My last one for the month! I got a new snowman die that I wanted to use to see how it looked. I’m glad I bought this one because I really like it! (sorry about the shadows—I need to get better lighting or better photography skills—or both!)  CARDtober 28 by DanaAs a twist, use white as a main color in the element/embellishment (background doesn’t count.) I used a white die cut, but it doesn’t have to be a die cut—it can be a sticker or whatever other element/embellishment you have. This is intentionally vague so it should be pretty easy to get the extra twist point for this one! |

I love your snowman die. That is such an unusual die that I might have passed it up, but seeing it made makes me LOVE it. I love images where you see the shape of the image through the negative spaces. Such a cute card. This is a great challenge, ComplicatedLady. It made me pull out 3 dies I had never used and some white glitter paper that has been in the bottom of a drawer for a couple of years.  Christmas Ornament in White |

So the main challenge is to use a big die? I'll have to see if I have anything that will work. Nothing as cool as your big snowman though! But I think I have an idea. Oh, I almost forgot about my Christmas ornament die cut, even after seeing your lovely card nylene - I love all your shine and that rich red. The dot border is really neat  |

The dot border is really neat  Ha—I guess I could’ve been clearer on that, huh? I got a little excited by the cute die and overwhelmed by my crazy weekend! Main challenge—use a large die cut or other large embellishment. Twist—use a white large die cut or other large embellishment. nylene I love your card! The shiny red and sparkly white look so clean and festive! And yay for digging out some oldie but goodie craft items! I found that snowman die on clearance and thought it would either make really cool looking cards or it would be awful. I took the gamble since it was a clearance price and I’m glad I did! |

That is such a cute snowman die-cut! I’d buy it, too, if I weren’t on a freeze. nylene, your card is exquisite! I love the silver and red together, and the rhinestone border is perfect. This is my take on the challenge:  |

Linda, it’s lovely. I really like how the snowflakes show through the tree outline.

azcrafty , that die is one I ordered from China. I don't know if there is a US manufacturer. Thanks for your comments. I love the tree card and the popped up branches of the tree. The tiny pearls are such a rich touch. Lovely. Linda, that's a pretty die cut tree. Is that a Cricut cut file? It has a fun, almost clip art look and is so lovely in white with just white snow below. It turned out so nice. scrapnnana, that is a great birthday card. I love the intricate cuts and the pearls really adds to the elegance.

azcrafty - very elegant looking tree nylene - I cut it on my Cricut but it's not from a Cricut cartridge - I found it online back when I first got the Cricut and I can't remember where.
