Hi friends! For today’s holiday series installment, I created a Copic-colored snowman cutie from AALL & Create’s “Snow Good” stamp set. This project can also be found on my YouTube channel so you can watch the step-by-step construction process at https://www.youtube.com/@VeehattInspired .
The supplies used were:
X-Press It Blending Cardstock
AALL & Create “Snow Good” Stamp Set
Copic Alcohol Markers (colors listed below)
Spellbinders “Perfect Touch Rectangles and Tag” Die Set
Snowflake Pattern Cardstock (from an older Simon Says Stamp card kit)
Memory Box Open Studio “Holiday Wishes” Stamp Set
Simon Says Stamp Intense Black Ink Pad
Gelly Roll Glaze Pen - Black
Gelly Roll White Pen
Gelly Roll Glitter Pen #705
Scrapbook.com 1” 1mm Foam Adhesive Roll
Ranger Heat It Craft Tool
Misti Original Stamp Positioning Tool
Anna Griffin Empress Die Cutting Machine
To begin the card, I used the largest die from Spellbinders’ “Perfect Touch Rectangles and Tag” die set and die cut a piece of X-Press It Blending Cardstock to serve as the base of my card front. I chose this cardstock for the base so it will match the same tone of white I used for the decorative cardstock that I used for the Copic coloring. I added adhesive to the back of this card panel and adhered it to my side-opening, A2 card base.
Next, I pulled a piece of snowflake pattern paper that I had in my stash that was included in a winter-themed card kit that I had purchased from Simon Says Stamp – but any snowy pattern paper or even stamped or embossed would work fine. I trimmed the pattern paper to be 2” x 5-1/2” and adhered it to the left side of my card front. I have some spools of thin, glittered washi tape that I bought a couple years ago from Amazon – I think they were intended for people to use on their fingernails, but of course we crafters see beyond the intended use! I used the gold glittered roll of washi tape and ran a strip of it down the edge of the patterned cardstock on my card front.
I used the fifth largest die from the Spellbinders’ “Perfect Touch Rectangles and Tag” die set and die cut a piece of X-Press It Blending Cardstock… this will be the panel that I stamp and color with the Copics.
Using the Misti stamp positioner and Simon Says Stamp’s Intense Black ink, I stamped the snowman from AALL & Create’s “Snow Good” stamp set and the “Let It Snow” stamp from Memory Box’s “Holiday Wishes” stamp set onto the small X-Press It cardstock rectangle. I heat set the ink to ensure it wouldn’t bleed when I began the Copic coloring.
For the Copic coloring:
Stick arms – E25, E27
Carrot nose – YR16, YR18, E08
Eye – B15, B000, White Gel Pen
Sock Hat & Scarf – RV02, RV13, RV14 and BG07, BG15, BG32, Gelly Roll #705
Body – B000, B00
Once the coloring was completed, I added two strips of Scrapbook.com’s 1” 1mm foam adhesive to the back of the colored panel and adhered it to the center of the card front. My final touch was to add black Gelly Roll Glaze pen details to the snowman’s eyes and buttons and some random white Gelly Roll accents on the snowman’s hat and scarf.
I hope you enjoyed the card and found inspiration for some of your own holiday projects! Until next time… happy making!
