My long-time friend Heidi who started this blog with me more than a decade ago surprised me with this beautiful Sizzix die set this past Christmas. It's got so many dies included that it took me a while to figure out how to use them all together. I pulled out snippets of dark brown, light brown, blue, green and kraft and put this card together with a pre-printed Simon Says Stamp sentiment. I added liquid applique for the snow, along with some red Stickles for ornaments on the tree. The little sparkly red star atop the tree was a die-cut negative from a border die done in red glitter paper. I'm not sure I did this die set much justice, but I tried. That's one Christmas card for this year done with many many more to go!
I'm sharing with these challenges:
The January Rudolph Days Challenge - A/G Christmas - must be posted by the end of January
The Christmas Craft Creations January challenge - A/G using snippets
The Double D Challenges - Snow
Ha Ha - don't you just love how that snow covered car was cleaned off? LOL That's creative!
Thanks for stopping by and do have yourself a great rest of the week!

Hi Carol,
Happy Rudolf Days.
This is such a very lovely card and your scene created with those dies is fabulous.
A perfect die to use up some snippets I think.
I am glad I am not the only one who gets fogged over some dies.
