Snowmen

Time once more at the Christmas Card Club

to show the cards we made for

the next theme chosen by Lorraine C.

'Snowmen'.

I had two old used cards in my stash

with snowmen on and as I liked them both

I have made 2 cards.

First up is this one re using an oblong card.

I cut the 2 end snowmen off and then fussy cut them out

and placed in front of the rest of them to make

a square card. To neaten it up I used  a frame

that I had die cut the centre from for

the scarecrow card.

Sentiment made using my Britannia word dies

and glued to the frame using PVA adhesive.

I attached Acetate to the front with brads

and then adhered to a piece of red card

which  I then matted onto a white base card.

I finished off with a bow made from a snippet of twine

I had left over in my stash.

My second card is again using an old oblong one.

This time I cut the Christmas trees off from either end

and used inside the card.

I have made another Gate fold card.

I love making these.



Card bases are made from silver and  navy pearlised card

and layered up alternately.

Sentiment is the negative of a Britannia word die

layered onto navy card .

I found some cute little snowmen embellishments

in my stash by Accessorize

which matched perfectly.
