Hello Crafty friends,
I have been away from my blog for a while as I have been very busy taking care of my family but last weekend I had some time to make a sweet card using some of Cheery Lynn Designs' snowflake dies. I included these gorgeous (!!!!!) snowflake die cuts on my card so that I would be eligible to participate in the Cheery Lynn Designs weekly challenge: HERE .
The dies I utilized on my card are a couple of the baby snowflakes from the same die shown on my blog in a previous challenge HERE; the snowflake #7 die; the heart to heart doily die; and the "Anastasia" border die. You can find these dies, and a ton of other beautiful dies including some just released on January 15th at the Cheery Lynn Designs website: HERE My personal favorite from their new release is called "Sophia's Heart". Here is a picture from their website:

| If you look at this close up shot of my card you can see that I zig-zag stitched two pieces of card stock together for the background of this card. This is the first time that I have sewed on a card with a machine! I usually hand-stitch any type of sewing on my cards but my husband gave me a sew-mini machine from Janome ($39.99 on sale!) for Christmas and I finally had a chance to try it out! My first attempt was a disaster but the second thing I sewed were these two scrap pieces of card stock left over from other projects made during the Christmas card rush. This was the jump-off point for this card! |
The baby heart die cuts are from a Martha Stewart craft punch and Papertrey Ink. I am not sure who the beautiful sentiment stamp is made by but it is one of my favorites! I think the beautiful snowflake #7 die just makes this card! So pretty!
That is it for me tonight. Just as an aside we have over 6 inches of snow in Seattle which is a very rare thing indeed! My little one and I snuck out the back door the other night and even made some snow angels! What fun! One of winter's gifts to all of us!
Thanks for taking a look at my card! Let me know what you think of it in the comments if you have time! : ) Thanks! And Happy Crafting!
Snowflake Kisses!!!!
Jill
