Pixie's Snippit's Playground #418

 I have just recently found this challenge Di is the owner of  Pixie's Crafty Workshop and right now there is a HUGE assortment of prizes to be won, You only have to make one card but you must check out all the posts and decide if you want to be entered for that prize. You have to use "snippits" which of course are scraps, you know how we all save scraps. I just started a Christmas/Winter snippit box here is a picture of it and what I used for my card is on top, I didn't take a picture of the "Ferrero Rocher" box that houses my extra sentiment cuts and other items. (I now have 3) 


When I have some time I sort scraps. Now on with my card.


I used a tutorial from Splitcoast Stampers for a "Disappearing 9 Patch Card" it looks really difficult but was very easy to do and the tutorial and video were very good. 
After I got the main image done I layered it on a spellbinders scalloped square die cut then on the white that is embossed with a poinsettia folder (SU)  Warm Winter Wishes in silver was already die cut and ready to use. 


I finished the inside with a Hero Arts sentiment and a couple of die cut trees also for the snippits box.

Since I can't seem to get out of Christmas mode, I made a mini slimline card with an Art Impressions golden oldies stamp and paired it with a slightly snarky sentiment. 


Close up of the sentiment, I used white opal liquid pearls on the hat and wink of stella on the glasses and bells. 


Scrap of plaid a scrap of red and a Stampendous sentiment to finish the inside.

Nutcracker Ballet?

 Well it's not really a ballet but Clara from Kraftin Kimmie Stamps, and she is holding a Nutcracker soldier. I thought it represented the Nutcracker Ballet. And now time to reveal the December Happy Little Stampers Christmas challenge.


Here is my card for the challenge.


As I said earlier I used a Kraftin' Kimmie stamp (long retire
d)  her name is Clara and she is holding a nutcracker (toy)  The frame was cut with Elizabeth Craft Designs stitched rectangles and the Merry Christmas is an Impression Obsession die. Now it was certainly a comedy of errors trying to get a sentiment for the front, first I die cut Happy Holidays from a patterned paper, wrong colour and too large, so then I cut Merry Christmas is Aqua, duh...it was the same colour and you couldn't see it so then for the 3rd try cut it in white. believe it or not it took 4 hours to just put the card together (colouring was already done)  Oh well Snippits for Di's Snippit Challenge.



For the inside I used the center cut from the frame that is on the front, The sentiment is from Stampendous and inked with Simon Says Stamp "high dive" ink pad.
