Stitch A Snowflake

 Hi,

I hope you are all well and enjoying the gorgeous summer weather we have been having here in the UK, I must confess a times it's been a little too hot - that is when I hibernate in the house, although when we had 38C heat here in Cornwall, I wasn't even able to make cards, as the ink was taken an age to dry !!. We managed to get away for a Mediterranean cruise, which was very hot, but at least we had air con, which made such a difference.

Today is the start of the wonderful Christmas card Challenge run by the lovely Maureen Rudolph Days Challenge and as time is quickly catching us up, I thought I had better make 2 cards this time, using the same die, which was kindly given to me, as a present.


Snowflake Die : Penny Black - 'Stitch A Snowflake - 51-376'
The Smaller Snowflake : Spellbinders - 'Snowflake Wonder (one of 5 dies)'
Brad in the middle : Dovecraft 
Sentiment : Penny Black - 'Snow Wishes - 51-082'
Papers : Quick Cards, came free with a magazine


Snowflake Die : Penny Black - 'Stitch A Snowflake - 51-376'
The Smaller Snowflake : Spellbinders - 'Snowflake Wonder'
Brad in the middle - I didn't have a gold one, so found a plain one and embossed it, using gold embossing powder.
Paper : First Edition - 'Gilded Winter' - the paper I picked is already embossed with sparkly gold snowflakes
Sentiments : Lili Of The Valley - 'Christmas Tags'
