During the blog hop, from today through Sunday July 17, the Sparkle Team presents all of the SNS Winter Holiday stamps on a super special - 20% off! (exception is Spellbinders Combos).
Since those hot and humid days are settling in for a lot of us, I think these two cards will help to cool you down. And what better way than to stamp up some snowman cards.
This snowman is in set 340 Dancing Snowman. He is so cute and he's dancing and tipping his hat to you. Can't you picture him on one of your Christmas card designs.
I have him sitting offset on top of a blue snowflake that was made with a punch. Next, I added brushable glue to that snowflake and covered it with Sparkling Snow Glitter G1003
I embossed the card front with a snowflake embossing folder and lightly covered those embossed images with Memento Ink - Summer Sky 99620.
I found some swirly silver ribbon and pleated it to finish this card.
My next card, is another snowman also from Set 340 and this stamp is known as Top Hat - Snowman. He is framed using a frame from a Cuttlebug Emboss Plus folder. The Dotty Flakes are a great addition to this snowy card too and are also in this set.. I used Poolside EP (EP393) and Silver Lightning EP (EP262) on this card and used that swirly silver ribbon to tie it all together.
I hope my cards have helped to cool you down.
Don't forget, I might be one of “The Five” with a secondary prize, so take a minute to leave a comment to become eligible for the Grand Prize and one of the 5 secondary prizes, then hop on over to Patti's blog for more "cool" ideas.
Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!!

Darling cards! I love that pleated ribbon and all of the glitter of course!
Brrrr, Cold! I can feel the chill from the cascading ice in your pleated ribbon and sparkled die cuts! Very sweet custom designer paper with the snowflakes, and a darling framed snowman! Beautiful cards, Barbara!
I love snowmen and snowflakes. Your shimmery cards really show them off so sweetly! I like the embossed backgrounds and that glittery snowflake seems a perfect spot for your frosty little character. Great ribbon choice!
Thanks for sharing! :)
The ribbon and sparkle on your cards is so neat! Love these cool snowmen, Barbara!
Love your snowmen, Barbara! The ribbon and glitters really tie everything together!
Snowmen in baby blue say winter to me! These 2 cards are just adorable Barbara.
You make me wish we had snow down here. Those snowmen are too cute. I love the colors and finishing touches.
Great cards Barbara! They are cooling me right down. I really like the colors you used.
These are so cute, Barbara! Love the frosty colors and wonderful pleated ribbon. Really super!
You can just feel the chill in the air with those cool light colors. Beautiful cards, Barbara. Brenda
I love the snowman and the ribbon on the side really dresses the card up. Great work!
I love both your cards, but the ribbon and snowman is gorgeous.

How very cute Barbara. Love all the different elements you used on each card, especially the pleated ribbon I guess I'm going to have to put that set on my wish list. Great job. Shona
Those snowmen and all that glitter are making me feel the chill! Clicked on each card & they look even more sparkly & pretty up close! Great cards Barbara!
The pleated ribbon was a nice touch to the first card. Nice work.
Oh, your Top Hat Snowman card is so cute Barbara. I really liked it. Thanks for sharing your ideas with us. Peg K.
I like the effect of the sparling snow glitter. Now I have an idea as to how to use it on my cards. Thank you for sharing.
Beautiful ribbon. I love the way you used Nestabililties to frame the snowmen.
Yes, the snowmen did cool me down, but got a couple ideas of what to use with my snowflake folder-a light touch of blue....and adding cut out snowflakes with the snowmen...neat cards.
I love your first card, Barbara! You gave me a wonderful idea in the way you brushed lightly the embossed background to make it stand out. It is as delicate as lace. Does the snowman actually cast a shadow or did you color a shadow in? Simply stunning! Thank you for sharing!
Great cards! Love snowmen; your combination of colors and images is inspiring.
What fun and whimsical cards. Both snowmen would warm any heart. Great job! Thanks so much
Loved how the snowmen look like their looking right at you. Thanks
I love the sparkly snowmen. Both different but, both just wonderful. Thanks for sharing.
I really like your treatment of the embossed snowflakes. It's a great background. "Happy Winter" is a cheery look. I like it very much.

Love the snowmen on both cards and the little touch of color on the background snowflakes of the first! Wonderful work!
You have inspired me to pull out my snowmen, glitter, and ribbon and make cards! I know it is 11 pm but the night is still young. Thank you.

Where did you find that lovely silver swirly ribbon? I especially like your first card with the snowman tipping his hat & the summer sky ink on the embossed snowflake background.
You used some lovely blues on your cards! And the ribbons really add a beautiful accent! These are CUTE snowmen and make for great wintry cards!
