Paper piece an ADORABLE slimline snowman card using Lawn Fawn!
Hi there! Happy Sunday AND Happy World Kindness Day! Be sure to read this whole post and check out the bottom of the post for an exclusive Gift with Purchase going on today! Please join me in welcoming back special guest Tammy Stark showcasing some gorgeous Lawn Fawn inspiration! Isn’t she so talented?! Keep reading and enjoy!

Hello friends! I’m so excited to be on the Simon Says Stamp blog with a project highlighting some brand new Lawn Fawn products! I created a holiday/winter slimline card featuring some adorable snowmen, having some winter fun!

To begin, I die cut some Bristol smooth cardstock using the largest slimline die from the Large Slimline With Sliders Dies, then ink blended the background using Peacock Feathers and Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide inks. I then splattered some Peacock Feathers, thinned with water, and white acrylic paint onto the background to create a bit of interest. Next, I die cut a snowy hill from Bristol smooth cardstock using the Slimline Stitched Hillside Borders Dies. I lightly inked the edge of the snowy border with Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide ink, then attached to the background.
I die cut the snowmen and accessories using the Build-A-Snowman Dies and Woodland Critter Huggers Winter Add-On Dies. I die cut the snowmen and accessories using the following cardstock colors:
- 80 LB. White Cardstock
- Chili Pepper Cardstock
- Teal Textured Canvas Cardstock
- Green Textured Canvas Cardstock
- Pink Textured Canvas Cardstock
- Brown Textured Canvas Cardstock
- Black Licorice Cardstock
- Canned Pumpkin Cardstock
I added some depth to the die cuts using Copic Markers, then added white highlights using the Sakura White Gelly Roll Pen.

Next, I assembled the snowmen and arranged them onto the inked background. I added some Mini Snowflakes die cut from Pixie Dust Sparkle Cardstock to add the perfect touch of shimmer. Lastly, I die cut Black Licorice cardstock using the Everyday Sentiment Banner Dies. I then embossed the sentiment from the Snow One Like You Stamp Set using White Embossing Powder and attached to the bottom of my card to complete my card!
Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope I inspired you to create something “SNOW” special with some new Lawn Fawn products at Simon Says Stamp! Hugs! – Tammy
