Well it's not really. We've had some lovely sunshine this week but CASology are looking for white on their cue card. So snow came to mind.
I recently purchased Stampin' Up!'s Snow Flurry die from the Autumn/Winter catalogue and thought it was about time I had a play with it.
My first card uses two of the die cuts layered up with some sparkly Basic Rhinestones to add a little glimmer. A strip of Whisper White embossed with Perfect Polka Dots sits behind it. I added touches of blue to my card because I always love it when you get a crisp snowy day and it's so white you can see a hint of blue. Merry Christmas from Stampin' Up!'s Petite Pairs is stamped in Bashful Blue and the mount is also Bashful Blue.
Here's a second card using the full snowflake all layered up.
Again I've given it a little bling with a large Basic Rhinestone in the middle and dots of Dazzling Details Silver Sparkle. Also in the Autumn/Winter catalogue. I'm loving this new catalogue, my wish list is huge from the suppliment alone! The snowflake is attached to a panel of Bashful Blue then onto a second panel of Whisper White.
These were so quick and simple to run up. Perfect for making a batch of Christmas cards.
If you would like to get in touch to discuss your wish list then please email me on ails300@btinternet.com. There's lots of ways you can spread the cost. One of them is to join Stampin' Up! as a demonstrator and earn the discount for yourself. Get in touch if you would like to discuss this further.

I'd like to extend a lovely warm welcome to Natali. Thanks so much for deciding to follow my little blog.
Hope it's not snowing where you are but lovely and sunny instead! Hee Hee x
