Build a Snowman

Hello everyone, it's Wednesday! My son left for school today knowing at noon he'd be half way through this week and on the downslide to christmas vacation! I'm excited too, especially because most of my year end work is complete..and I found a little extra time for crafting.

I realized I was just a few cards short and so I used that as an excuse to break out some new products I bought on sale during the Black Friday events!  I'm entering this card in 3 challenges. The first being the Lawnscaping Challenge #96, (anything goes christmas themed), and the prize is a free Lawn Fawn stamp set of the winners choice! The second challenge is Merry Monday #139, to create a winter themed christmas card.  The third challenge is SimonSaysStamp - Anything Goes for a $50 gift voucher!!!



So..onto the card that I've created!!!  

Products I used:

Background paper is DCWV Winter in the Woods Stack (I love every sheet in this pack and I just might end up hoarding this stuff as I can't find it anymore!)

Dies: Little B Stitched Star dies (this is a new product to me, and I can't say enough about how much I LOVE these Little B dies.  Best to have a magnetic platform for your Big Shot or whatever machine you use, it helps keep the outline and stitching in place, as they happen to be 2 separate dies)

Stamp by Stampendous Build a Snowman (I cut the scarf from a 2nd stamping and layered it on top, love that look!)

Twine by Lawn Fawn - Lawn Trimmings Gold Sparkle Hemp Cord  

And finally those gorgeous little sequins are by Doodlebug, the colors are in the "Swimming Pool" collection.

Thanks for stopping by, I appreciate your comments and please consider joining my blog!  Have a great day!
