Christmas Kickstart Challenge #77

 The theme for the current Christmas Kickstart challenge is **Just Elfing Around** and my lovely blogging friend Di (of Snippets Playground fame) is the guest designer this time around.  You can see her gorgeous Elf card HERE where she has used a super die set from Sizzix.  I've chosen a different die set and built up a Santa's Workshop scene using just some of the dies and an embossed snowfall background.  There's also a great Christmas tree in this set but there just wasn't room for it on this card 🙄.  The challenge runs for a month so plenty of time to enter with a chance of maybe winning something in the Random Raffle.  


Background - Snowfall embossing folder Stampin' Up (retired)
Words - die from Britannia which I've had for some years
Elf, Deer, Parcels and Stars - from Sizzix Santa's Workshop die set

Tulips

 Today I have another floral card to share and this time we have tulips.  I must say it took me a while to fathom out just how to assemble the flower heads using the strangely-shaped dies but I got there in the end.  The two larger flower heads consist of three die cuts folded and layered and the smaller one has just two layers.(double sided paper is needed for these due to the folding required.
