Since my boys were born I like to make an ornament for them every Christmas so then when they are on their own they will have a small collection of ornaments for their own trees. I decided to do double duty and create a project that my stamp club could make that could also be the ornament for my boys. I also think it would be nice accent on a bottle of wine for a hostess gift for all those Christmas parties you go to. You'll be sure to get the "You MADE this???" question!
It's kind of hard to see in the photo but the treat cup is filled with fake snow. Some of my Stampin' Ladies added a bit of Dazzling Diamonds to the fake snow for some extra pop. His scarf is made from Cherry Cobbler seam binding and his hat has a strip of champagne glass glitter. The loop for hanging is just a bit of white embroidery floss. The rosy cheeks are made with Regal Rose Watercolor Wonder crayon & blender pen.
Here are the instructions for putting this snowman together. It's easier to do a visual than to type it up. I have on the instructions that you need 2 of all the pieces because one set is for the backside so you have a nice neat & clean finished product.
Have fun making this Frosty, or Henry, as my friend named her Sweet Treat snowman!
Thanks for looking! Happy Stamping!
