After stamping & coloring my holiday snowman, I stamped the plaid background onto light red cardstock w/ black ink then used a few darker red Copics to add a little tone variation. I die cut both panels then used a curved border die to cut the bottom of the snowman panel. A couple of die cut buttons were added w/ a little glossy dimensional glaze added on top of them. The greeting was a little too large, so I stamped it w/ Stazon on the front of a piece of shrink plastic, die cut it w/ a circle die & most importantly, punched the hole at the top before shrinking it w/ a heat gun. I used a G02 to color the backside before I shrunk it. It was barely even noticeable but look how much darker it became when shrunk. A little Stickles was added to the snow & icicles.
Thanks so much for looking, Closeups, Copic colors & product links are on my blog: The Write Stuff

Ooh, what a sweet snowman! I love him, and I love your card! It's funny that I was drawing closer to the screen to read the sentiment, I thought to myself that is was far too small to be a stamp (even thought about shrink plastic). Then I read your description! Very cool (haha!). But I love the card and love the canapé plates that inspired you! Hugs and love! xoxo

Fantastic design and absolutely love the shrink plastic element. Really lends itself to create a frosty feel!
Love this site and it’s kinda dangerous for me to visit it! ;)

This is one of the cutest snowmen, Julie! Love the little tag with present and his little bird friend, but you really had me at those icicles! It must be quite frigid~
