Hi, friends! ❄️

I’m so excited to be this month’s Guest Designer for Jaded Blossom Stamps! Today I’m sharing a bright and cheerful winter card featuring the brand-new Gnome Friends: Snowman Dies—and let me tell you, this one was so much fun to make. I went bold with color, layered textures, and little pops of magenta to bring this snowman to life.

Let’s dive into how this vibrant winter scene came together!

❄️ How I Made This Card

1. Create the Vibrant Winter Sky

I started with a piece of smooth white cardstock and blended three Distress Oxide colors across the panel:

Picked Raspberry → Seedless Preserves → Villainous Potion.

These colors blend into the most magical, vibrant winter sky—perfect for a playful snowman.

2. Add the Snowstorm Texture

Using the FREE Snowstorm Stencil from Jaded Blossom, I applied Brutus Monroe Quartz White Sand Paste over the ink-blended background.I expected it to dry bright white, but instead it absorbed the Distress Oxide colors beneath it… and I ended up loving it even more!

It created a soft, textured snowstorm without covering up my blend.

3. Die-Cut and Assemble the Snowman

While the background dried, I die-cut all the pieces from the Gnome Friends: Snowman Dies.

Snowman base: white cardstock
Scarf, gloves, earmuffs: magenta cardstock for a fun pop of color
Arms: tan cardstock
Eyes & mouth: black cardstock
Carrot nose: orange cardstock

There are optional layering pieces included in the set for extra dimension, but I kept my snowman simple and clean for this design.

4. Build the Snowy Ground

To give my snowman a place to stand, I die-cut a snow hill from white cardstock using the Lawn Fawn Stitched Hillside Border.

The stitched detail ties in beautifully with the snowman’s stitched edges.

I stamped the sentiment “Hello Winter” from the Winter is Gnoming stamp set using matching purple ink.

The sentiment strip was popped up at the bottom of the panel using foam tape.

5. Assemble the Scene

Once the textured background was completely dry, I layered everything together:

Snow hill adhered with foam tape
Snowman popped up for dimension
A few Taylored Expressions white clay snowflakes sprinkled around for extra wintry charm

✨ Finished Card & Final Thoughts

I absolutely adore how this card turned out—bright, happy, textured, and full of winter magic. The Snowman Dies are so fun to work with, and pairing them with a vibrant non-traditional color palette really made the design pop.
