Dies R Us #182 ~ Snowballs for Sale

   Hello everyone, and welcome to our latest challenge at Dies R Us.


Challenge #182 ~ Anything Goes! 
(As long as you use a die sold at the Dies R Us store) 

Snowmen are just too cute, and they always make for a happy and festive card, don't you think?


Just look at this cutie.  He is so ready for a snowball fight :-)
To make this card, I started with a piece of snowflake pattern paper from North Wind from Craft & You Design.

I added the snowbanks and the trees.  After fiddling about with my printer and the little wood sign for a while, I finally got the little message printed on the board.  It took some major finagling but where there is a will there is a way, and by golly I was going to get that sign printed :-)  Next I used a small circle punch to punch out the snowballs.  Once this was all done, it was time to die cut and put together Fred the snowman :-)  When everything was adhered to the card, I felt like there was a lot of empty space on the top, so I cut out a snowflake border and added it to complete the scene.


On the inside, I used the rest of the snowflake background paper, added a few trees and the greeting to finish it all off.

Here is the list of supplies I used to make this card.  Remember that not all items are in stock right now because some of the international dies I used are only on sale during Special Order Sales events. The best way to know about these is to subscribe to the Dies R Us Newsletter HERE
