It's in my gallery . . . if you want to check it out.
