Layered Snowflake Background

 Hi there my crafty friends!  We are starting out day two with the lovely Layered Snowflake Background die set.  There are two dies in this set, one is the snowflake itself with lovely stitched detail around the edges and the other die is the background which also has beaustil stitched swirly detail to it as well as a small cut out area to show off the snowflake.  It is really easy to make batch cards with a die set like this as it does all the work for you!  If this is one you like the look of, then why not pop a comment on this post so you can be entered into the drawing to win it?  I will be back on the blog at 12 noon today with the second die reveal for the day  All for now, Sue x

  2. Morning on day 2 of the festive season lol. I had to expand the picture of this die as I wasn't sure if I needed a new prescription of reading glasses then I noticed the faint pattern that you mentioned on the 2nd die, it's very unusual but yet again really pretty. You gave us cuties last year and they were beyond adorable so I'm hoping you will give us something to make the children or young at heart smile or chuckle. Looking forward to seeing what you have up you're sleeve at midday until then be happy xxx

    Good Morning Sue and all.
    I love the snowflake on the red background and I can see that it is a card that perhaps could be used for batches.
    Have a good day.

  8. Clever concept I like this in that the swirly background could be used for other occasions with a topper covering the snowflake

  22. It's hard to get excited about winter and snowflakes when it's 100°F (38°C) here, but this is a super neat die set and beautiful card!! Judy in Prosser

  23. Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, gosh I am liking this die set and the sample today. When I first looked at it, I thought I wonder how Sue has done those stitched/pricked swirls all around the background, then of course I scrolled down and saw the picture of the die on the packet and realised it is part of the die set itself, I bet it is not easy to draw that in a design. I also like the way you have cut the middle die up and cut it around and formed part of the frame, looks very effective. Another winner for you Sue.

    Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx

  26. Good Morning Sue. What a way to start our day. A really lovely sample. And Ohhh that background ... the beautiful stitched detail is really pretty ... And again not just for Christmas ... as this can be used along side other centre focal elements we all have in our stash. And I love your snowflake. This would make a card in itself. Thankyou Sue. Someone is going to be very lucky to win this set. Sending hugs 🤗 and best wishes to everyone who needs them today.

    PLEASE KEEP STAYING SAFE 🙏 🙏 🙏.
