I made my snippets card for today in double quick time - about 15 minutes or so- allowing a sheet of designer paper to do most of the work:
I used:
- 5" x 5" square white card blank, side opening
- two sheets of designer paper from the 'A Winter Story' pack made by Stamps by Me
- the reverse of one sheet is the same green as the patterned paper - perfect!
- trimmed the plain green paper down to 4.75" square and the patterned paper down to 4.5" square and glued them to the card front
- then used a die from the little Sizzix 'Winter Wishes' set to die cut the word 'Joy' from a teeny snippet of Tonic mirror card in 'Inca Gold'. I won this lovely little set of dies over at Christmas Kickstart a while ago and absolutely love the delicate Joy sentiment - many thanks again Jo! It's extra special as it 's designed to leave imprints of tiny studs on the letters
- glued the sentiment onto the card front, at a jaunty angle for a change. Finished!
No photo of the gold snippet - I disposed of it before engaging brain! The image colours are muted but in reality they're a bit brighter than the camera shows, needless to say.

Dudley Pupdate: it's been a pretty uneventful week for Dudley. The most exciting things were the car rides when Len took me to the dentist - and surprisingly, Dudley was the quietest he's ever been - usually it's a full-on yodel but this was more like doggie gentle singing! We've popped one of his doggie beds in our bedroom for him, but he only uses it now and then. Much more fun to cuddle up between us on the bed - preferably sideways if he can get away with it!
Sarn has opened up Challenge #521 in the Snippets Playground HERE.

ReplyDeleteThis is a very pretty paper Di and perfectly finished with the gold die cut 'Joy' and the reverse of it makes a great matted layer. I hope your trip to the dentist was not too painful. x
