At the craft group I run we recently made some quick Christmas cards, including this one.
Construction process - emboss a piece of vellum with a snowflake pattern; I've had this folder for many years, and it usually makes an appearance on something each Christmas!
Then, take 2 white circles of card, some ribbon, an elongated triangle of orange card and some card candy.
The smile is drawn using the edge of a metal washer, which was the perfect size! Make sure the mouth is placed in the top half of the circle as he is looking up.
I really must get down to concentrating on my own Christmas cards, but at the moment I'm preparing for my next set of art classes (on watercolour), which start on Monday - arrgghh - I need more time .... and I haven't even thought about pressie shopping!
Oh WOW! I just love this design! This caught my eye over on The Craft Barn Challenge blog. xx

The expression on his face put a smile on mine! He's fabulous and if you have no objection he may well be appearing on a card to one of my grandchildren.
ReplyDeleteLet's get smiley snowmen to take over the world!
DeleteI've taken your advice and made about a dozen smiley snowman cards. :-)
