So I was in a Christmas mood this weekend! And this snowman was just calling my name. I had just purchased some pieces of felt and wanted to see what I could do with them. The snowflakes you see were made by running a small piece of the white felt through the Cuttlebug using the Snowflakes #2 die. Then I added a little glue and glitter to complete them. Here’s a closer look (click to make it larger):

I used the tag from a Basic Grey Blitzen paper collection (from last year), so all I had to do is attach it to the front of a card.

I added glitter all around the scalloped edge and cut a small piece of brown felt to tie through the hole in the top of the tag. You have to tie it carefully though, because the felt tears very easily.

I stamped a second snowman and colored in the hat, broom, buttons and the bow on the broom. These were then cut out and attached to the snowman image, offsetting them just a little to add an extra bit of dimension.

JACKSONBELLE EMBELLISHMENTS – JBE027

~~~

This week the Jacksonbelle Embellishments design team is CASEing one of our own members – Kisa!! Kisa is so much fun and creates the most darling cards! So this was a pleasure! Here’s a link to Kisa’s card that I decided to CASE. She used such beautiful shades of blue and brown, but I decided to change the brown to a red for this birthday card for my Mom.

And of course it wouldn’t be a “Kisa” card without a Prima and some Shimmerz!!! So I took a cue from her and painted my white Prima with Angel Wings Shimmerz.

Please visit the other design team members blogs to check out what they’ve created this week:
