Do You Wanna Build a Snowman? #2

This card uses my free gift from a December order from SimonSaysStamp - the Bundled Snowman die set that is also available to buy. My PIC (stamping Partner In Crime) had gifted me a 3D embossing folder from Altenew for Christmas - "Layered Snowflakes" which I thought was perfect for my card:

Card stock base is light blue card stock cut and scored at the top. I embossed a piece of white card stock in this 3D Altenew embossing folder and trimmed it to the size I needed for my card front. This design is nice because it gives you open areas on the embossed piece for a sentiment or your snowman or whatever. It also embosses this design in a high/low design. You can see the 3D embossed snowflakes and behind that it looks like a lighter embossed snowflakes 

.so this adds a lot of dimension to the embossed piece. 

The sentiment "Warm Wishes" is also from SimonSaysStamp and it is the "Warm Wishes Medley Script" die set. It has the words as well as the shadow piece behind it. I used the light blue card stock again and cut out the words in the die set. Using Post It tape I taped off the top half of the words and added blue ink to the bottom part of the words so it has an ombre look..... die cut the shadow piece from vellum and I used liquid glue to put the words onto the vellum shadow piece. Used liquid glue to put this onto the card front.

For the snowman I die cut him out using white scraps and I used shimmer blue card stock from the stash for his hat, scarf, and heart pieces:

Once the white snowman was die cut I sponged the edges of him with blue ink. Die cut his hat pom pom and hat brim using white glittered card stock. Put the pom pom on his hat, then the blue hat piece and then the glittered brim piece on the snowman. Put on the scarf pieces. Added his eyes, nose, and buttons all using liquid glue. Added his little blue heart and he was done. Put him on the card front using pop dots. Added two small snowflakes by him using an old Marvy snowflake punch from white glittered card stock. Added blue gems to those for some sparkle. Easy card to put together and really nice embossing folder...
