A new snowman stamp!



My last Christmas card to share with you before Christmas. Yes I bought a new set of Whimsy stamps because of the two snowmen. I have this image as a coloured Sassy Cheryl digi and have always loved it so when I saw that Whimsy had released it as part of a set I had to buy it. I coloured it with Copics and used a pearl pen for the snow. I used the adhesive glitter card from Craft Label and Sue Wilson poinsettia dies. The sentiment stamps are part of the stamp set.

The number of Coronavirus cases is rising alarmingly so we have been staying at home this week, apart from an early visit to a local shop for a few things yesterday. We move into tier 4 on Saturday so we will be staying home anyway. Thank goodness for lots of indoor hobbies. Wishing you all a Merry Christmas. Have the best Christmas you can in these troubled times x

Thank you for all your lovely inspiration and day to day life stories (so far) have a lovely Christmas despite everything - we are 'hunkered down' with plenty of food in the freezer to keep us going for now.

See you next year.

Love Sassy Cheryl's snowmen Marianne and this is a great card.
Surprisingly we are remaining in Tier 3 where we have been since October - but as we're not going anywhere anyway and with no family to miss seeing it doesn't make any difference! Although I am laying a bet that a stiffer restriction will also be heading it's way here soon.
Stay safe and Happy Christmas. xx

Beautiful card and love the snowman. We are moving into tier 3 but have been only going out when necessary as I look after my dad. I wish you and hubby a wonderful Christmas. Where would we be without our hobbies!!!

I love this snowman image Marianne. I love the blue and the red....a perfect card! We are in lockdown as of midnight tonight as the numbers are climbing! We have lots of food and I have lots of card making I would love to accomplish...so all is good here. I am hoping to maybe get started really really early on Christmas cards for next year as I felt so behind this year!
You and Graham have a wonderful Christmas and see you in the New Year as your blog is an inspiration every morning with my breakfast before heading to work!

Hello Marianne, I love your snowman, he's so jolly and coloured beautifully, it's a lovely card with that gorgeous glitter card in the background.
All of mainland Scotland will move to tier 4 on Boxing day, only the Islands will be in tier 3. That's a huge leap for us as we were in tier 1, but it is what it is.
Have a lovely Christmas Day, and let's hope for a better New Year, Kate x

A lovely snowman card Marianne and I love the colours you've used too.

We're still Tier 2 but are having a Christmas at home rather than going away in our campervan as planned. Better to be safe than sorry!

Have a great Christmas.

Adorable card, the snowman is so lovely and love all the sparkling all around!
Lockdown also in Italy. After 2019 years this is the first time that it isn't possible for people hug loved ones. So sad.

Such a fun image! LOVE the way you've coloured it Marianne, the frame is fab! Hope you've had a truly gorgeous Christmas. I've been struggling to fit everything in this year, so not visited half as much as I'd like to have! But always love seeing your posts on social media. Sending hugs and love from New Zealand, Wends xoxo
