Spellbinders | Warm Winter Snowman

Hello there, today I have a card to share combining different sets from different Spellbinders collections that have been released this month. The snowman is from the North Pole Friends Collection (by Simon Hurley), the background plate is from the Merry Moments Collection, and the sentiment is from the Wonderland Collection. 

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

I started off by creating the background. I took a panel of Spellbinders Cascade ColorWheel Cardstock and hot foiled the Spellbinders Petite Criss Cross Press Plate on top with Spellbinders Opal Foil and the Spellbinders Glimmer Hot Foil System. This foil gives a lovely tone-on-tone look with a little sparkle! Using blending brushes, I added Altenew Lapis Lazuli Fresh Dye Inks (Eastern Sky & Ultramarine) around the sides. I removed any ink from the foiling with a dry cloth. It was adhered to a US A2 sized white card base. 

I then created my snowman using the Spellbinders North Pole Sentiments Etched Dies. I die cut the snowman's body from Spellbinders Classic White ColorWheel Cardstock, die cutting the pieces to go behind for the mouth, eyes and coal buttons from Spellbinders Raven ColorWheel Cardstock. The nose was cut from Spellbinders Carrot ColorWheel Cardstock and the cheeks from Spellbinders Chiffon ColorWheel Cardstock. 

The arms were cut from Spellbinders Acorn ColorWheel Cardstock. I assembled and adhered the parts together using Bearly Art Glue. I then cut the hat, scarf and mittens from Spellbinders Cascade ColorWheel Cardstock and added ink blending to them with the same inks that I used on the card base. I cut the fluffy bits from the glitter cardstock in the Spellbinders Antique White Assorted Treasured Cardstock Pack. 

I adhered them onto the snowman and then adhered the snowman onto the card base using thin foam tape. I hot foiled the Spellbinders Merry Messages Plate onto white cardstock using Spellbinders Silver Foil. It was die cut out using the coordinating die. I cut the die another two times from white cardstock and adhered them behind the foiled one before adhering onto the card. I felt like something was missing, so I die cut the holly and berries from the Spellbinders The Causes Etched Dies from Spellbinders Tutu and Peridot Cardstock and adhered them onto the snowman's hat to finish.
