Spirited Snowmen simple stamping(last chance)

Happy Sunday. There is only 2 more days to order from the Holiday catalog. My favorite from this catalog is Spirited Snowmen. This stamp set is not just for Christmas. Birthday, New Years, and Valentine’s Day are other ways I have used this set.

For this first card I made a Birthday card. I used the simple stamping technique. This uses stamp, ink and paper (SIP). Materials used:
Cherry cobbler cardstock for the card base. Cut at 51/2 then fold in half
4x51/4 piece of DSP for the mat
Memento ink

This second card also uses the simple stamping technique. Materials used:
Petal pink cardstock for the card base.
Whisper White for the front mat. I used the new rectangle Thinlits to cut it out.

Scrap of Whisper White for the second layer. Cut as shown. Stamp the Snowmen on this piece.
Memento ink
Lovely Lipstick Stampin pad
Blends of your choice to color on the Snowmen
