Aaaah, the irony of being an Aussie at Christmas!
It may be high Summer, but we’re still inundated with winter wonderland Christmas carols and decorations everywhere we look.
That’s OK with me, because I like snowflakes and snowmen. Since it never snows in my town, they’re kind of like unicorns to me.
Back in 2019, there was a light dusting of snow further up the mountains where my parents live—just enough for my daughter and I to build real snowman.
It was awesome!

He’s wearing my dad’s old fishing hat instead of a beanie, but apart from that, he’s just like the artwork, right?

Luckily, you don’t need actual snow to make this snowman card. All you need is a sponge and acrylic paint. It can be sweltering hot outside, no problem (or snowing, if you’re lucky enough to live in an actual Winter Wonderland).
This is a stamping project, so it would be easy to batch process cards for all your friends and family.
What a cool holiday greeting card!
Grab a kitchen sponge, and we’ll get started.
How to make a Sponge Art Snowman Card
You will need
- Kitchen Sponge
- Cardstock in a couple of shades of blue
- Acrylic paint
- A fine paintbrush or posca pens for details
- Q-tips/cotton buds
- Scissors
- The snowman circle template, type your email in the form below for your copy
How to
Print the snowman template out. Cut the shapes out and trace them onto sponge.

Cut into circular sponge stamps and keep a small piece of the offcut.
Fold your cardstock in half to make a card.
Use your sponge offcut to stamp a snowy ground across the bottom of your card.

Use the sponge circles to print a 3-tiered snowman.


Wait for the paint to dry before adding snowman details. Paint (or use posca pens to draw) a hat, carrot nose, eyes, mouth, scarf, buttons, and stick arms.


Use a Q-tip to dot snow all around.

All done!

So simple and cute!

Happy holiday season to all our readers!
