Use Let It Snow Scraps To Make Christmas Cards

Let It Snow Snowmen Christmas Card

By now you have probably used up most of your fun Let It Snow Specialty Designer Series Paper unless you are a paper hoarder! And we all want to hoard this fun paper with the glittery snowmen on it. However, if you did actually cut up the sheets with the snowmen, you know it required drastic steps, perhaps destroying parts of the snowmen design. I know you didn’t throw away a bit of the scraps, so look through them now and see what you can make! You might still be able to salvage some snowmen!

On this first card, I had a smallish piece of designer paper with the two snowpeople on it. I just added extra layers so it would make a full card. And I jazzed up the snowmen by adding some stick arms and a scarf and hat. These pieces were from the Let It Snow Embellishment Kit. Don’t forget to use the cardstock cheat trick by punching out or die-cutting some pieces from the center of the cardstock that is going to be covered up anyway. No one will ever know!

On this card, I was able to save these two snowpeople and just made a smaller card! Make a 4 1/4′ x 4 1/4″ card or 4″ x 4″ size, whatever the piece of designer paper will fit best. On this one, just a little designer paper at the top and bottom of the snowman paper was enough to set off the focal point snowmen. Once you add a greeting and embellish the card a little bit you will have a great card even with a smaller piece of designer paper than you might have used.

Remember, sometimes the opposite side of the paper can be used long after the holidays. Often, we aren’t as familiar with the other side of the paper as we are of the well-known image.

If you have really small pieces of this Let It Snow Designer Paper, remember, you can make tags for gifts! Usually we run out before all the packages are wrapped, so it’s a good idea to make extra tags! Especially if you haven’t started wrapping packages yet1

Have fun making your last minute holiday cards, tags, and treats!

You may have seen these on my Facebook page last week when my website wasn’t working, but I thought I would go ahead and post these Snowman Season Tic Tac Holder Stocking Stuffers here on my blog so more people will see them. They are easy and fun to make and lots of us want some stocking stuffer or little extra gift ideas for people for Christmas.

I had fun making these Tic Tac holders with the Snowman Season stamp set and Let It Snow designer paper! Just punch a hole in his belly so you can see the Tic Tacs! Or don’t. I used the 3/4″ Circle Punch (retired) since the 1″ was a little too large for these snowmen. But if you are making another design and can use a 1″ Circle Punch, it’s good to show a bigger area of the mints inside!

The first Snowman Season Tic Tac Holder is a strip of 2″ x 9″ cardstock, scored at 1″, 1 5/16″, and 4 3/16. Then turn and score from the other end with the same measurements. Punch each end with the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch or whatever you like. Or leave it squared off. Kind of pinch the top together along the score lines and then decorate. You have to punch the snowman (this one punched from the DSP with the Snowman Punch), then through the DSP, then through the cardstock if you want the Tic Tacs to show. Tie at the top. I used some retired Real Red ribbon.

This snowman is cut out from the Let It Snow Specialty Designer Series Paper. (It is no longer available but I know lots of you have it) Then I stamped, colored and punched out his hat and punched out his arms with the Snowman Punch.

The second one is kind of like a book just folded around the container. Cut cardstock at 3 1/4″ x 4 7/8″ Score at 2 1/8″ x 2 3/4″, round the corners if desired. Cut a piece of designer paper 3 1/8″ x 1 7/8″ to layer. Stamp and punch snowman. Use a 3/4″ Circle Punch for the belly. Be sure to wrap the ribbon around before adding layers to the front.

Have fun! Great stocking stuffer! There are different sizes of Tic Tac products so just modify your design to fit. This idea has been around a long time and is always fun to make!
