Pixie's Snippets Playground #342 - Prize M

Phew, we made it! This is the final prize in our Grand Draw for Christmas and New Year 2018.

Without further ado - here's my snippets card:
I used:

- 4.25" x 5.5" white card blank, tent style

- a snippet of LOTV patterned paper from the 'Frosty Christmas' paper pad - I never throw out any leftovers from my little stock of LOTV pads! It was already trimmed to 4" so I just had to trim the short edge down to 5.25" - and of course I kept the bit that was left

- then stamped the owl, sentiment and hearts all in one go onto a snippet of white card using the Misti - and at the same time stamped a second owl. I used Memento 'Tuxedo Black' ink and stamps from the adorable Lawn Fawn 'Winter Owl' set of stamps

- then coloured the image, plus the extra one, using Pro markers - before die cutting the extra owl using a matching 'Winter Owl' die

- die cut the image panel using a very old Spellbinders Nestabilities Oval die and ran a ball ended embossing tool around back of the inner lip whilst it was still in the die to add the extra 'frame' - it's a trick I use loads as I like the extra finish it gives

- glued the paper onto the card front and then glued the oval topper in place

- finally, popped the die cut owl on top of the other one using thin sticky pads - and the card will still go at standard letter rate 

Really, I could have saved myself the trouble of colouring the owl on the main panel as he ended up covered by the die cut one - but it was a chance to check that the 'Cornflower' Pro marker was the best match for the snowflake backing paper ☺

Of course, today's prize is:
A final set of Lawn Fawn Christmas stamps with a matching die and this time it's the turn of 'Winter Owl' - hoot! Plus, once again, there are three of them to be won!

At the end of all of the celebrations I'll do a massive draw session for all the prizes using the one Mr Linky - which is on the main snippets post HERE - so you do need to have entered one snippets make over on that post during this fortnight to be in with a chance :) Maximum of one entry please - to keep things fair for those who may not have time to craft.

Mr Linky closes at 11am on Saturday 5th January (tomorrow!) so you do need to have added a snippets make by then to be eligible for the draw. AND, you won't be able to leave any comments on the prize posts either after 11am - as I explained yesterday.

Just leave a comment on this post if you would like the chance to win one of today's three prizes. You have 35 hours after this post goes live - which should be plenty of time (it worked last year).

And there you have it, a total of 23 prizes to be won (counting the ones where I have three of the same items)!

That's me - I'm done! Ready to lie down in a darkened room for a week now - if only.

Hope you've enjoyed this mammoth draw - I really loved putting it all together for you, even if there were a few times I thought I'd bitten off more than I could chew. When this was planned we didn't have a manic puppy around to be looked after and he's certainly made a huge difference to any thoughts of 'me' time for the moment!

I'm managing to keep up with the 'yes please comments' as I have a system going - but so far am only just over two thirds of the way through all your lovely entries making my own comments and noting down possible 'picks'. I'll get there though - and it's so good to see the thumbnails back in town as well!

Love from Dudley, Parsnip and of course me -

  8. You definitely deserve a nice nap in a quiet room after this mammoth crafting extravaganza, but I have a feeling that Dudley will see that doesn't happen! Thank you so much for the chance to win such wonderful prizes...and yes please to this one. I can't believe that I don't have a single one of the prizes you are offering, even with my large stash. Have a happy 2019, and a healthy one too.

  9. Yes please! Oh my I am going to keep everything crossed for this one, so hope I don't fall over in a heap!
    Your card is adorable, I hope you don't mind if I err borrow your layout? It's a great way of using some of my zillions of papers!
    Love the ball tool framing tip, might have to try that too!
    Thank you so much Di, I have really enjoyed all your hard work. I have been lucky, or should I say rather that I have made the time to follow this, and realized I should practice what I preach sometimes, that is "do more of what makes you happy"!!!
    So you could say your challenge has been life changing!
    Good luck everyone, and hope to see lots more of you in the coming year xxx

  10. You've found another real cutie of a prize and it will just have to be another 'yes please'from me. I've enjoyed seeing the preceding couple of example cards but didn't comment because I decided to pass on those prizes and didn't want to cause any confusion. You deserve a lie down once this grand event is done and dusted - well done and good luck to all who have entered. Hope to be dropping into the playground regularly during the coming year.
