Holiday Blitz Day 6: Frosty the Snowman Punch Tin & another winner
Posted on: Sunday, November 23rd, 2008
How are all my favorite stampers doing today? I really hope you are all enjoying the Holiday Blitz Event and getting all sorts of fabulous ideas on creative ways to use your Stampin’ Up! products. For today’s project, I thought I’d share with you an adorable way to package up a gift for someone: my Frosty the Snowman Punched Tin.
The whole concept of creating Frosty the Snowman using punches is not my original idea – I saw him as a card on Dawn Griffith’s blog, and she apparently got the idea from someone named Juliet. I don’t know Juliet’s last name so I unfortunately I can’t share that with you. Juliet – if you are reading this, I’d love you to email me!
When I saw the Frosty card, I thought that he would look absolutely adorable on a small clear paint tin. I’ve put together a few pictures below along with a description to show you how I made him.
Step 1: To create Frosty’s face you’ll need to punch 6 circles out of Black CS using the 1/2" circle punch, two circles out of black CS using the 1" circle punch, once circle out of Pumpkin Pie CS using the 1 1/4" circle punch, and three circles out of Whisper White CS using the 1 3/8" circle punch.
Step 2: To create his eyes, I started by sticking the 1" black circles to the 1 3/8" white circles using my 2-way glue pen. I then took my white Signo gel pen and created the center of his eyes by drawing the shape of a comma.
Step 3: To create his eyelids I took one of the 1 3/8" white circles, patted my VersaMark pad all over it and heat embossed it with Iridescent Ice EP. I then cut it in half and used the halves as the eyelids. I attached them to the eyes using 2-way glue.
Step 4: You are now going to need your small clear paint tin (I purchased mine from Pritchard Packaging about a year ago. Unfortunately they are no longer selling them so I’ll need to find another source. I took my 1" double-stitched Bashful Blue Grosgrain ribbon and tied it around the bottom of the tin to act as a scarf.
Step 5: Run a strip of sticky strip all around the top edge of the tin. Take two 3/4" x 8" pieces of Black CS and using your white signo gel pen, draw stitching along the top and bottom edges. Let dry.
Step 6: Remove the backing from the sticky strip, attach the Black CS strip, overlapping the ends. Cut a black CS circle to fit the tin using the Coluzzle circle cutting system (I used the third largest circle). Draw black stitching all around the edge. Let dry, attach to the top of the tin using Sticky Strip. This creates the band of his hat.
Step 7: Punch out three flowers from Real Red CS using the three flower punch. Place a small white dot in the center of each using the White Signo Gel pen. Attach the flowers to the black CS band using 2-way glue pen.
Step 8: Attach Frosty’s face using sticky strip. To create his nose, I cut the 1 1/4" Pumpkin Pie circle in half and sponged Pumpkin Pie classic ink around the edges.
Step 9: Place your gift inside the tin and then fill the tin with cotton balls, iridescent strands and some buffalo snow (iridescent fake snow).
That’s it! Easy-peasy wasn’t it.
And now……drumroll please……the winner of yesterday’s draw for the pdf tutorial of the Christmas Planner tin is Becky Robinson! Congratulations Becky! In order to draw my winners I use the website www.random.org so that the winner is randomly drawn. Becky, please email me at andrea@sunnystampin.com in order to claim your prize!
For Holiday Blitz Day 6 I’ll be drawing another winner for the tutorial for this tin. In fact, I’ll be giving away this particular tutorial for 7 days in all. After that, it will be a different tutorial for a different project. This tutorial includes a supply list, dimensions and over 40 step-by-step color photos on how to make this project. For more details about the Holiday Blitz Event click here.
A lot of you have been emailing me and asking me if you could purchase the tutorial for this planner tin since I am unable to give it away free (because it was a special Make and Take for a paid event) The answer is yes! You can purchase the tutorial by clicking HERE.
Today’s question: What are you most thankful for this Christmas season?
Just so we’re all on the same page – the winner of today’s draw will be announced tomorrow evening (EST) when I post Holiday Blitz Day 7. You can expect our daily posts to be released in the EVENING (EST).

I’m most thankful to have my fiance home this holiday season. He was deployed with Operation Iraqi Freedom last year so it wasnt such a merry season. I’m just so lucky to have him home this year!

