Snowflake Frame and Winter Westie Christmas Card

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

I hope that you had a good weekend. On Saturday we went shopping, wearing our masks of course. I needed to stock up on a few bits and pieces. It was very strange to be shopping again. We met friends for a picnic on Sunday which was nice. This week we are going to try and meet up with my husband's brothers and wives. The eldest brother made it back from Spain two weeks ago but he has to be in quarantine for 14 days. 

I spotted some dies that I liked in the latest Festive release from Creative Expressions. I decided to treat myself. 

I bought the Snowflake Adjustable Frame die set. I love the effect it gives. I layered the frame over some dark blue card. 

In the centre of the frame you get a nice square for an image. This is the little doggy family I made withe the Fred She Said pre-coloured Winter Westie images. They are available HERE.

Here you can see the detail of the frame. You get three sizes and this means you can make rectangles as well as squares. 

Well this is another card for my Christmas card stash. I need to do a bit of sorting out with my cards.

Festive Trio - Card, Tag and Gift Bag all matching

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How has your week been., Mine has mostly been filled with invigilating. I did manage a room of children with three different papers and two different end times all by myself. I have one more session this week and some more next week. The weekend will be busy. We will be sorting out things for Christmas and our upcoming holiday. On Sunday we will be visiting both sets of parents.

Here is a trio of matching Christmas items that I made.

I bought the John Next Door Magazine box kit and it came with a lovely Snowflake embossing folder. I used glitter card for one of the mats when you walk past they all catch the light beautifully. 

The sentiment came from the Happy Snowflakes set. 

To make the flowers I used, from the John Next Door Christmas dies,  the Poinsettia die and the Swirl Poinsettia die. I created the leaves with the Poinsettia die. 

I did actually make the bag first the design was in the magazine and it fits a small bottle of liqueur and some sweets. I made the tag to match. This little set will be going to one of my lovely friends that I used to work with. 

I would like to enter the following challenges:
