Cute little snowmen

Hello my crafty friends. How are you doing today? Have you started decorating the house yet? I'm slowly gathering my Christmas decorations, but will start decorating the apartment next weekend. I can't wait! My favourite season is just around the corner. :)

last weekend my sweetie and I went on a trip to a city about one hour driving away from our place. We've never been there before so it was fun to do some exploring. We did some walking around, but also some shopping. I managed to get a few more Christmas gifts. I feel so organized getting them so early, because usually I'm leaving this to the very last moment.

So, since everything is about Christmas and December, let me show you a Christmas card as well.

A new challenge started at the Subar Bowl blog and as usually the theme is anything goes. The only requirement is that you use a Sugar Nellie stamp. And they have sooooo many cute ones that I am sure this won't be a problem. ;)

I've used the super cute snowmen stamp. Love, love, love them! Unfortunately this stamp is sold out, BUT you can get these cuties as toppers. How awesome is that?!


I did the colouring with distress inks and I added some diamond stickles on the white parts of the hat. The papers have been in my stash for what seems like forever (I can't even remember where I got them!!) and I'm really happy I finally put them to some use. All of the embellishments came from my stash as well. All around the paper edges I added golden glitter glue. I got the idea for this at Alberto's blog.

I would like to enter my card to the following challenges:
Stamp and create: Ribbons and/or bows
Bunny Zoe's crafts: Snow
Scrapy land: Add texture + use any brand of die that Scrapy Land sells (among others I used Whimsy and Spellbinders dies)
Card and scrap: Christmas card
A creative romance: Something old (papers are veeeeery old and so are the sequins and doily)
Creative fingers: Anything goes
Sweet stampin' Christmas: Snow people
Simon says (Wednesday challenge): Anything goes
Simon says blog: Work it Wednesday

  2. You sound very organised for Christmas Cebelica, that way you will be able to enjoy all the festivities when the time comes.

    He is a cute snowman and your card is so very pretty.

    1. Lol, I try to be. I'm not usually very organized though. Each year I'm running around trying to buy the last bits and pieces at the very last moment. Hopefully this year this will be different.
      Hugs! xx

    1. Hvala za tvoj prijazen komentar Jana! :D Meni sta oba snežaka cartkana, ampak se strinjam, da je na levem nekaj "posebnega". Samo poglej tiste njegove "laske" ... :D
      Lepo se imej!
      Pa pa xx

  12. As usual, you have blown my hair off with the amazingness of your card! And yes, that's a word! lol. This is fabulous my friend! Love your snowmen, fabulous addition of the glitter to the hat! All those pearl drops must have taken a coon's age, but it was worth it, love it!! Pom Pom trim is my fav! I am so stingy with mine because it's hard to find around here. So many amazing details that I have come to love when visiting you, what a treat to come back to after being gone for a week!

    Buttons and bling and borders, oh my! That should be a song, yeah?
    big hugs my friend!

    1. Now, aren't you one super sweet person. You definitely know how to make someone's day. Thank you so much for such a sweet comment. <3
      And as for the pop pom trim, I can get you some. :) Any colour preferences? Do you want the small one (like I used) or with big(ger) pom poms?

      Big hugs to you!! xx

    2. Aahhh, how sweet are you!! Thanks so much for the offer, but I really don't want to put you out like that. You can get different sizes? Cool! I think I will have a look on line this year, see if I can find some for a reasonable shipping and handling price.

      Thanks so much my sweet friend, you are very thoughtful! hugs :)

    3. Don't worry about it. :) Really, you can wish for some (pretend you are writing to Santa :P). Yes, they come in 2 different sizes (I used the small ones) and in different colours (besides white I remember seeing black, hot pink and yellow). And they are not heavy so the shipping won't cost an arm and leg (postage here depends on the weight, not how big or bulky the parcel is). Anyways, the offer still stands if you want some. :)
      Hugs! xx

    4. So how weird is this...I went to one of my work suppliers and they had this little stand of Christmas stuff for sale...there were a couple of yards of ivory pom pom trim for 5 bucks! I grabbed that bag real fast! So now I have some back up! YAY! Turns out Santa works all year round! hugs :)

  20. Odkar me je, v preteklih tednih, zagrabilo papirčkanje, malce več brskam po blogih s to tematiko. Spoznavam številne stile in možnosti, ki jih daje papir. Pri tebi sem prvič in zelo navdušena! Kako lepo znaš barvati odtise, kombinirati detajle v popolno celoto, usklajeno tako barvno, kot kompozicijsko. Kapo dol, mojstrica si.

  24. Hi Cebelica, these snowmen are super adorable! I want to reach out and give them a pinch. Beautiful blue and cream color combo, and the gold trims make this card extra glitzy and festive in a gentle and shabby setting. The pom pom trim frames the image beautifully. Love it!
    Hugs, Katie
