Hi bloggers! It seems a strange title for a post in the middle of summer, but if you helps you get a start on your festive cards, then it's worth it! LOL I started with the background and drizzled dries cler glue all over a piece of clear acetate. I used Beyond Blue Pixie Sparkles and mixed it in with the glue, then covered it with scrunched up white tissue paper and set it aside to dry. Once dry, I cut six of the snowflakes from the Layered Snowflake Background in white and glued them all over the acetate. I used the Snow Die /Stamp combo and cut it in black and glued it to the bottom corner f the card. I stamped the rest of the sentiment and cut it out with the tag die from the set and mounted it above. The card was completed with white and black mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7 1/4" x 8 1/4" in size. All for now, Sue x

Hi Sue yep we're not as use to this extreme heat in the UK like other countries that's a cert but we're useless in the snow too, our country stands still, can't cope lol so maybe just cooler would be wonderful for now just like your new snowflake die, it's really pretty and can be snipped for large or small corner use, I love the tiny stitching round the edges, it's so different buy so pretty too. Take care everyone and enjoy whatever you're doing xx
Snow sounds wonderful at the moment. Gorgeous card Sue xx
Lovely card today.

Hi SUE
Loving your card today along with the colours, l like your idea of the acetate and then scrunched up paper. Snow no l don't think so it may be rather 2 warm for me and others but our winters are way 2 long without wanting snow, and 2 be honest with you l haven't stopped making Christmas cards all year.

Morning Sue, the background and snowflakes on this card are fantastic combination. I think some people would have been glad of a few snowflakes during the last couple of weeks of heat. Take care and stay safe everyone. Bx
Hello Sue
I really like the stitched snowflake it is so pretty. We had rain all day in bogna Regis it was a lovely change.Take care everyone x
Good Morning Sue and all
SNOW??? I don't think so. The card is lovely for sure But although I know that snow in it's pristine form is beautiful I will be happy to keep it to the cards. I love the background on this one and the snowflakes show up so well.
Thank you Sue.

Hello Sue, a very pretty Christmas card, love the stitched edge to this snowflake. Like Crewe Trish, we had rain all day just along the coast at Worthing which has cooled us down a bit.

Pretty card I love this technique I bet it really shimmers in real life
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, I am loving this one with the beautiful background you have created, so clever, and then the snowflakes in white and finally the sentiment 'Please let it snow' has got to be the icing on the cake, I love the word please on this one, not seen that before.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Good Morning Sue. Ooooohhhhhhh its been so long. My all time favourite.... Blue and white and lacey This is beautiful be it snowflake or lace doily. I love it. And yes another prompt to start making out Christmas cards ... Although it does seem strange in this heatwave. Thankyou Sue.

You always seem to create the most beautiful backgrounds. Lovely Card. WakeyL
Hi Sue and everyone ohh what a pretty card, I just love Christmas cards. The background looks stunning, I bet its even more beautiful in real life and the new snowflake die is just so pretty. Im hoping to do a couple of birthday cards later today and then I can make a start on Christmas cards.

Hi Sue
It does seem strange to think about snow yet, but it’s a fab card. Great colours and background technique. The snowflakes look great against the blue.
Love Helen xxx
Hi Sue
Love the beyond blue pixie sparkle background with the lovely snowflakes. My order of your new Festive accessories and the mini Merry Christmas arrived this morning so I’m all set to make some slimline Christmas cards
Love and hugs to everyone

I love this technique, very quick easy card to make. Thank you Sue, beautiful....luv Ursula xx
Lovely card - but please don’t (let it snow)!

Hi Sue, I love both the detail in the snowflake from the Layered Snowflake Background and the design of this card. I think it will look better IRL as you would get the sheen from the acetate and sparkle from the pixies, I know photos don't always do justice to your creations.
Frances
hi Sue really like this card, but not sure about the sentiment yet. Will be having a go at the background technique.
Such fresh card! :) Just perfect in these days too hot! Love the snowflakes and the background!
Hi Sue
A wonderful card, fabulous background. I love the snow ❄️ hoping to get to Austria in January next year.

Hello Sue and all

So bleu and beautiful winter card. I love those snowflakes and I'm glad they're just on the card, not outside. Not yet. As beautiful as winter is, I love summer.
Hugs from Toronto to you all.
Stay safe and healthy.

Hi Sue, I love snowflakes for Christmas cards and these are stunning with so much detail. Love the background too, thanks for sharing how you created it.
Lisbeth
What a pretty card! It's a nice reminder that the heat doesn't last forever. I can't wait to try the technique with tissue paper. This die will be on my shopping list. Most of mine are smaller snowflakes.
Love this card Sue, but I refuse to start festive cards just yet!!!!
Hi Sue,
The card is lovely, apart from the snow, I would have to put NOT snow.
Hugs
Rose
A great card but please - no snow or at least snow that doesn’t linger for ages! X
Lovely crisp looking festive card. #ILoveParticraft
