Snowmen in a Paint Can

So, when a challenge is thrown down - I'm often one to pick it up.... here is my nod to to the LNS Challenge of Snowmen this week....
my 3D Snowmen in a Paint Can!
 
Using Circle Punches in 1", 1-1/4" & 1-3/8" sizes I punched 4 of each out of Whisper White card stock.  (This creates the larger Snowman.)  The smaller Snowman is the 3/4", 1" & 1-1/4" Circle Punches from the Idea Book - again cutting 4 of each size out in Whisper White card stock. 

 
 Folding each circle in 1/2 I then adhered them together w/ a Hot Glue Gun (careful, it's hot, and yes, I did burn my fingers on this project - lol).  Using a scrap of cardstock in a 1/4" strip I built all four circles around this strip so I could build UP each smaller circle.  This holds all three together!
 
With another circle I then folded a cardstock in 1/2 and then cut a notch out so that I could have it hold onto the bottom/largest 'Snow ball' so it could stand up. 

Adhering the two build snow men and their bases to a circle of Window Sheets (Idea Book) I now had my snowman base.  This Paint Can is a stunning royal blue - I didn't want to take away from it. 
 
Cutting a Window Sheet so that I could create falling snow I used our Basic Jewels Pearls in the three sizes.  Creating random placement I then flipped it over and had the matching size on the back - they now look like falling 3D Snowballs!!!!  (How cute is that?!?!)
 

Placing it between the Snow Man and Snow Child (larger and smaller) it has this cool 3D look, falling Snow and a cool Snow Globe feel without any mess!
 



Here is a look at the Darling Duo -
who wouldn't want to recieve these little guys?!?!
 

 My kids are enamoured with this and my baby girl can't get enough of walking around w/ them.  With a High of 51* here in Southern California... we don't see snow around our neck of the woods. 
This is a cool way to capture that feel with none of the mess!
 
What would YOU do with a Snowman or two?!?!  Who would you give this to?
Thank you for coming by, taking a look and feel free to share and leave a comment, it's always appreciated!

What Others are SAYING about Getting Crafty with Jamie

Jamie is so passionate and creative about making cards - and wants everyone else to join her in the fun! She is so encouraging and positive in her attitude, helping me along when I get frustrated - and then rejoicing with me at the finished product! I love going to her classes to get new ideas, learn techniques, and have loads of fun in the process. ~ Christine C.

Jamie has wicked awesome classes! If you don’t like a particular stamp or paper/ink color Jamie wants you to change it to suit your style! I did my sister-in-law’s entire bridal shower from invitations/thank you cards, party favors to decorations, it was quaint and whimsical! Everyone ooh’d and ahh’d! I’ve had lots of special requests for classes and Jamie delivers; she always has tasty treats and flavored coffees too ~Ashley W.

I have been attending Jamie's classes for over a year. Her ideas for cards are fresh and fun. She always tries to have several different styles of cards available, so everyone gets to make cards that fit their personal style. The techniques she shows each class can be used in many different applications. She is very patient teacher when instructing class members on how to use the Stampin Up products. ~ Carol D.

If I looked up the word sparkle in the dictionary, I would find Jamie Albanese picture there. I have had the sweet blessing of knowing Jamie and her family for over 5 years now. Every time I am with her I feel loved and inspired. When I am in one of her classes I feel my creative juices flow, as she encourages me to go outside my comfort zone. Jamie helped our girl scout troop make cards for a soldier who needed some encouragement!!! For any of you who have not been in one of Jamie's classes, please don't let another day slip by. She is a beautiful friend and she will become yours too. ~ Blessings, Karen:-)

Jamie has a great eye for style and flair, and it shows in her work. Yet she can pick up on your own individual style and makes great recommendations. I love that she is always flexible for last-minute decision maker mommies like me! So much fun to host craft events with your friends and family - that personal touch always means so much. ~ Adonna
