Stick Snowman Ornament and Card

This is the fourth of my cards with ornaments.  This one features a removable snowman ornament made from a jumbo craft stick.

I sewed a small, strong magnet onto the back of the snowman’s scarf and placed another one  behind the greeting panel so the ornament can easily be removed or placed back on the card.

I debated between using regular craft/popsicle sticks or these jumbo craft sticks.  I really liked the curvy shape of the jumbo sticks, but they are much longer than the craft sticks.  Because I went with the jumbo ones, my card needed to be much longer than most cards.  I remembered a video Gina K had done showing a card that fit into a regular business envelope and realized that size would be perfect!  My finished card measures 3.75 inches x 9.25 inches.  Unfortunately, with the ornament attached, the card is too bulky to mail as a regular letter/card so it will need to be sent from the post office as a package.

For my ornament, I used:

• Wavy Jumbo Craft Sticks
• white paint
• Darice Knit Hat w/Scarf or HERE (with free shipping if order over $50)
• google eyes
• Recollections Button brads
• Sizzix/Tim Holtz Bigz “Assembly Snowman” die (#658770) for carrot nose
• scrap of card stock for carrot
• We R Memory Keepers Crop-A-Dile to punch holes for the button brads

For my card, I used:

• Gina K Designs “Deck the Halls” stamp set
• Stampin’ Up Classic Label Punch
• Recollections Snow embossing powder
• Versamark ink
• Recollections heavy weight white card stock
• Gina K Christmas Pine card stock
• Recollections City Sidewalks Christmas paper pack (discontinued?)
• Recollections Holiday Basics Christmas paper pack (discontinued?)
• 2 magnets
