Mr Frostie Christmas Cards 2025

 When I first saw the Tim Holtz Mr Frostie stamp set, I fell in love!  I waited until this year to include it on my Christmas card - Simon Says Stamp created dies to match!  Then I saw Kristina Werners Christmas products at Concord & 9th - heaven!!!

My hubby helped me mass produce this card.  Actually, he's helped the past few years and we make a great team.

Mr Frostie was stamped on a firm white card stock, his head and his scarf with Tuxedo Black ink.  To make it easier for mass production, I made sure that all stamping was on one 4 1/2 x 5 1/2 piece that would fit all die pieces = one pass through the die cut machine.  The scarf was colored with Copics BG11 and BG32.  His nose used YR04 and YR07 and blush was RV52.  Next was Elegant Holiday Greetings, stamped with Versafine Onyx Black, sprinkled clear embossing powder and finally melted with a heat tool.

Using Exact Vellum Bristol, I added a blended background using Ocean Breeze and Sparkling Raspberry with those fabulous Pinkfresh Studio one inch brushes.  Then using the Snowflake Season Background Stamp and Misty Coast in my Misti the entire 4 x 5 1/4 piece was stamped.  For even more dimension, I used Snowflake Season Die, the big one, and ran that through my Anna Griffin Empress Elite.  Once I had a bunch of them cut, I placed them carefully on a spray box and covered them with Imagine Sheer Shimmer Spray in Sparkle.

Now time to assemble.  The sparkly snowflake was carefully glued and trimmed to fit. Then the background piece glued to the Accent Opaque 120 lb card base. Next the embossed sentiment was attached with Foam Tape leaving room for Mr Frostie.  His scarf is attached and he also was glued down.  I thought this card needed more sparkle - so I pulled out a glittery watercolor palette and using a water brush I added orange shimmer to the bottom of his nose and a gold color to the hat buckle.  Last but not least, Crystal Stickles added flat dots over the entire background.
