Let it Snow..even in Florida

My eight year old grandaughter, Paige loves to do crafts.  Yearly, just before Christmas she comes over to make some personal Christmas creations for the family. This year, she did three different craft projects and helped bake cookies too! Clearly, she enjoyed the crafts the most. All three projects were Pinterest inspired with adaptations made to them. We hope you enjoy them. (Paige is pretty excited to be showcased on the blog and Pinterest too!)
The first project was Hershey Bar Snowmen. These involved punching, stamping, embossing, gluing, and cutting. The hats were cut on my Silhouette. Then, Paige decided that they needed to be embossed and went about embossing the hats and the stripes with the Sizzix Tim Holtz Cuttlebug "Swirls" folder. The scarves were strips cut from a red/white swirled piece of felt which I picked up at Joanne's. Scalloped circles were 2". The stamps used for the faces, snowflakes and text "Let it snow" were from the StampinUp retired "Cold Play" set. She is an excellent rubber stamper and didn't even mess one up! Here is the finished product.
Now for Paige's step by step pictoral guide.
