Hi Everyone
I hope all is good with everyone .. .. .. .. things have been a bit busy here in the House of Hearts .. .. .. Mr Heart's early retirement is definitely making days and weeks fly by even faster than they did before! Even if we are keeping ourselves in lock-down for the majority of our time.
Today I decided to raid my scrapling card box, which is where I put all the offcuts from the card bases I make. I usually use these cards in portrait style .. .. but today have gone for landscape.
A little bit of playtime this evening created my second Christmas card for August .. .. using one of my favourite techniques (one of probably 50 LOL!!) the "inlaid die-cut" technique. I call it a jig-saw puzzle for crafters.
This used:
Apple Blossom Die: Large Snowflake (another very old die)
Sentiment: Pink Petticoat
Very fine Silver Glitter Card
Nail Heads
Metallic Cord
This was made for taking over to the Christmas Kickstart Challenge where the theme this fortnight is "Snow is Falling".
Hopefully catch you again soon.

Beautiful card Jules.
Love the contrast between the snowflakes and background, the glitter cardstock is beautiful,what patience you have to inlay all the tiny pieces,a beautifully designed card
Oooh how lovely....I'm not too familiar with this technique, but it looks fabulous....love the pop of colour with the red too
A fabulous card Jules. Inlaid die cutting is one of my favourite techniques too.

This looks really stunning Jules, a great snowflake die and a great choice with the silver glitter card. I have often used the inlaid die-cut technique but never thought to do it with a snowflake die. Bet it would look really great in a darl navy background too. Instead of nearly always using a 6x6 square card I am trying to start to use other sizes and shape of cards, just for a change butI do have quite a collection of square cards to use up.
