Snowmen Meeting Tag Tutorial

Hello friends! It is Monday and I hope you had a good weekend! We went to the movies and I spent Sunday at a Christmas market. We have gotten even more snow.

This week we have a Winter Blues theme at the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog. Since it is the first Monday of a new month, the team is showcasing a specific designer/company. This week it is Tim Holtz. You can find Tim's fantastic range of products here. You don't have to use his products to join in the challenge, but it is always fun if you do. 

We also have a new guest designer and during December Rox aka Red Dirt Crafter will be joining us again. Don't miss looking at her wonderful project.

I had this idea of a whole crowd of snow people and decided to fill a tag with snowmen. This tag was fun to do! They are all wearing scarfs and hats and the bodies are made from homemade glitter paper. The snowmen were die cut with Tim's Twig & Stump set.

Start by coating watercolor paper with Sparkle Texture Paste. Let dry.

Die cut the snowmen from the sparkly paper and also from Slate Gray Simon Says Stamp cardstock.

Die cut scarfs, hats and carrots from scrap pieces of watercolored or inked papers, as well as from Simon Says Stamp glitter, velvet and Holographic paper.

Coat a tag with gesso and when dry, add Ranger Crackle Paste to the sky. The cracks appear as the paste dries.

Paint with watered-down Distress Paint.

The bottom layer of snowmen were glued to the tag.

Move them around first until you are happy with the placement. 

I also die cut some snowflakes from Simon Says Stamp Holographic cardstock.

The mix of sparkly, velvet, glitter and inky papers give interest to the snowmen.

This little snowman is looking up at the others.

The sentiments were stamped with Simon Says Stamp Pawsitively Saturated Surf ink using the Simon Says Stamp Holiday Greeting's set.

The ribbons were dyed with Distress Ink to coordinate with the tag.

Adhere the front snowmen with Simon Says Stamp Pawsitively Perfect Foam Tape.

Aren't they a happy bunch of snow people?
