March of the Snowmen Blog Hop

Hello! Welcome to our March of the Snowmen Blog Hop! There are 16 ladies (including me) participating in this hop and many of them are offering some form of blog candy to go along with this! You will just have to visit all to find out!! I will be offering a bit of candy myself (you will just have to wait and see what you get, however you will be pleasantly surprised!) and I will randomly pick someone from the comments left! Good luck.

I have collected a lot of snowman stamps over the years and here are some of my favorites!


Stamp is from Penny Black and colored with Copic Markers (B00, G07, R46, C1, YR68, E25). I added a bit of Crystal art glitter for the snow! The big snowflake is cut from Provo Craft - I cut three layers and stacked them on top of each other with foam tape. A red button and some scrappers floss ties them all together! The designer paper is from Kaisercraft. Nesties labels used to cut out the main stamped image and the red layer. I used a velvet green ribbon in the background to add some interest!

This stamp is from Great Impressions and is colored with Prismacolor pencils and blended with OMS. The sentiment is from Papertrey Ink. The new snowflake embossing folder from Provo Craft was used on the base of this card. The snowflake stamp around the scallops is from Stamps by Judith and done with craft white ink. The tag is cut from Spellbinders nestabilities!
This stamp is from Plum Purdy by Renee' Mullins. It's colored with Prismacolor pencils and blended with OMS. Crystal art glitter is used for the snow on his hat. Snowflake embossing folder is used on the white cardstock and the designer paper is from HOTP. Pure poppy and enchanted evening card stock is from PTI. The white dots are done with a sharpie paint pen.

This is probably my oldest snowman stamp! It's from Hampton Arts and is colored with prismacolor pencils and blended with OMS. The sentiment is from PTI and the designer paper are from K&Company. Deckled nesties were used to cut out the main image and the dark red layer.

This stamp is from Great Impressions and it's acutally a square of 3 snowman plus the sentiment. It's stamped in Memories black dye ink and then embossed with clear embossing powder. I used glaze gel pens to color his nose and accessories! Pure poppy card stock was scored twice on each end, then I cut the snowmen apart and popped them up using foam tape. The snowflakes are from Provo Craft and cut out with the CB. I added a bit of Vanilla Shimmer spray from Smooch to them, but it's hard to see in the photo.


Lastly, this stamp is from The Angel Company. He is colored with Copic Ciao Markers in G21 and G24. It's also outlined with C1 and then blinged up a bit with a touch of a stardust pen. The embossing folder is from Provo Craft, which goes so well with this stamp! I used a nestie label to cut this out, bent it a bit in the middle and then popped it up with foam tape. The sentiment is from The Angel Company, too.

Ok - I know that was a lot to read and see, but hopefully you enjoyed seeing all those different snowmen stamps! Byt he way, which one was your favorite? Here are the links for the 15 other ladies who are participating in this blog hop! I sure hope you get a lot of ideas and inspiration!
