I created lots of cards on our crafting cruise, but other than that, last week was spent playing catch up with my business (customers and team), so I didn’t get to stamp or create any cards. Over the weekend I looked at the Stampin’ UP! supplies I had not used yet, and this fun Filled with Cheer stamp set was calling to me because I wanted to color with my Stampin’ Blends alcohol markers!
Did you notice…. the melting snowman is NOT a part of this card? I’ll just be honest with you… I don’t like the melting snowman. He feels sad to me… .so… I replaced that part of the image with the presents from the other stamp image in the Filled with Cheer set!
As you can see above.. I simply did not ink the part of the stamp with the snowman, and instead, I colored and fussy cut extra gifts to use on this card to fill the wagon.
I cut a slit at the top of the wagon and slipped these pieces in to fill it up with lots of cheer!
After coloring the wagon with my Stampin’ Blends markers, I wanted to add some shadow lines to create depth, but needed a straight edge. If you’ve watched some of my Stampin’ Blends Video Tutorials, you’ve seen me use a drafting triangle for this.
Below: my 2nd card with this set. I added a die cut handle from the Filled with Fun bundle. If you also want to die cut this wagon, you can use the die in that bundle. I just stamped it directly onto a deckled rectangle die cut piece and colored it.
About this Two Tone cardstock:

Beautiful! The colors are perfect together and the way you
“hid” the snowman was a great idea. Thanks for the tip with the paper and snowflake embossing folder!
I love these festive cards. I’m with you on the melting snowman! It makes me sad to look at him.
Very clever way to change the look.
Good evening Patty,
I love your cards .. Great tip on the snowman …
Really cute card, Patty! Good tips on cutting the top of the wagon to slip in the gifts. I also liked your tip on how to use markers/blends with a drafting triangle or a ruler to color a straight line. Good tips!! Thanks for sharing & welcome back home!