I’m thankful that my husband and I get to visit his family for Thanksgiving and Christmas this year. We usually only get to go once a year. But thanks to my husband’s new job, and the vacation time he got there, we get to go twice.

I am ever so thankful for my family!

I am thankful for family and friends. We live very far from our ‘real’ family and it is great that we have super friends that have become our ‘adopted’ family.
November 23rd, 2008 at 8:14 pm
I am thankful that I will be able to see my family down in Florida this holiday season!
November 23rd, 2008 at 8:21 pm
Great snowman tin and all the other creative ideas you’ve posted during this blitz! I am most thankful this year for the return of laughter in my house.
Last year was a tough year at work for myself and with too many deaths in my family. My children didn’t see much laughter from either my husband or myself. This year, we are finally all starting to heal and the silliness and fun is back. This Christmas, there are four new baby cousins in the family with one coming all the way from China to join our extended family. And Mommy has finally found her creative side again thanks to your creative postings.
Thank you.
November 23rd, 2008 at 8:26 pm

I’m thankful for my health, my job, my home, my good husband & parents who taught me right from wrong.

I’m thankful for my family; for having a job so I can clothe them, feed them, and keep a roof over their heads during these shaky economic times. I’m thankful for my wonderful parents who were such great role models for my brother and I – they’ve been married 50 years this year! I’m thankful for my coworkers, many of whom share my same ‘sickness’ for stamping! I’m thankful for our servicemen and women – I live in the land of the free because of their bravery. I will them in my thoughts and prayers this holiday season.

Things have been rough this year but I am thankful for my family especially my son, daughter and husband; friends who have been there for me; the men & women who risk their lives daily for my freedom; and for my husband’s and my jobs which allow us to take care of our family in this time of chaos and uncertainty.
Thank you for your wonderful ideas.

I am thankful for God’s everlasting love. My family and friends are true blessings in my life. I am especially thankful that my husband is still with us and continues his courageous battle with leukemia.
I am also thankful for the SU demo group that I belong to. These ladies are so supportive and kind. It is such a pleasure to meet with them each month. Not only do we try to inspire each other, but we also laugh, cry, and snack together!

Andrea, where did you get the paint cans?
I am most thankful for a job, home, food on my table, being able to give to others, family I can call or spend time with, and a deep love for all. kt

I am thankful for friends and for my church. Love the snowman and it’s just darling on the empty paint can.
November 23rd, 2008 at 11:10 pm
I’m thankful for the love and support of my daughters. They’ve seen me through a lot this past year and have been there for me. I’m also especially thankful that my fourth grandchild (boy) will be born tomorrow by c-section. I’ll post pics on my blog at: http://www.stampinandsharin.blogspot.com
Cute snowman can! Thanks again for sharing.
November 23rd, 2008 at 11:13 pm
That is an awesome paint can. I’ll have to try to figure out where I can get some of those in Lethbridge.
This Christmas I am most thankful that I do not have to work Christmas. As a new nurse I was expecting to have to work but I’ll be doing New Years instead so I can go home and spend Christmas with my family!
November 23rd, 2008 at 11:16 pm
I am most thankful for my husband, and son, and my family, for God’s love. And thankful to be a part of such a wonderful group of people called stampers, especially to my fellow SU demos. It is such a thrill to be a part of such a wonderful company and a sisterhood/brotherhood of so many generous, caring people.
And to you Andrea, for all you do!
ps…..snowman is adorable!

I am most thankful for the opportunity to slow down a little bit this holiday season and enjoy each and every second of it with my family and friends. I am thankful that I can make my holiday cards and gifts without stress. I am thankful for being able to decorate my house “just so” because I am taking the time too do it even better this year. I am taking the time to bake and cook lots of homemade meals and goodies. I am thankful for the opportunity to entertain my friends and family. I am thankful for the opportunity to do the things that I like best and make this the best holiday ever while enjoying every second of it with those that matter most to me.
November 23rd, 2008 at 11:27 pm
I am thankful for the love of God, my family and the freedom to say that each day.
November 23rd, 2008 at 11:28 pm
I am most thankful for my family and that we have been blessed with good health this past year. I am thankful that we have a roof over our heads, food on our table, and clothes to keep us warm this winter.
November 23rd, 2008 at 11:29 pm
I am thankful for so many things, but most of all, for a job that I love, my house, and my daughter, and we may not have everything, but to us, what we have is each other, which is Everything!
November 23rd, 2008 at 11:30 pm
I’m thankful for family and friends, for a warm home with food available when I want it, for the freedom I have as an American. I’m also thankful for a hope-filled future for our country.

