Twinkle

Hello crafters!  I started today's card by cutting the Snowflake Background out of blue card and white card.  I covered a piece of Cobalt blue card with a self adhesive sticky sheet.  Using the  snowflakes from the white die cut, I nipped them away and arranged them around the outside edge of the card on the sticky sheet.  I used Canadian Blue Polished Silk Glitter on the remaining adhesive areas.  Next I made a multi-layered white frame using the Round Corner Squares.  Next I cut a smaller piece of white card as a backing and used the blue die cut and coated the die cut with spray glue then dusted it with the same blue glitter.  I added a white backing to it then attached the frame over it.  I seated the frame in the centre of the card.  I cut a wide strip of vellum and cut the Twinkle sentiment out of blue card.  I added it to the shadow backing piece in white and glued the sentiment to the vellum strip and attached it across the frame.  I added one small white snowflake as an accent.  the card was completed with white and blue mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 8 1/4"  x  8 1/4"  in size.  

The list of die winners for the recent blog launch was posted yesterday afternoon, so don't forget to scroll down to the post below this one to see if your name is on the list.  We still have several unclaimed dies!  All for now, Sue x

Firstly many congratulations to our Christmas die winners, so heartwarming to see lots of familiar names that we've come to recognise and smile at over the past 10yrs or so enjoy your gift.

I'm sorry to say this is a little to busy for me Sue, although looking again at the background it says Christmas jumper, and now I've had a second look , it may stand a chance of growing on me, I'll pop back later when my brain has woken up more.
Love to all, keep well and happy xxx

Morning Sue, I do enjoy some paper piecing so this card is definitely one which I will attempt. I love the contrast between your borders and the inside of the frame. Colour's lovely too.

Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, I bought this die when it was released and have made loads of cards with it ready for posting, it is a super die. Love the sample you have made, I was thinking this could be for a Chelsea Football Supporters Christmas card it has all the right colours. I made one with red card at the back and added sticky sheet behind and glitter, it looks stunning.

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