I know - it's summer and I'm making snowmen! I only have so many Accucut dies to enter the 2nd Annual Accucut Grandemark Challenge with, so work with me here! I used the Album Builder Snowman die set to make these shaped cards. Not particularly imaginative, I know, but the die is just so darned cute!
I was going to stamp a flourish on the outside or a message, but I didn't have a nice light blue ink. I have a chalk ink but it was way too faint. I used my Frost Blue Copic marker to line the edges of these cards. The hearts are cut from felt and are popped up with foam tape. I put little faces on the inside too and the message goes on the belly.
So, then I tried to think of something a little more imaginative for these snowmen. I made an accordion holiday decor banner for the word Joy.
On this one, the middle snowman's hat is cut from sparkly black felt and I used the Album Builder Snowflake die set to make the centre snowflakes for the letter "O".
It is still not super creative, so I decided to try one other thing. I used the tip from an Accucut Craft video to make this garden stake snowman couple for holiday decor. I bought the pail and some flower foam at Dollarama along with the plastic beads. Even the "stakes" are from Dollarama. They are barbeque shish-ka-bob skewers.
You could decorate the pail too, but I liked it plain like a true ice bucket.
Since I used that video tip, these snowmen can be removed from the stakes and still stand on their own.
I have more challenge entries in the works! I've constructed a 3D project. It took so long to figure out the construction that I'm drawing a blank on how to decorate it now that it is constructed! Accucut just released some new dies. None of them are "must have" for me, but I do so *love* their new 3D lantern die. If I win the contest, it's going on my shopping spree list!
