Hello All!

Well it’s the  first day of August! I can’t believe Christmas in July is over!  I have thoroughly enjoyed the challenge I set myself and I know I will be grateful to have all these cards in November when I will need them!

Anyway, as my Spellbinders Christmas in July package arrived yesterday, I carried on with my Christmas crafting so this is my Bonus Christmas in July card!

I used the fabulous Bibi Cameron Snowflake card Creator die set which I have coveted since it was released last year. This is one of those dies that I really wanted to see in real life before committing. Oh how I wish I still had one of the four bricks and mortar shops that I used to have within a 45 minute drive. Anyway, it was half price in the sale so I decided to get it. And it is BIG – 15cm point to point for the base. It quite an optical illusion though because this card doesn’t feel that bid.

I folded a sheet of A4 card in half and then hung part of the die over the crease – this way I still had a hinged card base after it was cut. I gave up a sheet of 6×6 holographic card for the detailed snowflake – which is surprisingly delicate! Once that was glued down, I decided that I wanted to add some more snowflakes rather than the foliage that comes with the set. I used Memory Box’s Star Snowflake Discs.

Finally I added a sentiment from the Many Merry Christmas Sentiments set, also a Spellbinders bargain. I have to confess though, I bought the whole set because of this particular sentiment which is so me!

Thanks for stopping by!
