Snippets Playground Challenge #495

 Time to visit the Snippets Playground with my card for the first of the two December challenges where there are to be four prizes of bumper mystery parcels for the lucky winners.  Definitely time to rummage through your piles of snippets to see just what you can make with them.

For my card I've used a sentiment  die which I believe was won from Snippets a couple of years back and paired it with a Gnome/Santa die which I've had in my collection for even longer.  The sentiment was layered up on a couple of white squares, one of which has been embossed with a snowfall embossing folder.  I did have to cut into a whole piece of white card and also of the red for the background but of course I have quite large snippets left for future projects.  I also remembered to take a picture of some of the smaller snippets left over from die cutting the squares. sentiment and Santa.

Sentiment - die from Memory Box
Santa/Gnome - die from Simon Says Stamp
Embossing Folder - from Sheena Douglass a while ago, no longer available

Allsorts Challenge #810

 The theme for the current Allsorts Challenge has been chosen by Lynne and is *It's Beginning to Look Like Christmas* or of course there is the usual Anything Goes option.  For my card I've used dies from a set of four characters which come with a choice of headgear and specs which are mostly interchangeable for some fun results.  These two were put together and then I decided to pop them onto some torn edge die cuts along with a sentiment..

Santa and Snowman - from Tim Holtz Cool Yule die set
Rectangles - from Sizzix (TH) Stacked Deckle set
Sentiment - from a magazine give-away Christmas stamp set (a few years back)
