I pulled out an older stamp and die set to make the snowman for this card today. I love the simplicity of this snowman and his super cute face. I also like that the dies can be used to cut felt, so his scarf and hat are super fuzzy! Hats and scarves are necessary these days around here — brrrr! I colored the body of the snowman with colored pencils and Gamsol. I am not sure if the snowman stamp/die set are from Sizzix or Hero Arts... I’m leaning towards it being a Hero Arts set, since the back of the dies aren’t etched w/ Sizzix or a item number, which seems to be pretty standard for Sizzix.
The heart dies I used are from Impression Obsession. The small hearts were made with Double Heart Edger (DIE132-D) and Heart Set (DIE135-E). The “you make my heart happy” sentiment is from the Whipper Snapper Designs Everyday Sentiments cling mount set. I used one of the sentiments from the Whipper Snapper Designs All Things with Love cling mount set to stamp subtle grey text on the background, and across the body of the snowman for interest.
We have a lot of days in our upcoming weather forecast that call for snow... still plenty of winter remains for snowman cards! Hope you’re keeping cozy!
Pretty darn cute Mr. Snowman. Thank you for that stunningly simple kinda look you do so well!

Absolutely adorable! I love how you've coloured him and really like the text across the body. Cheers, Dotty :)
