NO! But I have this little snowman looking up and wishing that it was! I've seen a couple of stamper's blogs lately that had been using a stamp made by a company other than Stampin' Up! which had a whole new perspective of a snowman. When I saw it, I immediately thought of Cold Play, SU's build a snowman set!
Our challenge this week was embossing...any kind any way. I love the look of heat embossing and always have. Even back in the day when I would use my toaster and my clothes iron to melt the powder! I now have much better tools! I stamped the hat with Real Red CRAFT ink and sprinkled clear embossing powder and heat to melt and set. Then, I masked the hat and stamped the snowman circles around it and added the face. It needed something more, so I added a carrot nose with Only Orange CRAFT ink and clear embossed that, too. I mounted it on Real Red cardstock and trimmed it with the Perfect Layers tool...the best tool when layering! I embossed the snowflakes on the Soft Sky background and checked it out....it still needed something else. So, I got my hobby blade out and cut a slit along the snowman's neck and added the Soft Sky double stitched ribbon. I adhered the piece to the Soft sky background and I really like it mostly because it's different!
Make sure to check out the other Blogger's Challenge participants...They are just super stampers! Each week, I am humbled!
Have a super Friday!

Lisa, Very clever use of SU's set to create the snowman like you saw from the other company. I also enjoy embossing (isn't it fun to watch the powder melt?). Great colors and I love the scarf. Ida
I love the way you used this set to create a different kind of snowman. The embossed details are the perfect touch.
This is SOOOO cute! I never ever thought of making the snowman "look up"--I will now though! TFS
I saw that "other set" love the SU take on it - very cute!
Great idea! I thought yours was the 'other set' until i looked closer! How cool!
So sweet Lisa. I love the ribbon and the combination of the red and soft sky!