November 23rd, 2008 at 11:33 pm
I have so many things to be thanksful for, but if I have to narrow it down, the most important things to me are my DH, my two daughters and my grandchildren. All are relatively healthy.
Cute project. Thanks again for sharing with all of us.
November 23rd, 2008 at 11:36 pm

November 23rd, 2008 at 11:43 pm

November 23rd, 2008 at 11:52 pm
I am thankful for my family and that all are healthy!
November 23rd, 2008 at 11:55 pm
I am thankful that we’ve moved closer to family, so my daughter can see her auntie and her grandparents so much more often than before. I *really* miss my friends from New England, but on that end I’m thankful that Facebook & cell phones make it so easy to keep in touch! If only someone could perfect the Star Trek “beaming” system, I’d be all set!
November 23rd, 2008 at 11:56 pm
I’m so very thankful that my family is close enough for almost all of us to get together during the holidays!
November 23rd, 2008 at 11:59 pm
I am most grateful for our friends Eric and Jen. Eric has brain anyrsom that went undiagnosed for a couple months. It has been taken care of and they just had their 2nd child, a baby girl. They said that if they hadn’t caught it that he wouldn’t have lasted 4 more months. Thanks God for miracles. That was an easy question. Thanks for all you do.
November 24th, 2008 at 12:03 am
I am thankful as always for my family but this year I will be most thankful for our first grandchild – a boy – who hasn’t arrived yet, but will be here in time for Christmas.
November 24th, 2008 at 12:12 am
I am thankful that this year I will be able to spend Christmas with BOTH of my sons. Jacob will be home from Basic Training and his older brother, George is currently/temporarily living at home and he is also enlisting and will be leaving in January for his Basic Training, so we have no idea where either will be by this time next year. So I am thankful to have them with me for sure this year and that they have decided to support their country and be amongst those protecting our freedom, like their father and grandfathers.
November 24th, 2008 at 12:13 am
I am thankful for my family, our continued health, and that we still have jobs to pay the bills.
November 24th, 2008 at 12:15 am
He’s adorable Andrea! TFS!!
I’m very thankful for Life in Christ and my family!!
November 24th, 2008 at 12:25 am
I am most thankful for having a new baby on her way any day now. My husband and I have been trying for over 10 years and finally!!! So I am thankful the good Lord is blessing us this holiday season with a child of our own.
November 24th, 2008 at 12:26 am
I am thankful for my family and friends. Mary
November 24th, 2008 at 12:27 am
This is soooo adorable. I love the mini paint can. This would be a great snowman soup container.
Meanwhile, to echo everyone else, I am thankful for my family. My parents, my husband, siblings, aunts uncles, neice, nephews, everyone- especially my little daughter Sophie who just turned 1 a few weeks ago. It will be her 2nd Christmas, but the first that she can participate.
November 24th, 2008 at 12:39 am
I am so thankful for my family and friends. We are truly blessed and I thank God for that each and every day. Have a Happy Thanksgiving! You do fabulous work!
November 24th, 2008 at 12:39 am
my family
November 24th, 2008 at 12:41 am
Saying family sounds so insincere, kind of like beauty pageant contestants I want world peace,but after nearly losing a member, family is what I am most thankful for.
November 24th, 2008 at 12:41 am
Having God in my life. I went through 15 years of my adult life not believing in God, and I am so thankful that He didn’t give up on me because His grace amd peace are such wonderful gifts to have!
November 24th, 2008 at 1:06 am
I am thankful for the creative women like you who inspire me on a daily basis to create. I have a couple of these clear paint cans and now I have something to do with them. Thanks Andrea (and Dawn!wink)!
I have a lot to be thankful for, but right now I am most thankful that I have a job.
November 24th, 2008 at 1:22 am
I am thankful for my family and friends, good health, and a good job. I know these are the normal things that we all say, but they are the elements that make life my life so rich. Not everyone has all of these things so we should always be thankful for them.
November 24th, 2008 at 1:23 am
Cute project!
This season I am thankful that my family has just about everything we need so we will be helping out those that don’t.A well for clean drinking water, we get ours from a tap. Chickens to help feed a village because we can buy ours from the store any day we want to. Warm blankets to comfort and protect,like we get just by living here in Canada. We are truly blessed!
November 24th, 2008 at 1:32 am

