Christmas Double Days

Hi bloggers!  Two similar sort of cards today, both with snowflake themes.  For the first card, I cut four of the Snowflake Border in coconut white card.  I covered a piece of white card with a sticky adhesive sheet, peeled the backing paper off and laid the borders down across the card.  They slightly overlapped in sections.  I coated the remaining exposed sticky area with Iced Snow for a frosty feel to the background.  I stamped my sentiment with a clear Perfect Medium pad and heat embossed it in silver.  I cut it out with the Pierced Flags die set and backed it with a sky blue mat.  I tied a double bow with the satin edged organza in a matching blue and added a Classic Poinsettia cut out of silver card.  The card was completed with a white pierced mat, a blue mat and another white mat.  The finished dimensions are 6 3/4" x  8 1/4" in size.  Scroll down for card number two.

Card number two also uses the Snowflake border die but in a different way.  I cut four of them in Sky Blue card.  I glued each one to a strip of silver pearl card.  I mitred each of the pieces so that I was able to form a frame with them, using the bottom edge of the die as the frame for my aperture.  I mounted it up on foam for dimension.  In the centre of the aperture, I cut the Snowflake die in white, sky blue and silver pearl card and layered up the pieces and glued it into the opening.  I finished the card with a white pierced mat, a thin silver pearl and a thin sky blue mat and finished with a final white mat.  The finished dimensions are
8 1/4" x  8 1/4" in size.  I hope you liked the blue and silver theme for either of my snowflake cards!  All for now, Sue x
