Impression Obsession Quick and Easy Card Hop Day 1

 Hello Crafting friends and happy holiday as December begins!

A quick way to make a card is to use decorative paper.  I die cut this piece of 5" square wintery paper in the center with DIE1315 Stitched Squares (which is a 4" square). I then popped out the outer frame and glued the center down to give some dimension.

The scarf is die cut from Christmas Plaid.

I used white glitter paper for the head and green glitter paper for the holly leaves.

The small hearts are from the Primitive Snowman die set.

To me the key to quick and easy is to have a stash of premade background panels!  I usually make a bunch whenever I get my craft sheet out.  I use Oxide pads or sprays and some times Mica sprays.  For this panel I used spray inks and water then added Kosher salt (large chuck salt) to get the fun snowing effect (let the salt dry on the panel then brush it off in the trash).

The ribbon is seam binding that I put in some inky water leftovers on the craft sheet.

This snowman is so adorable and you can make him look anyway you want with eye, nose and dots for mouth all separate parts.  The scarf can be paper pieces or in this case, just cut from 2 papers to create a stripe pattern.
