Die Cuttin' Divas Snowflake Challenge

It's been pretty cold around my neck of the woods, but very little precipitation.

Although it is kind of nice that we are not having to shovel snow, we really need the snowpack to keep our reservoirs  full.

And, on a side note, my daughter has a Husky who would love to go frolicking in the snow :)

This week  our challenge over at Die Cuttin' Divas is about snow.

The challenge is "Snowflakes".

.

For my card I used a cut file from Silhouette Design Store which you can purchase here.

I sized the 3 snowflakes and then cut them out of white, silver and blue glitter paper.

I used a snowflake embossing folder to continue the theme.

For just a bit more sparkle I added a few rhinestones.

Supplies used: card stock - white, glitter paper in blue, silver and white;  Silhouette cut file, stamp from Recollections, snowflake embossing folder, Martha Stewart border punch, rhinestones.

Now pop on over to Die Cuttin' Divas and see all the fabulous inspiration the rest of the design team has come up with.

Hope to see you playing along with us!!!!

Die Cuttin' Divas Blue and Silver Challenge

When I saw this challenge theme, the first thought that came into my head was the song "Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer".  You know the part in the song that goes:

Now the goose is on the table
And the pudding made of fig
And the blue and silver candles
That would just have matched the hair in Grandma's wig.

Don't know why that thought came, I guess it's just to close to Christmas getting over, LOL.




Anyway, it's time for a new challenge over at Die Cuttin' Divas

This week our challenge is to use blue and silver.

.

For my card I used three files from Silhouette Studio. A snowflake, a christmas tree and the "Joy" sentiment.

I also used a snowflake stamp from a set by Simon Says Stamp, which I heat embossed with silver embossing powder.

I cut the snowflake and "Joy" out of silver glitter paper.

I embossed the Christmas tree die cut to add a little dimension.

Supplies used: Card stock - white, blue, silver glitter; Silhouette Studio cut files; cute snowflakes stamp set by Simon Says Stamp; silver embossing powder; Versamark by Tsukineko; embossing folder from James set by Cuttlebug; twine - American Crafts; rhinestone - Kaiser Craft; Pop Dots.

Now pop on over to Die Cuttin' Divas and see all the fabulous inspiration the rest of the design team has come up with.

Hope to see you playing along with us!!!!
