S is for . . . Super Swinging Snowman

It's that time of year again . . .

we all need to get our Christmas cards sorted and

what better way to do it than playing along with the

Sixth Annual Month Of Holiday Cards

at

Beccy's Place

The prompt from Day 21 is the letter S

My "S" card was a Sweet Snowman Shaped card.

Things didn't work out so well with this card, as he would not stand up.

Luckily I found this problem before I adhered the rest of the Snowman face panels to the card bases.  I decided to take the opportunity to transform them into rocking cards.

I had used my Silhouette Cameo and a cut file to create the snowman panels (enlarged to be 5 3/4" tall).  Once I decided to make them in to rocking cards, I opened the snowman cut file again in my Silhouette Studio, added a snowflake frame, sized it to fit the snowman face, then added a small circle to partially cover the snowflake, a larger circle to frame the snowflakes, then cut the panels using my Cameo.  I cut the snowflake frame in half, scored the circles halfway then started adhering the layers together - large circle, half snowflake frame, small circle then snowman.

The result is a pair of snowman cards that rock and roll when you tap them.



Here is a closer look at my Super Swinging Snowman.

   

Isn't it funny, how when things don't work out as expected when crafting,

you make some changes that result in a project even better than planned?
