Christmas snowflakes

Good morning folks

I do hope this post finds you well. I am sat in my dressing gown watching the lovely Lisa from Creative Expressions on Hochanda, browsing through my card photos and I have discovered a whole load of cards that I have not yet shown you. I started my Christmas cards in the summer holidays and this is one of the easier ones I made - 

I have just noticed how wonky that looks - I hope it is just the camera angle! For this card I have used - 

• matt black card (from Crafter's Companion)
• gold glitter card (from Crafter's Companion)
• gold matt mirri (from Crafter's Companion)
• Shimmering snowflakes 3D embossing folder (from Crafter's Companion)
• Pebeo antique gold gilding wax
• Downton Abbey ornate oval frame die (from Crafter's Companion)
• Gemini festive words 1 die set (from Crafter's Companion)
• Spellbinder's snowflake die
• black organza ribbon from my stash

 I love these 3D embossing folders but have only just realized that I was using the wrong sandwich in my Gemini, thank you Fiona. It should be one clear cutting plate, magnetic shim and thin plastic mat. I was using just the cutting plate and the pastic shim so the emboss is not quite as deep as it should be.

I think I was possibly a little heavy handed with the gilding wax it some areas of the embossing. I need to remember less is more.

That's all from me today folks. Enjoy your Saturday whatever you are upto - I am off to buy new curtains for my Hubby's study.

Crafty hugs
