This week Ribbon Carousel challenged blog readers to create a craft, inspired by peppermint, that incorporates ribbon or twine, etc. Click HERE to get to the challenge blog post. Here is the first card I designed:

| Finished card size is 5 1/4"x5 1/4" |
I knew I wanted to use this peppermint stripe grosgrain ribbon, but I didn't know exactly what I wanted to do. While I was contemplating design ideas, I was fooling around and started pulling a loose thread. Before I knew it, the end was quite frayed and I immediately thought of a scarf. Snowmen wear scarves, right? Design problem solved. The tricky part was deciding how to attach the scarf. I tried traditional scarf wraps, but they were quite bulky and covered half of the snowman's face. In the end, I tied a simple knot and attached it with Glue Dots.
TIP: The snowman's arms weren't in the right position, so I cut them off and repositioned them. You couldn't even tell, right? :)

I die cut the snowman using my Christmas Cheer Cricut cartridge. I used white glitter paper for the snow and printed glitter paper for the sky. I embellished the snowman with black rhinestones.

Really Cute! I would enjoy getting a card like that! That reminds me . . I better get my cards done!
Adorable!! I have trouble commenting on your blog due to the security word issue. If you'd like more comments, you might consider another way of monitoring your comments.
Adorable card! The ribbon as the scarf is a nice touch. ^.^
Also, Charlene has a good point. I use Blogger and turned off the security for posts less than 21 days old, and haven't had a problem with spam yet.
SO adorable!
The scarf is m favorite part!! :)
All the best,
