In
an effort to make a dent in my Christmas card list I am making a concerted
effort to use images that I have had coloured in for a while and need to get
cracking as I haven’t made anywhere near as many as I need to.
This
little snowman is a digi by Ellephantastic and I have to admit it has been
coloured in since early this year when I had all these great plans about making
my chrissie cards all through the year……. I used one of my new Nestabilities
dies from the NEC last week but slightly misjudged how big the image was so
it’s been trimmed a bit too close for my liking L
I
used a base card from a Craftwork Cards goodie bag with the snowflake paper
from the pack. I also used my new Martha Stewart trellis punch on a scrap of
iridescent card. I finished off with some peel off stickers for the sentiment.
This card is a right mix of old and new, peel offs are years old, digi is about
10 months old and then the rest of it is all brand spanking new.
Materials
Used in this card are as follows:-
Card
Size – 4” Square
Image – Sketchy Snowman by Ellephantastic
Paper – Craftwork
Cards
Embellishments – Peel
off stickers
Tools –
Nestabilities die, Martha Stewart Punch, Promarkers
Techniques
– Die cutting & punching

This is adorable, love the snowman, so cute and sweet xxx
Great fun Christmas card. Thanks for joining us at the Cuttlebug Spot this week.
Mandy this is adorable! I love the color. I have the same problem with my digital images and my Nestabilities.LOL Sometimes I get the image too big for a card when I am not thinking. Which happens more than I would like to admit. LOL
Love your card!
What a wonderful card, love the stitching along top and bottom as well as overall design! Good Luck in the TSB monthly contest.
Hugs,
