Oh, we are so very excited you joined us for our first ever Susan K Weckesser Design Team Blog Hop with Unity Stamp Design Team! I am the last stop, so you should have arrived here from Thienly Azim’s blog. If you did not, make sure you look below to see the line-up and start at the beginning because you do not want to miss out.
If you are not already a follower/subscriber, we would love for you to join our families and follow our blogs as well as stay up-to-date by Liking us on Facebook:
During this 2-day hop, I hope you were inspired and in awe of all the fabulous creations shared by members of these two talented design teams. Both teams shared Simple Christmas Card Ideas using Unity Stamps designed by Susan K Weckesser Inc. It’s not too late for Christmas Cards. According to the US Postal service, if you mail your holiday cards by December 20, they will arrive by December 25th! And, this will give you a chance to also join in the Christmas Love Campaign.
I kept my card above simple as an A2 card with basic layers and a little stamping. I used One of a kind Winter stamp designed by Susan K Weckesser and co-branded with Unity Stamp Co. I loved the sentiment that came with the snowman saying “Let it Snow”, but I expanded on it by writing ‘gumdrops’ using a Faber-Castell PITT Pen. I colored the snowman’s scarf and hat with Copic markers to give a little color and had to blend YR09 with R37 to get a coordinating warm red. I used R39 for some depth.
To dress up my card, I used Viva Décor Glitter pen in holographic to make my ‘gumdrop snow’. It really added some sparkle as you can see in the finished photo above. So, there you go – a simple and easy Christmas card you can make in minutes.
If you want to play with this snowman or any of Susan’s stamps, they are on sale now at Unity Stamp Co for 50% off in celebration of our hop. However, you could also win a great collection.
We are giving away two chances to win an amazing prize package containing a generous variety of Susan K Weckesser stamps co-branded with Unity Stamps.

Thank you, Susan. It is always fun to create with your products and this little snowman has been on my desk quite a bit this last month. 🙂 I had a great time with the hop.
Cheryl, what a bright and cheery card. Inspires me to use different colours on my Chrissie cards. Thanks so much for sharing with us.
Thanks, Gail. As much as I love traditional colors, I do find that I’m drawn to the different colors I see being used too.
Loving the sparkle that you added and the fussy cutting around the snowman too!
Thank you, Miriam. So glad you stopped by.

Thank you, Judy. I’m glad you stopped by today.
What a “sweet” play on the sentiment! I am now humming that children’s tune “if all the raindrops were lollipops and gumdrops”. I really appreciate you explaining how to have that “little extra” without a lot of extra work, Thanks!!
Thank you, Laurie. Now, I’m going to sing that song. LOL. I’m so glad you stopped for a visit.
Love the look of this! That snowman is so cute and I like how you used pop dots to raise it from the page! TFS!
Why thank you, Bente. Helmar Zapdots are wonderful little pop dots. Thanks for stopping by.
Love the card! Who wouldn’t love it to snow gumdrops? 🙂
Thanks JPScraps. Wouldn’t that be fun?
I love how glittery the card is! And how you backed the snowman and sentiment in a different color. Nice!!
Thank you, Angel. When I started putting the card together, I realized I needed to find a way to make them pop off the background. I’m so glad you came to visit me.
would never think gumdrops! so cute and now off to find some gumdrops too.
LOL, Sherry, it was the paper that made me think of gumdrops. 🙂

Thanks so much, Julie. I’m glad you stopped by
Such a cute card!! Now why didn’t I think to mat that snowman! Love it!
Thank you, Rita. That’s funny, because I rarely do fussy cutting if I don’t have to, but I needed to get him to stand out just a bit.
Love how the sentiment, very cute. Feel like eating gumdrops now : )
I know, Samantha. I was disappointed I hadn’t thought this out enough to get some to stage with my card photo. That would have been cute and then I would have had an excuse to eat the ones I took out of the bag! Thanks for visiting.
This is DARLING!!! LOVE the fun sentiment and pretty paper and colors!!!
Thanks so much, Heather.
What a great card. Love the sentiment… can imagine a snowman wanting gumdrops! Very colourful have a great weekend. Cheers, Di
thanks so much, Di. It made me want a gumdrop. 😉

What a beautiful card! I especially love the colours and the glitter!
Thank you, Chelsea. The glitter pen really took it the little extra.
Super cute card! I love how you pimped up the paper to make it look like gumdrops!
LOL. I’ve got to remember that term, Katie. I like that. Pimped up paper. Now I’m going to sing that to the tune of ‘pimped up kicks’ all day. Thank you.
