Happy Friday!
Im up today with another project for Cutcardstock, using the fabulous Cougar White and Metallic Crystal, with some Flame, Vista, and Sapphire with a tiny bit of Silver Merrisparkle. I found a tutorial for these lovelies close to 15 years ago, and every few years I give them away and make new ones, cause They're so sweet! I usually make her Pink, I don't know why I've never thought to change the color, but this year I made them with all the blue.
This idea originally came from SVGCuts.com, one of their DT members created the Snowmam, with the candy dish.. I took what they started and created the snowman to go with her, using their cutfiles. Which you can find at the above link. They were fairly easy to put together, but I've been creating their stuff for 15+ years so it was easy for me. She was a little more difficult...
Making her skirt was a challenge, they didnt have any score marks to help bend them or guide you, you kinda just have to guess, same with her hat. Paper Piecing at its grandest, and one of my favorite things to do! This didnt bother me in the slightest having to piece everything together. You have the help of the lid itself to help guide the skirt on, pre-shapeing the pieces is a must. Adding all the little details on after theyre glued together is so much fun....
I added some Coal shaped beads for her buttons, and buttons for her eyes.. Fancied her hat with some flowers from 40 & Market, big blue snowflakes and small silver one, with some embroidery thread wrapped up and bowed, and a little wooden heart. Both
are hold cute little winter signs and of course she has peppermints.
Happy Crafting!
