A very warm welcome to my teeny, tiny part of the huge world of blogging. This is where I share my passion for making hand made greeting cards. So - why "Always with a Heart"? Well this is for two reasons. Firstly, it is because every card I produce carries a heart on it somewhere. This can be big and bold or small and almost hidden - the fun sometimes is just trying to find it! Secondly it is because I put my heart into everything I produce. I hope that any visitors enjoy seeing what I post. If you drop by then please leave me a comment so that I know you called. It would be nice to know that you have found my heart in what I do.

NUMBER 25

Hi Everyone

I hope you have had a lovely Sunday.

I have been chipping away at wedding stationery samples for prospective new "happy couples" today and once finished I turned my hand to this week's Christmas make using a beautiful die I was very fortunate to win from Pixie's Snippets Playground .. .. .. and my fingers have been itching to play with it since it fell through my letterbox.

This evening I had chance to free the die from it's package and I used it to make this little card.  Not a teeny tiny one but not much bigger .. .. this measures 8.5 x 12cm.




This used:

Die:  My Favorite Things "MFT-1429" Christmas Tree Window
Backing papers :  From my Christmas paper snippet box
Sentiment:  Computer generated
Sequins
Acetate
Dimension Tape

I am taking my creation over to Pixie's Snippets Playground Challenge to share what I have done with my wonderful prize.  Thank you so much Di.  I am going to enjoy using this die very very much.

So that is Christmas card number 25 into the box.  Woo hoo!

It's a beautiful card Jules, I love shaker cards and this one with the tree die is fab, lovely sequins too, Kate x

Kathleen said...

Another brilliant way to use this fabulous die, love your design and the the lovely colours. Isn't in funny that a £4.50 die can do so much and be so versatile when you can pay a heck of a lot more for a die and hardly find a use for it. Well I paid that for it. Love it.
