Festive Friday 2025 #10

Hello!

How is it Friday already? Well I have another Christmas card project to share with you. I decided to use a sheet of digital stamp images that I had already printed off and made myself a rainbow of snowmen! Definitely a change in style from the last few Festive Fridays!

The image is from All Dressed Up although I did cut apart the image as it comes with snow and a sentiment in the original. I decided to just use the actual snowman image for my card instead.

I chose different alcohol markers to colour the images and then fussy cut them out. I had in my head the size of card I was making so knew six would be perfect for the width of the card!

I die cut seven trees out for the background and then I cut a panel to go on the slimline card front. I used my blue ink blending brush to add some blue behind the trees but without adding any ink to the brush so it is quite subtle.

I then started glueing down the trees. I had them overlap a little and at slightly different heights. Then I added the snowmen in a vague rainbow order! I love a rainbow 🌈

As the snowmen didn’t totally cover all the tree trunks I then added a bank of snow which I hand cut. I used the blue ink blending brush to edge it and give it a little definition and then stuck that down too.

Then I edged the whole panel with the blue again. At this point I decided it needed some sparkle – so I went to town with the Kingston Crafts glitter glue in clear. I added it to the snowbank edge, to the tree boughs and to the noses of the snowmen! I also added to the edge of the panel too.

I then left it to dry overnight so it wouldn’t get smudged! I know what I am like for wanting to prod at glitter glue before it is dry! Always best to move it totally out of arms reach or leave it overnight!

I then added to the card blank. I decided it didn’t need a sentiment – there is so much going on with the card I didn’t want to add anything else.

So quite a detailed card and I am really happy with this!

Happy crafting!
