Oh I've been wanting to try one of these snowmen for a long time. Finally had time this weekend to sit down and play. Turns out he's really easy to make.
- His head is from the top note die. Cut the face and the top of his hat using this die.
- The 2 layers of the flower and the flower leaves are with the 5-petal flower punch.
- His hat has a thin strip of the green and then the brim of his hat. For the brim I cut a strip of black paper 3/4" wide and stuck one end at a time into the wide oval punch to round the corners. See the picture below.
- The nose was made from the star punch - although it would be really easy to cut his nose free-hand. See the picture below
- His mouth is made with the largest circles on the Owl Punch. I tried using my 1/2" circle punch and just felt they were too big for this image.
I've seen other similar cards using the Top Note Die for a head. But I was really inspired to play when I received this card as a trade from my friend and fellow demonstrator, Deb Geier. I did change a few things. I used Cherry Cobbler, Deb used Real Red. She used the 2-Step Bird Punch for the leaves in the snowman's hat and gave her hat a Designer paper Trim. She also used the larger punch for the mouth.The supplies used on My card are:
The Big Shot Die Cutting Machine
The Top Note Die
The 5-Petal Punch
The Wide Oval Punch (for the hat trim)
The Star Punch (for the nose)
a Gold Brad (in the flower)
The Colors I used were:
Cherry Cobler
Always Artichoke
Whisper White
Basic Black
