Merry Monday: Snow Much Joy

It's been a long time since I have done a Christmas card and I had promised myself that this year I would do better.  There are great challenges out there to help - my favorite being Merry Monday.  I have been playing along sporadically - but the year is half over and I need to buckle down!!

This card uses a Hero Arts snowman that came out a year or two ago.  I liked every card that I saw him on and I finally got the set this year.  But then, for months, no one had the snowman die - it was out-of-stock no matter where I looked.  I had just decided that perhaps it was retired and I had missed it, but finally...it was available...maybe he's just still a very popular guy!!  (I have a clear set called Snow Much Joy.  There's also a wood-mounted stamp with a sleepy little snowman that also fits the die.)

  3. Wow Kim, this card is adorable. I love that snowman I can see why you waited to get him and the die together. I also love the embossing folder, need to find that one. I always enjoy visiting your blog. Thank you for playing along with my Merry Monday sketch.

    I've got the same die, but never used it this side up!
    Well I love how you did the embossing, so I'll give it a try myself with this embossingdie and see if it works for me too. :-)
    Great card!

  12. Absolutely darling card! I want to hug that snowman, he's so cute! I, too, had spotted this stamp/die but gave up looking when 'out of stock' seemed to be non-ending. Great to know they're available - and perhaps I ought not to wait too long before adding these little gems into my collection! Have a great Monday!
