Simply Cool Snowmen - Snowmen Made from a Rose Stamp

Snowmen from Roses?

Is it really possible to turn a Rose stamp set into a wonderful snowman? Absolutely possible with JustRite Papercraft's new Multi Step Three Way Rose Stamp.

These are the coolest snowmen I've ever made without being made from snow. Actually I prefer the kind made from paper because then I know I only had to stamp, cut and glue instead of shovel, bundle and freeze.

I've provided a quick look at how I made my snowman using the dotted circle stamps as his body and the branches as his arms.

In the stamp below, I also used the Justrite Small Oval Christmas Tidings Clear Stamps for the snowflakes as well as

JustRite Confetti Trio Background Stamps for the dotted blue background.

As I mentioned, the blue dotted background stamp is from JustRite : JustRite Confetti Trio Background Stamp CL-05091 - stamped using a blend of Distress inks:

Ranger Tim Holtz Distress Inks -Bundled Sage

Ranger Tim Holtz Distress Oxides - Vintage Photo

Ranger Tim Holtz Distress Oxides - Broken China

Ranger Tim Holtz Distress Oxides -Peacock Feathers

My "secret sauce" on this card is the eyelash yarn I used for a cool effect. OK I have to admit this came from my stash and is a few years old. It dates back to when everyone was making trendy scarves from eyelash yarn.

I did not make scarves - I just buy stuff....and store stuff.....for a very long time.....hahahaaha

Next up, my second snowman - slightly different. Made using Maja Design papers from Sweden, they are the perfect snowman colors.

Maja Design - It's Winter Collection -"It's Snowing"

Maja Design - Denim & Friends collection - "Blue Jeans" paper

(You can grab your Maja Design papers from Frantic Stamper - here).

No eyelash yarn trim, but instead I used cheesecloth and some "shaved ice" -Stampendous Frantage Shaved Ice.

As you can see below, I layered him. I stamped a layer of circles plus his arms, then decided I needed some dimension. I cut an additional snowman out and popped him up with pop dots adhesives.

This adorable sentiment is from JustRite "A Smile is Contagious" Stamp set - CR-05106