November 24th, 2008 at 2:08 am
I’m thankful for the love, health, and closeness that I feel with my adult daughters and my husband and the joy that my stamping business has brought me. And I am glad that Christmas only comes once a year!
November 24th, 2008 at 2:35 am
LOVE the Frosty pail!! Now I know what to do with all those tins I hoarded a while back…thank you for the great ideas and tutorials! I am thankful that my family is all in good health and also that my husband is so supportive of everything I want to do.

I am most thankful this year for my wonderful family. I am thankful that they are healthy and happy, that we have a roof over our heads in these hard times and a steady income, when lots of people don’t. I am also thankful that we are able to help others by voluteering and giving what we can.

My husband!! (who’s been unemployed since Aug 2007 and still he hasn’t gotten on my nerves) ;o)
November 24th, 2008 at 4:35 am
I am most thankful for ‘my’ family – being happy, healthy and our beautiful 3 kids. And still being there for them – after losing my mother at an early age (I was 10, she was 31)it was always ‘my’ fear.
November 24th, 2008 at 4:56 am
At the moment my friends and my mom! I am going through a tough time (split up with my boyfriend after 3 years, having a flat and a dog together)and I’m really glad they’re there for me, supporting me and distracting me day-in and day-out. Love them!

November 24th, 2008 at 7:51 am
First I am most thankful for the celebration of the birth of Jesus and the reminder of everything He continues to do for all us as Hid children. This coming Christmas I will especially thankful for our incredible family…my wonderful husband and our five children and with our eldest getting married this will be her last Christmas living at home…so it will be bittersweet for me. Mostly sweet but tinged with a little sadness.
November 24th, 2008 at 7:57 am

This is such a cute project Andrea! (but they all are!) I am most thankful this holiday season that we have the opportunity to spend this holiday with our son. This may be the last one where we can all be together-for awhile. We are grateful, because he leaves in January for Basic Training for a six year commitment to the Coast Guard. It will be a special holiday season for our family.

This is absolutely adorable. I collect snowmen so I will have to try this. I will try using glass jars.
Iam very thankful for my family. A year ago my 22 year old son almost died and had to have 4 major surgeries. He and his wife are now expecting their first child. God is good.
November 24th, 2008 at 11:22 am
I’m most thankful for my family, but most of all my daughter. My daughter is a diebtic. She takes at least 4 shots a day sometime more. Plus she has to test her blood MANY times a day. She is 14 and with school she is active in her youth group at church plus plays the drums in the Youth Praise Band at church. I almost lost her during my preg. and I thank God for her everyday.
November 24th, 2008 at 11:23 am

I am most thankful for my husband and my health. This year I have lost 125 pounds and feel more alive than I ever have! My husband has been there for every breakdown, for every scale victory, and he is just amazing!!
November 24th, 2008 at 11:51 am
My dad just went through a major surgery and is recovering well, so this year I am most thankful for my family and their good health.
November 24th, 2008 at 11:56 am
It has been a long year with many sad events, but I am thankful that God has been with us every step of the way. My husband’s brother died at the age of 30 of a brain tumor, and I am thankful for the miracle we received that we were able to spend 2 great years with him, he was alive for the birth of my 2-year-old and was able to see her many times before he died. I am also thankful for having an outlet like stamping to help me deal with the stress and depression that came with all the events of the year. I think my favorite memory of the year is that when my daughter was asked at preschool, “what does your mom like to do,” she said that I like to make things for people.
November 24th, 2008 at 12:04 pm
I am most thankful for my health, my family, my friends and time off at Christmas from many hectic occupations to re-generate the body for the upcoming year……….

November 24th, 2008 at 2:10 pm
What an adorable tin!! He’s so cute! I will have to make up a tin or two for those friends who love their snowmen!
The thing I’m most thankful for is my family! We’ll all be together. . .trekking 1000 miles to go see them in a whirlwind 5 day trip. . .but it’ll be a memory and we’ll make the most out of it! Gotta love those car trips!! They are the best!
