Snippet Busting

A little snippet busting this week.  Everything used for these four cards were snippets, except for the base cards.

The frame was die cut in black and again with pastel coloured card just in one of the strips each.  The coloured strips were inlaid in the frame.  The sentiment is an Impression Obsession die cut.

For my second card, I used a matt silver card blank, die cut the frame in white and used the same pastel coloured snippets as I used in the first card.

The Snippet Playground this time is to use snippets but with a twist of creating a Christmas project.  So, I made two Christmas cards using the same design as above, but with Christmas patterned paper inlaid.
The patterned paper for both these cards was from an old Dovecrafts Christmas 12 x 12 paper pad.  The sentiment was made with Sweet Dixie dies.

I am joining in the following challenges with this card:

  4. Very lovely die cut to add some wonderful inlaid papers. The pastels are wonderful and a great way to use lots of colors and scraps if they are in your stash. Love the Christmas one. The die cut is very versatile.

  9. Great cards Liz! I keep forgetting that I have either the same or a very similar die - thanks for the prompt. I can imagine it's almost therapeutic inlaying the strips into the apertures!

    Hugs
