Especially to appease Hettie - aka Sam

I did laugh at Sam's comment on the previous 'snowman' card I made for Craftyhazelnuts Christmas Card Challenge over here. This is what Sam said - bad girl:

Lovely card Di but isn't this challenge a little sexist - there are snow women too you know!
Do you know the difference between snowmen and snow women?
Snowballs!
LOL!

Well, honestly - there was fighting talk, and a laugh as well of course.

I hadn't explained that Hazel did say that snow men or women were fine for the challenge so of course, once the gauntlet had been thrown down, I just had to make this cutie in response to Sam's tongue in cheek 'accusation':
I used:

- 4.75" x 4,75" square white card stock

-  Craft Creations 'Snowflakes On Pale Blue' backing paper

- Penny Black Stickeroo, again from the 'Every Christmas' sheet - cut and layered using a Nesties Labels die
- magenta Core'dinations card for the matting and also behind the image

-  white card cut using a Marianne Creatables icicle die (LR0135) and a Marianne Creatables snowflake die (LR0123), both covered in double sided sticky paper stuff,  before being die cut and then dunked in Art of Craft iridescent glitter (I keep a box of these already made to hand)

- sentiment from my goodies - from QVC in a big mixed set of colours, possibly by Kanban

- a cheap Poundland clear gem, coloured to match using a Pro Marker - I did three different shades before I was happy with the match :)

So Sam, hope this one meets with your approval :) And here's another entry Hazel!

    Your card is so adorable!!

    Still, I'm shocked by all the cheeky talk about snowmen's balls. Good thing they don't get hot flashes when they're embarassed like snow women do, they'd melt on the spot!

    Hi Di, I'm back. Thank you for all your sweet comments over the last eternity. :)

    I really love your card, what a sweet image! Love the icicles.

    That Sam is a card isn't she. Oh it feels good to be back.
    Love & Hugs

    Hi Di

    You and Sandra crack me up between you!!

    I thought the difference was what kind of hat they were wearing .. .. oh I am just far to innocent LOL!!!

    Love this card!

    Great image and the icicles look brilliant.

    Hope all is good with you. Busy here but just catching up quickly before I make a start on the day.

    Love Jules xx

    Here . . . Jules . . . I think you're mixing SaRn up with SaM! Not that I mind in the least as I think Sam's great!

    Oh . . . your card Di? It's FANTASTIC. I love these stickeroos and that icicle border is perfect.

    Yeay! You have picked up the gauntlet fair and square! That is better! Equals things up a bit! People in the office are wondering what I am giggling at but hey ho! Such a cute card there Di and love that image. Reminds me of my Mum and Dad for some reason! DO NOT tell them that EVER! I think it is the way they are hugging! My M&D are great huggers, as I am too!
    Brilliant.

    Oh that was a good belly laugh to start the day with! I'm going to have to be more respectful next time I help my friends kids to build a snow person! Lovely card though, NEVER thought about cutting the Stickeroos with a Nestie before, light bulb moment or what! Love that icicle border too, I need to get me one of those dies.

    Hugs

    This is fabulous Di, love the colours and a great image. I love the icicle border, brilliantly glittered. Great card.

    I know what you mean about the flower die cut it was a tad difficult to get it out.
