- Magnifique technique in 3 easy steps: 1) Ink your image with VersaMark and stamp onto card stock. I used Naturals Ivory for a vintage look. 2) Heat emboss with White Stampin’ Emboss Powder. 3) Ink a Stampin’ Sponge with Crumb Cake ink and swirl over the surface of the image using a circular motion. How easy is this! I know that I have included this Video Tutorial from my archives in several posts. But just in case you need to revisit it, just click HERE.
- Just right for a snowball fight! Add a touch of whimsy with a Basic Pearl snowball and Basic Pearl buttons.
- A touch of vintage country charm! Cross-stitching is so easy with the Dotted Scalloped Ribbon Border Punch and Linen Thread. Add a Cherry Cobbler Designer Button and a snippet of Victoria Crochet Trim, and your quick and easy vintage country card is complete!

I love this!!! Your stitching with the twine in the image is awesome. Gorgeous card!!! Hugs,
Fsbulous card and technique Ann. That image is so cute! Love the rustic feel to the card.
I love the country charm of this card. The technique focuses all attention and that cute snowman. The pearl for the snowball is my favorite, only you would think if that, Ann, and make it look JUST RIGHT!
So stinkin’ cute, Ann! I love the way your mind works….a pearl snowball. How perfect!
I absolutely love this card! This is such a great set! I am totally going to case this one (winning the sample would really make my day 🙂
That’s the best-dressed snowman I’ve ever seen!! Thanks, Ann!
Oh I would love to win your beautiful card. Love the little snowman & his pearl snowball. I love the emboss resist technique and the cards you have created with this techinque. Thanks for sharing.
I love this card – how cool. Thanks for sharing the technique.
How cute!!! I love the snowball.. It just wouldn’t be an Ann card with out the pearl… Love the vintage feel of this card.

Very Shabby Chic and the “pearl” snowball adds a bit of bling. Love it!
Well done my friend. Love this technique, must remember to use it more often. Love this new set too.
Snow Much Fun – indeed! Of course everyone loves the pearl for the snowball and the buttons! Are the teeniest pearls too big for his mouth – you could color them black. I assume it is a snowman anyway. I would love the little bird on the other snowman’s nose for this roly poly guy! The coloring is just perfect for this card. Of course the cross stitching and the little snippet of lace is the perfect touch. I have a friend who would love this card or as close to it as I could come. Thanks for the inspiration Ann and now I know I want this set for sure! Thanks for such a “cool” card – very welcome on a hot sultry day!

I love your snowman. Your technique is excellent. Thank you for sharing.
He is ADORABLE!!! I love that set and can’t wait to get it now. I’ve noticed you have stiched your eyelet punch several times. I need to try that too.
Ann, this set is in my list for closer to Christmas. I love that you used pearls for the buttons nad the snowball! The stitching is a fabulous tactile addition.
hugs

Absolutely adorable!! I love the pearl accents! The colors work great together.
Thanks for posting a “cool” card. With triple digit temps. here, it is helping to cool me off.
Your little emboss resist snowman really makes my heart sing. Today is my first day of retirement after 31+ years at our local PD. I can’t wait to get my stamping stuff organized and am giddy at the thought of actually getting Christmas cards completed and sent in time this year! I will definitely use the easy and beautiful emboss resist technique for many of them!
You put Hallmark to shame Ann. Your cards are so professional. Your detail always amazes me!
Lovely little snow man! I too love to emboss. Ilove to use all sorts of colors of powder and the embossing folders too. TFS
Oh my stars – I’m squealing over here. This is so cute! He looks like a roasted marshmallow snowman. As Miss Daisy would say – I’m more happier that I got this set! We need to work on her grammar. Thanks for blessing my day and inspiring my art. 🙂
woof, woof to Brody that he’s feeling better! :))))
Incredibly adorable, Ann.
Love the resist technique.
Hugs, M
I had a feeling this would be a Winter card by the colors you used. I love the color combination and it is a really cute card!
Love it and sounds like it would be easy to do. thanks for sharing.
Hi Ann,
love your vintage style. What a cute snowman and for all: you have used a pearl instead of the snowball!!!
How clever is that!
Have a nice weekend
hugs and smiles Conny

Cute country card! Thanks for re-visiting this resist technique. It’s one I use infrequently, but should use more often!
Love the snowman, Ann! Your technique clearly makes him a stunning focal point of the card. All the little extras – stitching, spritzing, pearls, button and ribbon – definitely make this card a clearly outstanding!
Awesome card Ann! I had a feeling it was a Christmas card, but I didn’t think it would be a snowman! Love it.
Cute card and I love the pearly snowball accent! Cute and Clever!
This little dude really makes me feel cool, Ann! Love the cross stitching, too!
Your emboss resist cards are the best! Pearls for the buttons and a snowball–pure Ann genius!

This has such a neat country vibe, Ann. And I LOVE that you added a snowball pearl!

This is such a greattechnique! And I laughed when I saw the pearl snowball – love it!
