Christmas Ornament Series – week 9

6 Weeks ‘Til Christmas – Holiday Ornament Countdown with Kitchen Sink Stamps continues!

🎶 … Thumpety thump, thump, thumpity thump, thump, look at Frosty go.
Thumpety thump, thump, thumpity thump, thump, over the hills of snow. 🎶

This week’s ornament is a Frosty Snowman

Stamps to make this ornament: Invisible Snowman Multi-Step Clear Stamps, Holly & Mistletoe Multi-Step Clear Stamps, and Owl & Autumn Moon Multi Step  Clear Stamps (for snowman’s face) from Kitchen Sink Stamps.

Using Solar White Classic Crest from Neenah and the coordinating KSS SVG cut files, 

• Cut out:
  • One top hat, scarf, carrot nose, pipe, one button eye of each size from Invisible Snowman.
  • One small holly with berries from Holly & Mistletoe.
• Stamp all cutouts following color recipes from the links below. 
• Brush Clear – Wink of Stella to hat band, red stripes in the scarf, carrot nose, and holly and berries.
• Stamp snowman’s face directly on the wood disk. I use Step #1 of the moon from Owl & Autumn Moon, but any 2″ circle will work. 
  • I first stamped the snowman’s face with Frost White (Color Box).
  • Then added Kaleidoscope clear embossing powder (Stampedous).
  • Then stamp coal mouth with Onyx Black (VersaFine).
• Adhere top hat, scarf, eyes, nose, pipe, and holly with pop dots.
  • TIP: Once the scarf and top hat were in place, I glued wooden toothpicks to the back of the top hat and scar that extends beyond the wood disk. The toothpicks give these pieces extra support. (see photo below)
