Sunday Snippets - Merry Christmas Angel

Here's my dinky little Snippets card for today, and it's another sticker card - I made a run of twelve, just the angel images differ:



I used:

- 4" x 4" square white card blank, side opening

- I used the vellum method to apply the Temu angel sticker onto a white background, which I then die cut using the circular 'Merry Christmas' sentiment die - I was only after the central portion of course, then set it aside. This was a great snippets buster!

- die cut the outer sentiment part of the card, using the same die (made by MFT and called 'Merry Christmas Circle Frame') and a very pretty Tonic 'Honey Gold' satin effect mirror card snippet, then set it aside

- next I used more of the 'Honey Gold' card to trim a layer for the 'frame' - measuring 3.75" x 3.75" and glued it to the card front

- another white snippet was used to die cut a stitched edge panel measuring 3.5" x 3.5" ,using a square stitched die by Heffy Doodle

- added the Honey Gold 'Merry Christmas' sentiment circle to the white panel using Bearly Art glue and a disposable fine nib from the pack of 100 spares I bought from Amazon. SO lovely to just dispose of the nib at the end of a card making session

- popped the little angel image into the centre of the sentiment

- finally - glued the image panel onto the 'Honey Gold' layer on the card front

- finished! 

Unlike many crafters on here, I love making a batch of Christmas cards - not always - just when I find a design I'm happy to repeat several times. It's rather like an assembly line - I sometimes wonder if I was actually destined to work on a factory production line instead of the varied IT route my career took me in! 

I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Rudolph Days October Challenge - HERE 

Allsorts Challenge #861 - HERE  -under 'Anything Goes'

Darnell's NBUS Challenge #91 - HERE - the Temu angel stickers are a design I haven't used previously

Remember, I've just kicked off a new challenge over in the Snippets Playground HERE.

Dudley Pupdate: On Tuesday we set off for our flu and Covid booster jabs - with Dudley riding shotgun in the back seat of Len's car of course. It was tipping it down with rain - really wet rain if that makes sense. Len went first whilst I stayed with Dudley and he sang to ma - loudly! Then it was my turn. And the heavens had opened by then - at my speed of walking I was drenched by the time I even reached the pharmacy, thank goodness for a decent waterproof coat. 

Had the jabs, quickest and easiest part of the whole event - then toddled back to the car feeling like a drowned rat. I managed to get partway into the passenger seat - sort of sideways with my legs waving in the air due to said waterproof coat not co-operating - and I was greeted as if I'd returned from a year away at sea - by Dudley who also realised I was at his mercy. 💋💋💋 There I was floundering trying to sit up and Dudley had enough length on his restraint to reach me between the seat backs and therefore give me a thorough kiss and  face, neck and ear wash - whilst my legs waved like a stranded beetle and I squealed, through laughter I admit, 'Gerroff me, you little monkey!!'. What an opportunist he is. 😆  

Love as always, Dudley and yours truly,
