Time to dash across to the Snippets Playground with my card for the latest challenge which is one of two December ones with extra prizes to be won. I'm taking another of my scenic Christmas cards which has used quite a lot of snippets. I even made the card blank which, although it involved a whole sheet of white card, I do get a very handy 'snippet' strip left over each time. The white and green squares were trimmed from a couple of my larger snippets and then a slatted circle was die cut into the white layer. Trees were cut from dark green snippets, fence panels from some kraft snippets and then white snippets were used for the snow people and details, coloured as necessary. The sentiment was stamped, then die cut, finally adding a tiny sprig of holly for extra interest. The snow people set is a new one this year - just couldn't resist when I spotted it - the other items I've had for longer.
Slatted Circle - die from Craft Addiction UK
Trees - die set by Globeland (Amazon)
Snow People and Fence - die set from Amazon
Torn Edge Square Dies - set from Amazon
Holly Sprig - from a very old magazine gift seasonal set which comes out each year
Sentiment - stamp from Stampin' Up (long retired) Contempo Christmas
Green Square - trimmed from a snippet of printed paper (download from Buddly7 Crafts)
Label - Stitched Rectangles die set also SU (retired)
What a fabulous winter scene in this festive card.

I have been a very poor visitor lately and as you have seen my version, I thought I must come and see yours Val, and it is great. I love the slatted background and trees, and your fence looks great..my set didn't have the fence unfortunately...there do seem to be different versions around. I do love the bit of holly on one of the hats too...a wonderful snippets make. x
ReplyDeleteWell Val, you certainly have a wonderful knack for creating scenes - in the nicest possible way. I've seen the snow folk dies on Amazon recently and they really are so cute!
