Another Christmas Design using Snippets

Hi My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How is your week going? It is half term round here so everything is a bit busier than usual. But is does mean that I can meet up with some of my working friends. Today I am off for another craft session with my lovely friend and one of our friends that works will be  joining us. We are going to be making flowers. Tomorrow my husband and I are meeting friends in town of a meal and then we are all going to visit the Festival of Light in Southampton. We also have a trip to London to plan with them.

I have been making Christmas cards again. This year I kept back a couple of handmade cards that I liked for inspiration. This is another one of the designs I wanted to have a go at.


The background is made from Snippets of patterned paper cut with the Stitched flags dies from Creative Expressions. There is a layer of inked patterned paper underneath the design., 


This is the Noel word die from Lil' Inker Designs, I was so lucky that I won this in the Christmas competition at Pixie's Snippets Playground. 


Because of the antlers on the Noel die I decided to add a Stag cut from a small piece of Kraft card he was inked with Distress ink. He comes from the Winter Wonderland Collection from Sizzix. I am so glad I bought that die set last year. The shop where I bought this die set had another 20% off day recently and I treated myself to another Sizzix die set. I am sure I will be using this soon. 


I am pleased with how this card turned out. I did make two other cards like this at the same time. This is the one I like the most. 

I would like to enter the following challenges:
Challenge 346 at Pixie's Snippets Playground
The February Challenge at Craftyhazelnut's Patterned Paper Challenge
Challenge 425 at Craftyhazelnut's Christmas Challenge

Enjoy the rest of the week. 

Happy Crafting

Hugs Jackie
