You Put the Merry In My Christmas

This card is all about cheerful vibes! The adorable snowman, colored with soft blues and neutrals, pops off the page thanks to a simple fussy-cut technique. The snowflake background sets the perfect winter scene, while the dimensional effect of the snowman adds depth and interest. Plus, it’s a design you can easily recreate for mass production, making it ideal for all your holiday card needs.

What Makes This Card Special?

• Snowflake Bliss: The background is a stunning pattern of snowflakes that complements the snowman’s wintry vibe. The blues, grays, and whites all work together to create that classic frosty feel. Search your stash for a fun pattern to try.
• Watercolor Magic: The snowman is brought to life with Distress Watercolor pencils. The soft blending of colors on his scarf, hat, and carrot nose gives him a playful, hand-painted look that’s truly unique.
• Pop-Up Dimension: To add a bit of flair, I fussy cut around the snowman and popped him up with foam adhesive. This gives the card a 3D effect that really makes him stand out against the snowflake background.
• Perfect for Mass Production: This design is ideal for making multiples! The simple layout and quick coloring mean you can create a whole set of holiday cards in no time.
