thanks snow much

Hey everybody! Happy Thursday – I hope you’re having a great week! I have an awesome CutCardStock DT inspiration project to share with you today featuring our Pop Tone Tangy Orange and Pop Tone Hot Fudge cardstock which I paired with the always amazing Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock! The Pop Tone line is one of my favorites because there are so many pretty colors. For this melted snowman card, I used an adorable multi-step stamp set on the front I’ve had for years and had never inked up! I’m starting this year with the same promise I start every new year with… to use more stamps and dies in my stash that have either never been used or used maybe once. I did pretty well last year and used quite a few!

I cut a standard A2 size landscape top-folding card base from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock along with a layering panel from CutCardStock Tangy Orange cardstock and a slightly smaller one from 80# Solar White cardstock. I used the Tonic Studios Corner Punch to clip off the corners of the white panel. Using a variety of Memento inks (listed below), the Kitchen Sink Stamps Invisible Snowman Multi-Step stamp set, and an assortment of acrylic stamp blocks, I stamped his eyes, nose, mouth, top hat, scarf, pipe and coal buttons on Solar White cardstock. I fussy cut all the pieces and arranged them in a melted snowman fashion on the white panel. I adhered the panel to the Tangy Orange layering panel and stamped the sentiment in Tuxedo Black ink using my MISTI stamp tool. The finishing touches were adding a narrow strip of Hot Fudge cardstock to the left of the sentiment for a little interest along with three iridescent snowflake sequins.

I cut identical inside layering panels from Pop Tone Tangy Orange and Solar White cardstock and clipped off the corners of the white panel with the Tonic Corner Punch. I stamped a sentiment from the Keep It Simple Thank You Sentiments stamp set (a newer one) in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and added strips of Tangy Orange and Hot Fudge to the top of the panel.
