Cross Stitched Snowman Card

Anything goes this month over at  the Paper Smooches January Challenge. 

I am loving these new Stitched Circle Die and the matching Embroidery Hoop. It took a while to embroider this little snowman, but was well worth it (and, fun to do in front of the TV in the evening!). First, I used a stamp of a snowman from the Warm Hearts stamp set on a matching circle die to use as a reference for stitching. I'm not a cross stitcher so I'm not sure how to make round objects, but I still love the way he turned out! It is popped up over the frame.

 I also used the pretty Ribbon die topped with clear Nuvo Crystal Drops. The fun frame shape, Antique Frame, comes from Penny Black.


Also shared with the Three Amigos Blog Hop Challenge!

Thanks for stopping by, and a special thanks to all that leave comments!

      When I think of the snowmen I used to actually make from snow, they were kind of lumpy too, LOL! Thanks, Lisa!
