LET IT SNOW

Good Tuesday morning to all

Hope you all had a good weekend, and an even better week in store for you all. I had a bit of a brain freeze this week, I have a few things to deal with this week that I wish would just disappear, and so apologize if you feel this weeks card is a bit samey,  I really love the poinsettia dies and find it hard not to use them, I hope you don't mind. I don't know what's in place for next months cards yet, It could be Christmas again, who knows. Watch this space!! Thank you all for taking the the time out to visit my blog and for anyone that is just  passing through I welcome you with open pokey tools too!! See you same time same place next Tuesday.

Have a good week and stay well.

Here goes!









Hope you like it!

Products used :-

Sue Wilson- Festive collection- Classic Poinsettias
Sue Wilson-       "             "        - Snowflakes
Sue Wilson-       "             "        - Holly Sprays
Sue Wilson-       "             "        - Let it Snow
Spellbinders Grande Squares

First I started by doing a matt & layer of Black, Glitter & Coconut White card and embossed the coconut white card with Snowflake EF. I cut out 2 frames with spellbinders Grande Squares and added two different thicknesses of sticky pads for a varied dimension. On the smaller frame I added the Sentiment. I made 3 Poinsettias 2 different sizes and the same for the leaves and arranged them on the frames. I cut a snow flake and 2 butterflies and added them to the top right of the frame. Finally I stuck little sparkles on each snow flakes.

Big Hugs to all :-)

    Hi Tina,
    You truly make some gorgeous flowers! I love your card. I love the white and silver and the sentiment is just so right for the card.
    I'm pinning it anyway - and I only Pin cards I like! So , no young lady, it's not " samey". It's lovely!
    Have a good week.
    Love Myra xxx

      Hi Myra

      Thank you Myra. I'm really pleased you like the flowers and the colours. Love that you've pinned it too, but the bit I like most is being called a young lady. I was out with my daughter a few weeks ago and she was asked for I D, I asked if she wanted to see mine. She said no but if you want to show me your bus pass feel free. My daughter and the check out lady thought it was hilarious. I must get some more age perfect cream and slap it on or not go through her checkout again.

    Don't apologise-your card is stunning. So crisp & fresh-I can see why you love using the poinsettia die when your flowers look as good as they do.

    Hi Tina

    Samey? No way. Same die, same gorgeous results. This would blow anyone away if they received it. It's an "ohmygod, wow! How did you do that?" card.

    Like Myra, I'm pinning too, as I only pin stuff I like as well!

    Hugs to you & the family,

    Hi Tina,
    Yet another stunning creation and in no way is your card 'samey'! I look forward every week to see what you come up with and have never once thought of them as 'samey' just stunning creations. I spy butterflies are they Sue Wilson's or another make as they are so pretty and although I have lots of butterfly dies I don't think I have this one....and I need/want it! Lol!
    Hope you are keeping well and your family too.

    Love Sheila xxx

      Hi Sheila

      Every week you leave such a lovely comment, and really pleased you look forward to coming back every week for another visit. They are not Sue's Butterflies so I can't list them on the work I do for CE. Because you want/need them, I know how you feel, I will look the make up tomorrow for you, promise, only I'm resting in bed after an op today, but will look it up for you tomorrow.
