Naughty Snowmen Punch Pals
Posted on: Thursday, November 12th, 2009
This week I decided to do something decidedly winterish for my project. The project itself is not yet made into an item, but it is intended to go towards re-decorating my daughters binder with a winter theme. As soon as she brings it home, I will redo it and post it. Anyhow, this week I decided on some naughty little snowmen. I love adding expression by changing the position of the eyes and hands and in the way the body is held. It was really hard to do the video because there are so many variations and expressions that I would have loved to show you, unfortunately with only ten minutes to a video, it becomes really hard to show much. I hate being rushed, but oh well, what can you do? So the standing snowman is holding and throwing snowballs, and his victim is laying on the ground with the offending snowball on his head. The third snowman is designed to go to the side and is showing shock over the whole affair.
Tutorial:
- Decide on the layout or scene that you want to project with your snowmen, and create them in the correct positions. The hat was created with a circle punch the same size as the snowman’s head and a 1/2″ circle punch for the pom-pom.
- Next hand rip or cut the snow banks from Whisper White CS, sponge lightly with Tempting Turqoise ink.
- Take your blue CS ( I used Soft Sky) and sponge the edges with Tempting Turqoise ink.
- Glue down by applying glue to the bottom of the banks only. This will allow you to lift the top portion to tuck the snowmen into.
- Add stamped and cut trees to the BG with the trunks tucked into the snow bank. Glue the snowmen down, add highlights with the Signo White gel pen and hand draw snowflakes.
- Add Snowballs with Stampin’ Dimensionals and then add glitter with your 2-way glue pen. Glitter was added to the snowballs and snowbanks.

~*BRILLIANT!!*~
This card cracked me up!
I will have to try my hand at this for my son. He will LOVE it.
Every winter he builds a “snowman house of horrors”on our front lawn. Picture a snowman playing hockey with the other snowman’s head as the puck,or a snow cannon blowing a hole through a snowman’s belly.Get the picture? (I can thank Clavin & Hobbes for inspiring him!) Now I have inspiration to make him something personal that he will truly appreciate. THANKS FOR SHAING YOUR TALENT & ART!!

OH my heavens, this totally reminds me of my three older kids, one standing by in astonishment while the other two are going at it, but I can’t tell you which one is standing by because in a sense each one of them does that. Naughty snowmen/children. I can’t stop laughing about this one!!! Great job Sophia
November 26th, 2009 at 10:42 pm
Is this card the standard size of 4.25 x 5.5? or is it slightly larger?
