Winter cards are a breath of fresh, frosty air after the holiday rush, and this Stampin’ Up! Snowman Hugs card delivers warmth and charm for any occasion! Using the same adaptable layout as my Cake Celebrations Card, this design combines simple elements and a versatile greeting that’s perfect for birthdays, thank you notes, thinking of you, or even anniversaries.

Stampin' Up! Snowman Hugs Card by Shelly Godby www.stampingsmiles.com

Sketched Plaid + Snowflakes = Winter Magic

To give this snowman a cozy vibe, I paired:

Sketched Plaid Stamp for the charming plaid strips, adding a rustic winter feel. And tie it into the snowman’s vest.
Nests of Winter 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper for the soft snowflake background that moves seamlessly from Christmas to winter.

These two elements create visual interest while keeping the card clean and balanced.

Colors Beyond Christmas

I intentionally chose a color palette that says winter without screaming Christmas.

Shades of soft teal (Pretty Peacock) and aqua (Pool Party) bring a crisp, wintry vibe.
The pops of white and plaid keep the card cheerful and cozy.

Template Tip: Same Layout, New Look

This layout works beautifully for any card design—whether it’s a sweet snowman like this or a sophisticated cake like the Cake Celebrations Card. Switching out stamps, papers, and colors allows you to create something fresh and unique each time.
