Hello there. I have one final design team inspiration card to share today for the December DECK THE HALL Stay Crafty challenge over on the Hero Arts (HA) blog.
*affiliate links used in this post at no extra cost to you… thank you for your support*
HA products used:
▪️Peeking Snowman fancy dies
▪️Snowy Night letterpress and foil plate
▪️Elegant Window fancy die
▪️Holly Berries stamp & cut XL (sentiment)
When my initial idea was unsuccessful , a Peeking Snowman leftover piece in my stash came to the rescue and here’s the result! 😉
If I remembered correctly, the snowman was die cut from X-Press It paper and the nose colouring and white shading were done with Copic Sketch markers The scarf and hat were ink blended with Lumberjack Plaid and Black Soot distress inks. The window was also die cut from X-Press It paper and shaded with Copic Sketch markers. A second window was die cut from thick white paper to stack for dimension.
Copic markers used:
nose - Y38, YR07, E08
shading - C00/1/2/3
For the background, the beautiful Snowy Night letterpress/foil plate was inked with Tumbled Glass distress oxide ink and pressed into an A2 size Porcelain cotton card panel using the BetterPress System. Stamped the sentiment in Versafine Onyx Black ink onto a white woodgrain panel then heat embossed with clear glitter embossing powder for a bit of sparkle. Trimmed the snowy background to window size and assembled the card onto a white card base to finish.

The snowman peeking through the window is adorable. It's a great winter card, Trina. tfs
He wants to come in and get warm, but he knows what will happen. Better just keep peeking in. That is a great background for him, Trina. Enjoy your holidays. Big hugs to you.
Great use of dies for this sweet snowman peering through the window. Thank you for popping along to the Allsorts challenge
I love cards with windows on them! Fabulous window die (I might have to buy that one) and a great scene "outside" it!
Oh, what a cute snowman peeking through the window! Wonderful background, too! Great card, Trina!
