Another Nature Themed Christmas Card

Good Morning Everyone!
This year it seems like everyone is using forests and deer in creating beautiful scenes for Christmas.  I did create a tag with birch trees and deer and you can see it HERE.  This time I used tiny cardinals and Dee's snow covered tree die to create the following scene:

I have to say, I really like the way it turned out and am truly enjoying creating these scenes.  It is so relaxing to play with the pieces and watch the scene develop.

And don't forget to decorate the inside of your card!


With this unusual Arctic cold snap with snow showers we are having, this card is just perfect!

Supplies used:
Dies:  Dee's Large snow covered tree, garland and mini stars
          Impression Obsession Birch trees and Merry Tree
Embossing folder:  Sizzix
Copic markers:  Cool grays, black, reds

Thank you for stopping by and keep warm!

A Different Use of Corner Dies

Hello Everyone!
I came across a great idea that I wanted to share with you!  Use your corner dies to embellish other things than just corners!

 Above, are the corner die cuts from the new Anja vintage corner set and a tag from another Anja set that many of you already have!

 Now, place the corners on the tag and you have a fabulous new tag! 

Stamp a sentiment on the inside and what a pretty look! 

You can even cut the corners from a different color card stock to get another look!  You can place these tags on the front of your card, or spiffy up the inside! Use them horizontally or vertically.

And for something different, the corner in the picture directly above, even looks like a butterfly!

Time to think outside of the box...............you will find that the possibilities are endless!  I love it when I can use my supplies in various ways!  I'm sure you do too!

Supplies used:

Dies:  Anja's large oval, Anja's vintage corners
