Today the Divas are showcasing a mini set called Santa's Helper, plus some dies that coordinate with previously released sets. Snowflake Tidings Die Set (which I've used on today's card) coordinates with the snowflakes in Glad Tidings, one of my all-time favorite holiday sets. Frosty Snowflakes Die Set coordinates with the snowflakes in Frosty Flakes and Christmas in the Air. And last but not least, a die I've received the most requests for, the Lovely Marquee Die coordinates with the frame in Love Story.
My card today uses Glad Tidings, Love Story, the Snowflake Tidings Die Set and the Lovely Marquee Die. I embossed the medium and small snowflakes from Glad Tidings in white onto Sage Shadow, then cut with the Snowflake Tidings Dies. I loved the way Amy used the Lovely Marquee Die as a border on her card yesterday, so I decided to take her idea and run with it. I embossed the frame from Love Story in white on Early Espresso, then cut with the Lovely Marquee Die and trimmed in half to tuck under each side of my panel. I used the snowflake stamps as a background on most of the panels, then added a sentiment flag with Peaceful Wishes embossed on it and tied some rusty jingle bells on with linen thread.
The layout for this card is Jackie's Viva la Verve! sketch for this week. Play along with all of our November sketches for a chance to win a $100 gift certificate to Verve! Now that's something worth stamping about! (grin}
