Kraft Snowman


Last year I brought this Snowman set from Stampin Up planning to use it a lot this year errrr I made three cards! Two of which were failures but the one that did work the one above is when I discovered I could use Simon Says Stamps Falling Snow with a pencil and then dot with liquid pearls over the dot.


First off I used Versamark but didn't like it.



Then I went over the with glue pen and some glamour dust, another failure didn't like this either.
I could of embossing with white powder but it tends to come out cream perhaps there is another white embossing powder that actually embosses white white but has yet I haven't found it.

The falling snow is the perfect touch to complete this sweet card Debby.

Pat said...

I can see what you mean, and I prefer the first card too. This is a lovely stamp - this snowman has character. I wonder if you can stamp with white acrylic paint thickened with a little PVA glue, perhaps that would look whiter - I must admit I haven't tried this.

Brigitte said...

they are all wonderful, but I have to agree, the top one is the winner!!!!! LOVE this snowman with the awesome stencil. Hugs, Brigitte

Three great cards Debby. The image is so cute and I like the effect of falling snow, and like you my favourite is the first one which you did with liquid pearls.

Lynne in NI said...

Oh he's fabulous, and really pops against your kraft BG.
I've bought loads of white embossing powders too in the search for a proper white colour - the best so far is Cosmic Shimmer 'True White' embossing powder and 'Snow Cap' Ranger ink pad .. still not 100% though!

KraftyKaren said...

I think they are really fab - love how you have used Kraft cardstock - makes the snowman really pop.

Tracey said...

Love the kraft! These are fabulous! xx

Dear Debbie,
You are one of the harshest crafty self-critics I know..

Yes do love the first one, but second two are not failures - love the images all of them and and all worth keeping!

God bless, Shaz in Oz.x

Karen K said...

Debby, I disagree, your two "so called failures" are fabulous in my eyes, the final one is super dooper, but I love all three.

Pia S said...

Such great variations of the same theme! I think they all look great. Love how you've decorated the empty space with pearls and snowflakes, still keeping the designs clean. Nice!!!

Cheryl W. said...

I think you're right that the liquid pearls look the best, but I wouldn't count the other two as failures! They're pretty cute, too.
