One More Merry Monday

Guess what?  We're having another Merry Monday!

Lesley says, "Although our weekly challenges are finished for 2012, we have decided to have a 2 week "Any Past Sketch" Challenge here at Merry Monday! You are welcome to use any of the past Merry Monday Sketches. To see all the sketches, please CLICK HERE.

When you create your post on your blog, please be sure to include the Sketch you used as well as the card you created." 


I chose sketch #12 since I wanted to use this new MB die.  Here's the sketch....


I cut 2 of the County Village and used some Stampin Dimensionals behind the front piece to give it a 3D look.

I put my new favorite snowflake embossing folder to use on the vellum and the Whisper White panel.  Once I got the village laid out, it went pretty fast.

Check out the other designers favorite sketches.  You'll be glad you did.


If you have some stampin' time, pick a sketch, make a card and link it up at the Merry Monday Challenge.

All supplies are Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted

Card Recipe
Stamps:  To You and Yours (retired)
Ink:  Midnight Muse
Paper:  Whisper White, Midnight Muse, Vellum
Other:  Country Village die (MB), Modern Label Punch, Snowflake EF (Cuttlebug)

Thanks for stopping by.  I can't wait to see what you've created lately.

Enjoy!

    What a great idea to cut 2 and pop the die forward. I will have to remember that trick!

    Love the card but especially love that gorgeous embossing plate. That really does look like snow!!!

    Susan, I don't see an address to contact you. Memory Box makes this die. I believe it's called Country Landscape.

    Beautiful scene, Bonnie! I love the depth you created by overlapping the die cuts and the way you continued the "snow" onto the blue strip.
    Hugs and Merry Christmas to you and your family.

    This has 2 of my favorite new things: the Snowflake folder, and the MB die. You've combined them so well and made just a perfectly lovely card. The layout is wonderful. TFS
