Lil' Inker December Mini Hop - Squares and Snowflakes

Welcome, welcome!!!
To day two of the Lil' Inker December Mini Release and Hop...


I've made a fun and fast card using all
of the following new Lil' Inker products:

Winter Wishes Stamp Set
Snowflake Dies
Stitched Square Mat
A little info before we get to the card - 

I pulled a bit of die "self personalization" with this
darling set of snowflake dies (see photos below).

1) The dies come attached together.
2) Snip them apart with some heavy duty craft scissors.
3) Now you can use the dies individually!
4) For the Card: Die cut smallest snowflake in center of patterned paper.
5) Next die cut around snowflake (negative) with square.
6) Now you you have a darling focal point!


Here's my card:


The tiny snowflake and greeting are "made" for the snowflake dies.
A great view of those nested Square Mats - so cute!
I notched either side of the card front to place the ribbon.

  3. Too cool, layering (and then apparently tying) your square mats together (that is a cute little detail I will be filing away for future use...). I love that effect of one big snowflake in the middle of the card. Beautiful choice of papers and colours, too.
