I'm off to visit the Playground again with my current Snippets make and this time it's a Christmas card which as it happens was inspired by a design from Pete Hughes of Sizzix - see Sarn's post HERE. Great minds think alike they say. Mine uses one of his ideas for constructing a reindeer from die cut shapes and I've chosen to just use a head and shoulders view within a die cut circular frame. I started by cutting the pieces and building up the reindeer before deciding just what form the card would take. Having decided on going relatively CAS I cut out two matching frames using a stitched detail die and a smaller plain circle die. These were layered together adding a backing of a blue circle with a pattern of die cut holes to represent falling snow. Once assembled the circle was simply glued to a white square and the sentiment added. I actually remembered to take a photo of the small snippets left over. As usual everything on this card came from my snippets collection apart from the card blank.

Superb festive card Val. Very creative way to use your snippets (thanks for photo).Coincidental that we were both inspired to make cards after watching Pete Hughes!
