Global Stamping Friends Blog Hop - Seasonal Fun

Hi Crafters,

I'm back with the latest Global Stamping Friends Blog Hop.  We are an international group of Stampin' Up! demonstrators that love to create and blog.  Some of us met recently at OnStage, Stampin' Up!'s convention, in Florida.  It was amazing to meet in person and sure did make my heart happy.

The theme of this blog hop is Seasonal Fun and what fun I had making this card!  The snowman image just makes me smile every time I see his little face.  

I created texture on my card blank by running through the Softly Falling Textured Impressions Embossing Folder and then added three layers of cardstock with a torn edge.  I used Glimmer Paper for the bottom layer to give some sparkle.  I stamped the snowman in second generation Smoky Slate and then coloured with Stampin' Blends.  I've included the colours used below in the Supply List.  I really wanted to make the snowman wobble so I cut a small piece of acetate and then scored on each second increment on the Simply Scored Scoring Tool.  I added the sentiment Winter Cheer from the Spirited Snowman which was stamped in Real Red ink.  

To keep hopping, simply click the next arrow to head to Courtenay's awesome creation.  If you get stuck there is also a full blog hop list below. 

Thanks for stopping by on this Seasonal Fun blog hop and I would like to wish you all a fabulous festive season.  

Happy crafting,

Rachel
