There's No Business Like Snow Business Blog Hop

There's Snow Business like Snow Business with all the friendly snowman putting on a show for you today. All I need is a cane and a top hat to start singing now or be Frosty the Snowman and shout "Happy Birthday"!  It may be Frosty and Cold outside but it's warm inside as long as you stay bundled up sledding through our hop!

We have a wonderful line-up for you to either grab your tobagon, sled, sleigh or ski's to check out the craftiness -- grab that hot cocoa and don't forget the marshmallows AND whipped cream, soft blankie, stay warm and snuggly and check out how we build a snowman before he melts!

If you happened upon my blog in error, I do want you to begin at the beginning of building Frosty by stopping by Miss Kari.

We do have some snow candy for you today for stopping by but you need visit all the snow drifts along the way and leaving a warm snuggly comment but just watch out for the yellow snow! Just check out the ribbon, chipboard snowflakes, clear stamp along with a light mauve stamp pad and just some added bling bling and crystal stickles!!!! A great way to build that personal snowman of yours!!!



In the meantime, let's get on with the SNOW . . .

I made a snowman card using the file "Build a Snowman" from SVG Attic. I just my snowman at 6.5 inches and welded to snowmen together.

I then sized all his other pieces to fit...

Remember that when you weld two silhouettes together that everything has to go on the one right hand one because the one on the left if the back of your card.

Once Mr. Snowman was cut I had some fun with the embellishments. I found some mini (and I do mean mini) buttons in my button stash and I added some glitter Modge Pod to his heart and finally I added green flocking to the rim and ball on his cap
.

For some added touches I used my Cuddle Bug and did a snowflake embossing all over Mr. Snowman and then I used silver glitter mist on him also. You can't see the silver glitter mist in the pictures but it's there.

Hugs from Jearise in Lorby's World and now the hop is at an end, our snowmen have started to melt, I hope you felt the warmth they send for a very special day.

SVG attic gift card holders

Aren't these little gift card holders adorable? They are so useful the whole year through and the svg files for them are available at SVG attic. I made mine with Christmas in mind but you can use these for anniversaries or birthdays also. They are cut from the file

: HOLIDAY CHEER

While the adorable little snow girl came from the file: 

BUILD A SNOWMAN

I cut each box at different settings so one is bigger than the other. The settings for the smaller box which go with the Sizzix, eClips and eSCAL are: outside cut W 5.286 inches and H 9.130 inches; inside cut W 4.325 inches and H 6.727 inches; inside tag W 4.069 and H 7.579 and the bottom, middle and stamp area are W 2.422 and H 1.211 with the rosette being cut at W 3.00 by 11.250. I used only two strips for my rosette but I would break apart the strips and add a third one next time.
Here are move views of the boxes...

 The bigger box not only holds the gift card but also the cardboard backing it is attached to.

The small box just holds the gift card.

Both files are available at SVG attic

Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas. Jearise in Lorby's World.
