Last Chance -Snow Globe Scenes Dies and Still Scenes

I love the Snow Globe Scenes dies, it was a set that grew on me, I did not buy it when it was first released. I wasn’t sure that I needed another Snow globe die kit (I have one from a while ago). However, the gorgeous inspiration on Pinterest, Facebook and You Tube cracked my resolve and led to me purchasing the dies. I love the inspiration that I get from everyone and decided that the dies were so pretty and my other snow globe set was more of a card creation set and didn’t include the bear, church, stag or trees. Although the Snow Globe Scenes dies co-ordinate with the Still Scenes set, I think that they can stand alone, being used with any stamp set. For these cards I used the Still scenes stamps as well.

I hope you like my cards, I felt that there were lots of cards using the snow globes so I thought would put a different spin on it. My favourite is the watercolour background. What is yours?

CASEing my favourite design

I love searching for inspiration either by searching Google images or using Pinterest, although I can spend hours searching and not enough time crafting. Whilst looking for inspiration for a snowman card, I found an amazing card created by Karina’s Kreation’s the card can be found here. I loved the simplicity and that it had layers but not what I would call ‘normal layers.’

I have to confess that my first card that I tried, was not that amazing. I think that the snowy panel is too large and the Stitched Shape die is too small. I then went back to the drawing board, looking at the panel sizes and also the snow banner.

I finally came up with a size that I liked, which I felt is balanced for the card.

I used traditional blue snow colours, but I think that this would work with lots of different colours. I prefer the Night of Navy and Balmy Blue, whats your favourite?
