Mr Frostie

Hello there, if you have followed what I do here for a while, you will know that I am not keen on mass-producing cards. I think it is a great idea but it is just not something that I particularly like doing. Having said that, I do find it very helpful at Christmas time when I want to send a lot of cards out and don't have the time to make everyone an individual one (although I wish I did!). Here is the card that I made a few of this year:

PLEASE NOTE: This post contains affiliate links. Please see below for my full disclosure.



I started off my stamping the smaller of the two snowmen from the Tim Holtz Mr Frostie Stamp Set onto white cardstock using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. They were coloured using Copic Markers and then fussy cut it out using scissors. 


I created mini 3.5" x 3.5" card bases from white cardstock and then stamped the sentiment from the Mama Elephant Little Santa Agenda Stamp Set on top. Once dry, I added ink blending on the right hand side using Altenew Sweet Dream Fresh Dye Inks (Dew Drops & Aqualicious). 


I splattered the cards using Dr. Ph. Martin's Bleed Proof White Paint (mixed with a little water), as well as Tsukineko Sparkle Sheer Shimmer Spritz and set them aside to dry. Once dry, the snowmen were adhered on top using thin foam tape.
