Snowman Season & Christmas Pinecone Dies

Snowman Season & Christmas Pinecones Dies

Hello my stamping friends,

Here is this week's card project featuring the Christmas Pinecone Dies again.  Can you tell I really liked these dies, there are so many wonderful ways to use them in your projects.  Let them be the focal point, or use them for embellishments to coordinate with other elements of your creations.  This card, I am mimicing the image in the DSP by using the dies to make the embellishment.  I also incorporated my favorite embossing folder, Evergreen, to create a coordinating and suble background image.

 

I hope you enjoy the layout and the easy to follow instructions included below.  There is also the link to the quick photo tutorial I shared on my Youtube Channell.

Please if you are shopping for supplies, I greatly appreciate your business.  As a thank you, I not only send you a hand-stamped card, but also include a tutorial and card kit for your crafting fun.  Plus as a VIP you are invited to join my FB Group where I share more projects with my customers.

Happy Stamping,

Susan
