CAS Christmas July 2026 - Holiday Hugs

Hi everyone!

The theme for this month's CAS Christmas Challenge is "Snowman." ⛄️

With the extreme hot weather we're having here in LA, playing with snowmen is the perfect way to cool off! 😉

Here’s what I created:

To give a little twist to falling snow, I stenciled a background of tiny hearts. For the sentiment, I die-cut it and colored it to match the ink of the hearts. Then, I stamped these cute little snow-boy and girl, heat-embossed them with clear embossing powder, and colored them with Prismacolor pencils. To keep the card CAS, I added a soft, subtle frame impression using a frame die and an embossing pad.

Make sure to pop over to the challenge site to see all the other wonderful snowman cards!

Thanks so much for visiting me today!
