I’m always so blown away by Amy’s amazing Copic coloring skills! This darling card uses stamps from Sweet November for a snowman building scene with two cute kids. Notice all the “extras” she added by hand with the markers like foot prints, pale trees in the background and shadows, this adds so much realism to the design. Visit A Thousand Sheets of Paper blog for a closer peek.
It might seem hard to come up with card ideas after the Holidays are over but if you need to create a card for a birthday, thinking of you, anniversary or thank you during this time of year try including snowmen for adorable Winter designs. Use frosty colors like blues and silvers, include lots of glitter, create fun or serene snowy scenes using stamps, dies or stenciling for cards that will warm someone’s heart this cold Winter. Today let’s get inspired by some amazing snowman card ideas.
Below each photo you’ll find a link, click it for more details like products used, tutorials and techniques.
Send a fun Thank You card to let someone know how much you loved their Christmas gift. Andrea colored up a snowman in red and green accessories layering the card with lots of snowflake and snow globe pattern papers tied with bakers twine. Learn more at the Unity Stamps blog.
I love the colored cardstock combo that Lisa used on her adorable Snowmen card. Each have been die cut and placed over a dry embossed snowflake panel for nice added texture with a die cut sentiment and a few gems for shine. Find step by step direction at the Spellbinders blog.
Monica’s funny stamped scene has a snowman struggling to pull his rabbit friend up the hill on a sled, LOL! She added stenciling for snow and ink blended her die cut “Yay!” sentiment with blue inks. I spotted her idea on the Whimsy Stamps Instagram page.
Renee’s trendy arch shaped card has pale monochromatic blue tones except for the pink candy cane. She used dies to create her sweet snowman and check out all the extra accents she included like puffy Liquid Applique on the hat, faux stitching on the scarf and metallic paper for the belt buckle. Take a closer look at the Art Impressions blog.
Kerri’s card was inspired by one of the most well known snowmen in the world, Olaf from Disney’s Frozen! He’s been stamped and colored with Prismacolor Pencils with a pattern paper background, stamped sentiment strips and die cut snowflakes added to a die cut tag. Visit the CC Designs blog for more info.
Tiffany used Copic markers to color in her sweet stamped girl who just made a couple of cute little snowmen. For the pretty background she ink blended pink and teal inks over a snowflake stencil, adding splatter afterwards. There’s also some glitter glue and sequins for sparkle. Find more details at The Greeting Farm blog.
Here’s another pink and teal color combo, which seems to be pretty trendy right now. Leanne’s die cut card has a sweet snowman, some small pink birds and a heat embossed sentiment in the scalloped oval center. The card base has die cut snowflakes backed with glitter paper and there’s glitter glue on the snowman for lots of shine. Take a closer peek at the Waffle Flower blog.
Miriam’s die cut snowman has loads of texture and shimmer because she used different colors of Stickles glitter glue and embossing powders on her cardstocks. There’s also a subtle stenciled grey background too. Find detailed step by step directions over at Ranger Ink.
Mindy’s die cut card has so much personality with a fun die cut marshmallow snowman sitting next to a penguin mug of cocoa and a puny stamped sentiment. Behind her snowy hill is a kraft panel with stenciled snowflakes and splattered snow. Watch her video tutorial at the Scrapbook and Cards Today blog.
Lio added lots of pastel colors by placing each stamped snowman inside a die cut Polaroid cut from different cardstocks. There’s lots of snowy elements from the pattern paper background and die cut glittery snowflakes too. Take a closer look at the Mama Elephant blog.
What type of cookies do snowmen bake? Snowman shaped cookies of course! Keiko’s delightful die cut card has an amazing baking scene with a woodgrain counter top, die cut realistic looking snowflake cookie, shimmer from silver cardstock and texture from felt. I spotted her idea on the Honey Bee Stamps Instagram page.
I hope these snowman cards have sparked some inspiration and warmed your heart too!
