Hello Blogger Friends! Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit with the Charmed Life Blog for Day 8 of my Christmas cards for 2025.
I have been busy finishing up Christmas tasks. I was making candy and baking for the last 2 days. Tomorrow, I have to wrap presents and make a grocery run for my Christmas dinner meal. I also have to get some minor house cleaning done in the next 2 days. But I will have my hubby to help with that.
Then tomorrow night we have our Christmas service at church. We have done a Christmas Eve Eve service for lots of years. This way we get to spend Christmas Eve & Day with family.
Now onto my card for today. This one I created using the colors from the Splitcoaststampers color challenge #1083. We were to use balmy blue, cherry cobbler and black for our color trio. Optional was an anything goes.

For my card I used the snowman die from the Taylored Expressions Advent Calendar. Taylor showed a card sample on her YouTube live last Friday with this die, and I loved it, so I used it as my inspiration with a few changes to make it my own.
I cut the snowman in white glitter paper. Her nose is my optional item. I used pumpkin pie. After all what snowman doesn't have a carrot for a nose? For the lips I used white paper and colored with the light cherry cobbler Stampin' Up Blend. The arms are pecan pie -another allowed neutral.
The background designer paper is from the Stampin' Up "You're a Peach" collection. I thought it looked like snow. My trees are also cut from designer paper - it's the "Festive Farmhouse" collection. They are mossy meadow (a neutral).
I had a die in my collection that had this little songbook and it is just the right size for the snowman to hold. Cut the snow banks in white glitter paper.
Finished off my card by stamping my sentiment and adding a couple of musical notes. Well, that's it for me for this post. So, until next time.....God bless.
