Happy Holly Days

Hello there my crafty friends!  I started today's card by using Beyond Blue Pixie Sparkles all over a piece of white card.  I used the Slimline Stars Background die and cut into it once it was thoroughly dry.  Next I cut the Slimline Stars Rectangle Trio Aperture in white and added mounting foam to the back of it to raise it.  I added it over the Star Background and trimmed away the excess. I added a white backing card with a sticky adhesive sheet added to it, then used Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz on the exposed adhesive of the stars.   I used the Slimline Essential Frames and added a thin frame cut from the Pixie Sparkled card.  Using the Build A Snowman die set,  I cut the signpost and stamped it with Merry Christmas and added gloves and a shovel to the top aperture.  I assembled the snowman with a hat, scarf and buttons and added him to the bottom aperture.  I cut the Happy Holly Days sentiment in black and glued it to the centre aperture.  The card was completed with white and black mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 4 3/4"  x  9 1/4"   in size.  All for now, Sue x

As our Tuesday begins in the UK its closer to the festive season elsewhere in the world so what could be cuter than a snowman digging his way out of a frame. I treated myself to this earlier this year knowing I'd be asked for a lot of children's cards from my regular customer so I wanted to add to their festive fun by building a snowman also using the other cute animals you have provided us with, whether I'll be in the festive mood or not I don't know but at least I have the inspiration and wonderful dies ready should I feel I can concentrate enough to do them justice. Love to you all wherever you are in this big world, stay safe and healthy xxx

Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, oh this is so gorgeous and cute, love the slimline dies and have the whole set now, but I also love these little sets with all the pieces in, especially this snow one, even down to the snow shovel and red gloves, brilliant. I know I have this set too. Now I know what I can do today.

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