BBTB/Crafts for Eternity,365



I was excited to see Regina from BBTB set the challenge this week to use the snowflake cut #13 from Accent Essentials. I agree with her, this is the best snowflake and cuts like a dream. I used this week's Crafts 4 Eternity sketch for my card. I was really excited to see my design technique mentioned on the Crafts 4 Eternity blog this week and hope it helped someone else. The supplies I used for this card:
Dark blue and white cardstock-DCWV
Metallic blue cardstock-DCWV
Winter print paper-DCWV
White lace
Clear rhinestones
Lace corner punch-Fiskars
Martha Stewart glitter
Cricut-Accent Essentials cartridge
This is a 6" square card made from dark blue cardstock. I topped it with blue metallic cardstock placing lace on the edge. I used my pattern I made from last week's Crafts 4 Eternity sketch to cut my print paper. I cut my center snowflake at 2 1/2" added glitter and placed it on dark blue cardstock with the corners punched. My small white snowflakes in the corner are cut at 3/4" and 1" and covered with glitter. I added clear rhinestones to all my snowflake centers. The flourishes on the card are also cut from the Accent Essentials cartridge at 2 1/2" and I put glitter on them. I added clear rhinestones to all my snowflake centers. I used my computer to print my sentiment in blue ink.

Jeri this is fab hun, great tip you gave us sweetie, I never thought of that so thank you. That snowflake is stunning, I have a cricut and that cartridge, I don't use my cricut enough & did not realise that snowflake was even there, I need to see others use these things before I realise how good they are so thank you, i will be cutting some of those beauties out. Thanks for playing along at C4E.
