Hi Playmates
Well, Friday is here again .. .. these weeks are flying by very quickly aren't they.
Popping in today with a Christmas make that uses up a few more of those snippets of paper and card that we all squirrel away - which means I can run over to the Snippets Playground to see what everyone else has been doing with theirs, and also check the rota to see if I am on leaf sweeping duties this weekend!!! I think this year we were hoping to dry them all out and use them for stuffing a huge Guy Fawkes ready for bonfire night.
This used:
Pine Border Outline Die - Memory Box (probably one of my most used Christmas dies)
Sentiment Dies - Julie Hickey - Hazel's Christmas Sentiment Medley #3 Die Set
Circle Die
Corner Rounding Punch
Ribbon
Hot Fix Heart
My Trusty Sewing Machine
These are the snippets I started out with (the silver and green squares were already cut and lounging around in the "good to be used" box. Whenever I cut into a fresh A4, A5 or 12x12 piece of card or design paper I always cut any remainder into the largest squares or rectangles I know I will use and stash them away in this box ready for using another time. It also speeds up a cardmaking session if you have things that are cut and are ready as you start.
Enjoy your weekend when it arrives - and that extra hour if you are going to be putting your clocks back! Always nice to have an extra hour .. .. .. just a shame it means it starts to get dark earlier.
A lovely card Jules and such pretty papers too.

Wow a fabulous layered card, with beautiful papers and gorgeous dies. I can see why the tree die is a favourite, and what a great tip to cut remaining papers. A great snippets card, and I’m happy to bring my broom to sweep up the leaves. I have had plenty of practice, and bags of dry leaves for stuffing the guy 😉 xxx
ReplyDeleteLoads of great snippets used on this lovely card and a handy tip about cutting left over pieces into useful sizes before squirreling them away. Guess the leaves will need lots of drying out if the soggy ones on the roads around here are anything to go by 🙄. Have a great weekend xx.
ReplyDeleteA lovely layout Jules and great use of snippets.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and so precise. a lovely pastel palette too! xx
ReplyDeleteI love the mix of papers and colours. I have this tree die too, it's great for using bits and pieces. Elaine
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card! Those die cuts are so lovely! Always awesome when we can use those bits and pieces.
ReplyDeleteHi Jules,
ReplyDeletefabulous festive Christmas card and perfect snippet usage!!
It amazes me how you always manage to tie your image and backing paper perfectly, whereas I spend an hour deciding what goes with what!!! LOL!!
I love those Julie Hickey dies - swoon! will have to keep my eye out for those ;-)
Yes I am going to be using up my extra hour crafting - hope you manage to as well!
