It’s Sunday, and time to play with The Paper Players! This week I had the honor of selecting the challenge for you. I decided on a “Clean and Simple: One-Layer” theme. To say the least, this forced me outside of my comfort zone. However, I had so much fun playing with my new Snow Day set and a retro color combination, that I soon forgot that I am a “multiple layers, load on the pearls” kind of girl. I hope you enjoy it.
The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips: Retro Snow Man
This finished card measures 4-1/4″ wide by 5-1/2″ long.
- Calypso Coral! Want a warm, retro color for a the adorable “Warm Wishes” sentiment from Snow Day? Calypso Coral will have you dancing the limbo! Well, make that a jig, since I would strongly recommend the use of the Stamp-a-ma-jig to place the nose, scarf, hat and heart, which were also inked in Calypso Coral.
- Pool Party! Looking for a cool yule choice for a snazzy snow dude? Pool Party fills the bill!
- Smoky Slate! Need a neutral to round out this retro duo? Smoky Slate is first rate!
This card is so simple to make, providing you have a Stamp-a-ma-jig. The result is quick and cute. What do you think? Won’t you let me know in your comment today? Your comments are so important to me. And as always, if you ever have any questions about the cards I create or the techniques I use, I am only an email away! Until next time…
Stamp Set: Snow Day; Inks: Calypso Coral, Pool Party, Smoky Slate; Card Stock: Whisper White; Tools: Stamp-a-ma-jig; Glitz and Glam: Basic Pearls
I love the color of this snowman and it looks like he’s dancing or at least swaying to some Christmas music! What fun!
Very cute, Ann! Love the fab color combo and the stamp-a-ma-jig precision. I just got this stamp set and can’t wait to ink it up. 🙂
Super cute snowman Ann. Love the retro colors. Thanks so much for your welcome back comment. It was so nice to see you. Hope “the kids” are doing well as well as you and your family. Hugs, Curt

Super happy card, Ann. I think one layer cards are the hardest to make, so I’m very impressed! Love the color combo, too.
Love, love, love these colors and the adorable snowman. Clean and Sweet (CAS!)
Ann I never would have guessed this was your card (except for the pearl accent on your snowfaakes), ha ha! I’m not a clean and simple kind of girl either but your card is really cute.
