The 12 Projects of Christmas 2026: Project #7

We're already on Project #7 of my 12 Projects of Christmas 2026, and this little guy just makes me SMILE! ☃️ Thanks to Debbie Henderson for the inspiration on this one! She made a similar card back in 2024.

Today we're creating an adorable snowman card using a few simple supplies, some creative die-cutting, and a little hand-drawn personality!

I started with a Secret Sea cardstock base and added a Cloud Cover cardstock hat. Don't you love those colors together? The stitching around the hat is actually stamped using the Stitched Stocking stamp set. It's such a fun way to add a little detail without pulling out a needle and thread!

The holly leaves and berries on his hat were created using dies from the Stitched Stocking Bundle, while the eyes were made with circle dies from another bundle. I cut his carrot nose freehand from a 1" strip of Pumpkin Pie cardstock. No special die needed for that!

And here's where the personality comes in! I used a White Gel Pen to add little highlights to his eyes and a black journaling marker to draw that big, happy smile. Every snowman you make can have his own expression. How fun is that?!

I finished the hat with the sweet Sending Warm Wishes This Christmas greeting from the Stitched Stocking stamp set and Secret Sea ink.

Is a card really finished unless the inside has something nice? I decided to keep it simple by stamping the snowflakes from the Stitched Stockings Dies at the top of the Basic White insert in Cloud Cover ink, leaving plenty of space to write a message, too.

You can watch me make the card right here:

This is one of those cards that's just plain FUN to make, and I think it'll bring a smile to anyone who receives it!

Be sure to watch the video tutorial above to see how this frosty little fellow comes together!

Happy Stamping!
