Anyhoo, I bought this one cos I thought it had multiple uses, being able to cut apart the hearts & flourishes. Then when it arrived I thought it looked like Christmas baubles! So I raided my mirri snippits & made these 2.
The cream background is embossed with a Crafters Companion frame embossing folder, then mounted on more mirri & the Merry Christmas is a Cheery Lynn die.
So cos I used snippets I get to visit the Snippets Playground, and as I made 2 of them I can visit Sarn's Rudolph Day Challenge!
Thanks for stopping by

So pretty! I've always wondered about the TL dies and it's nice to hear that they cut well and these are so versatile too. Lovely use of snippets Karen x
ReplyDeleteA really good idea Debs . . . thinking outside the box . . . cool! Your die has made two LOVELY Christmas cards.
ReplyDeleteThanks for playing along.
Hugs, Sarn xxx

Two very nice cards and very subtle too. Jan xx
ReplyDeleteThanks for your lovely comment, Debs - some time ago I saw something someone had done with a stamp with a row of houses and my card was sort of inspired by that - I don't have a vast supply of stamps, mostly sentiments and backgrounds and a few swirls, so I often have to draw my own. I've got the Crafter's Companion envelope board too and have never got to grips with it - this new one is so easy peasy to use and I love the results! I'm looking forward to the next felt class when we are making a landscape - got to get some wool sorted out before Wednesday. The last 3 days I've been exhausted and having to rest a lot which is a humungous bore when there's so much I want to do!!

ReplyDeleteThey do look like baubles. Like them in the gold . I have heard that these dies are a dream to cut out with. Hugs Mrs A.
