- 5.75" x 5.75" white card blank, side opening
- snippet of deep blue pearlescent card, trimmed to exactly to the same size as the card front then glued in place
- snippet of white iridescent card, die cut using a Creative Expressions 'Snowman Edger' die - which I'd backed with Stick-It adhesive paper
- another snippet of white iridescent card, again backed with Stick-It adhesive paper, then die cut using the Creative Expressions Festive Mini Expressions 'Christmas Wishes' die
- I then added the snowman and the sentiment to the card front, trimming the top and bottom of the die cut snowman level with the card front- really easy when you use scissors and cut from the back using the card edge as a guide
- opened out the card and ran the front panel through the Cuttlebug just to ensure the die cuts adhered properly
- added some white sequins using Glossy Accents (plain glossy white and iridescent white) - finished!
This card has already been posted off but, before I sent it, I luckily spotted the little sliver of waste from the die cut and removed it. Can you spot it? It was dark at the time so no chance to re-do the photo. But anyhow - that's your little 'spot the boo-boo' for today!
I just love both dies I used for this card! The Snowman is a real delight and as ever Viv is my 'enabler' - plus the sentiment I added, using Dudley's pocket money, has so many uses. We have three more of the same sentiment popping up in a future draw this fortnight, wink, wink!
And of course today's prize is:
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 along with details of exactly how to join in - 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 4th January so you do need to have added a snippets make by then to be eligible for the draw.
Just leave a comment on this post if you would like the chance to win today's prize.
I'd also like to add this card into our lovely Maureen's Rudolph Days Challenge - HERE. It's for everyone who didn't miss a challenge throughout 2019. I think you can enter, even if you were lucky enough to already have had a win over there during the year, it's a bit like Green Shield Stamps - a loyalty thing :)
I imagine most folk are going flat out today ready for Christmas, only two more sleeps! My shoulder is coping thank goodness - some things have had to be left for now but all the actual Christmas preparations have been done thank goodness. 'We shall eat like Kings ..... and a little dog will no doubt join in for a few dog-safe nibbles!'.
Love from Parsnip, Dudley and of course me,
This diecut is amazing! Such character! I would love to be included in the draw for this adorable snowman!
ReplyDeleteThank you! Pam
I just LOVE this card, Di! Please include me in the drawing. Have a very Merry Christmas! Warm hugs, Greta
ReplyDeleteI can't see the little blob you say, it's just wonderful with the iridescent white and pearlescent blue and the sequins are a fab touch!! The sentiment is just perfect!
ReplyDeleteDon't count me in the draw, as I have this adorable snowman die. :)
Big hugs! Time to sleep for me
How cute and great in the blue and white Di and with that great die cut sentiment too, and as for the little piece you had left in when you took the photo, I can't pick it at all. I would love to go in the draw for this lovely snowman so a 'yes please' from me. x
ReplyDeleteFabulous card, Di. It took me a while to spot your boo-boo, in fact I was beginning to wonder if you were playing a trick on us and your card was perfect just the way it was!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to win prize B, so please put my name in the draw. xx
Oh my goodness,, that snowman card and die are just adorable, and thank you to Viv for donating it. Yes PLEASE to a chance for this die prize!!! Thanks also to Dudley for donating some of his pocket money towards the sentiment die which rounds off this prize pack just perfectly.
ReplyDeleteI had to peer closely at your card to find the little bit of waste left on the die cut..and would never have noticed it otherwise. My boo boos are usually much more visible and obvious than this one, sad to say.
Love the simplicity of this card. Please include me in the prize draw.
ReplyDeleteNow who's an enabler!!! YES please to be in the draw for this die combo. I have had my eye on this snowman, and a few of the other edger cuts but you card really gives it the wow factor. Glad the shoulder is feeling better. Take care and have a lovely xmas. Hugz
ReplyDeleteI would love to be included for this prize Di - he is so cute!
ReplyDeleteI love this "less is more" card Di.
ReplyDeleteYes Please count me in for the prize : )
This is gorgeous, a definite yes please from me
ReplyDeleteI love this vintage looking snowman die with the birdie perched on the end of his broom. So sweet. Looks fab in pearly blue and white with the sequins. Wonderful design. Took me quite some time to finally find that miniscule extra bit clinging to the diecut. Good for you having sharp eyes to see it. I fear it would have arrived at its destination still attached if it had been my card!!
ReplyDeleteYes, please, to this lovely prize package and thanks to Enabler Viv for sharing this with you! lol... Thank you, Di and Dudley, for your generosity!! So glad to hear that your shoulder is improving! Take care and Merry Christmas!

Oh, my, Di, that card is marvelous! Love the deep blue matched with the white die cut snowman. Using the sequins was such a brilliant idea.
ReplyDeleteOf all the prizes so far, this is the one I love the most and I'm so hoping my name will get drawn for this one! I love snowmen and would use them all year round if I could find a reason for them. :-D
Gosh this is a lovely card. I eyed up that die at my local shop when they had a 25% off everything in the store. Left without it, had coffee and regretted my decision. By the time I went back, they had sold all 3 that they had left!
ReplyDeleteYour card is lovely. The sentiment looks fabulous with this one and the sequins add the finishing touch!
Good luck at the Rudolph Days Extra!
Fantastic card. Love this die.Yes please for the prize.
ReplyDeleteNot sure how I missed this stunning card, Di! Yes please and thank you for all the hard work and kindness that goes into this amazing draw. Hugs, April xx
