I'm finding joy in digging through my stash and using older stamp sets that have been neglected for so long! This is a Sweet 'n Sassy stamp set I've had for eons and just felt it was time to use it again. I had a couple strips of water colored paper I'd made a while ago with my H2O's so I cut them into fishtail banners and embossed them with a CB swiss dots ef. I found the narrow strip of an embossed panel in my snippets box and decided to use that too. I colored the snowman's scarf with a Copic marker that was a close match to the color on the strips, then heat-embossed a silver star in the sky. I stamped the sentiment from the set and die-cut it with a stitched square and called this one done.
I'll enter this into these challenges:
The September Rudolph Days Challenge - Christmas creations
the Peace on Earth Christmas Challenge #24 - Christmas creations
use any embossing folder with an option of "Leaves"
Thanks for stopping by and have yourself a grand day today!

Wow Carol, you always amaze me with your simple but very effective designs!!! You are a brilliant crafter for sure!! LOVE, love, love this card!!! Amazing colours and a so clever use of your embossed scraps to create a very sweet and cheerful design and a perfect match with the snowman!!! The snowman looks so cute and the beautiful silver star on the top is the perfect addition, as it seems that the snowman looks at it!!!!
Another gold star for you!! :)
So sorry I forgot that you and Butch shared the Birthday time!!! Happy, happy, happy Birthday also to you, dear friend!
I didn't know about both your 1st cousins too! Such fun randomness!! :) I think you could have one heck of a party anyway, even if you are not the same age ;)
Hope you and Butch have enjoyed your special day!
Biggest hugs and wishes for lovely and joyful days ahead!

Your smiling snowman is so cute!! I love him looking up at the star and your pieces of color really pop out over the white! Pretty design!
This is adorable and I like the nontraditional colors!
A fantastic card Carol, I love how the snowman is gazing up at the star. Thank you for joining in the fun at Rudolph Days this month.
