Chubby Snowman Card and Lovable Animals Valentine's Cards




Happy watercolor weekend! For my first card, I stitched a snowflake while visiting my family during Christmas. When I got home, I knew I needed a cute little snowman and smaller snowflakes to go with it. The Chubby Snowman Set (5351) and the Snowflake Frame Set (5782) were perfect choices.

I painted the snowman using Tombow markers in the following colors: 312, 565, 969, 879, 977, 850, 025, 526, 933, 856, N55, and N75. I selected the Winter Woodland collection for the paper inside and outside the card. I die-cut the snowflakes from some silver foil and blue paper. 

I incorporated sentiments from the Christmas Sentiments Set inside the card (5566). To add more detail, I added snowflakes and a decorative edge to the Winter Woodland paper pack. For the final touch, I used Dr. Ph. Martin's Bleed Proof White to add details to the snowman.











For my second card, I wanted to create a cute animal-themed Valentine's card. The Lovable Animals stamp set with dies is perfect for this project! 

To start, I stamped the animals using permanent ink and then painted them with the following Tombow markers: 850, 856, 933, 025, 526, N55, N65, N75, 772, 977, 992, and 177. After that, I cut out all the elements and sponged around the edges of the large hearts and bows with a red stamp pad. I then glued the die cuts to the front of the card.

To make the popup heart inside the card, I cut a piece of matching cardstock measuring 3/4" wide by 3" long. I scored the paper at 1 1/2" in the center and scored each end at 1/4". After folding all the scored lines, I glued the flaps inside the card—one at the top and one at the bottom. You can then attach anything you’d like to pop up. I added a few extra details inside, and my card was finished.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Thank you so much!
