Inspired by Marina


Hi friends!
My good friend Marina is being CASEd at City Crafter Challenge and of course I did not want to miss the opportunity to CASE her myself. Her card gave me so many ideas, I absolutely loved the layout. Here it is:


I followed Marina's layout and colors but switched up the colors by using brown card base and white, die cut snowflakes (inspired by current CASology: Season... I chose the Christmas season).  Before die cutting the snowflakes I adhered stick it- adhesive to my white card and with the help of that this card took no time at all! I love that stick-it product. :) I used a very simple sentiment by MFT to keep my design CAS, those die cut snowflakes do fill most of the card... But since I have no extra layers and my design is so repetitive and simple, I hope I'm still within CAS! 

The snowflake die is by Joy Crafts. I've been wanting this die for more than 2 years... I had once received one die cut from somewhere, no idea where, and since making one of my all-time favorite Christmas cards with it (photo of that fave card below) I knew I HAVE TO find the die... And after a lot of detective work I now have it! :) 


Anyway friends, I wish you all a happy weekend and a fun May Day if you are celebrating it. Thanks for popping by!


Along with  City Crafter Challenge and CASology I'm entering:

  6. Those beautiful snowflakes look amazing against the craft - love it. I was thinking of you today and remembering being with you in Finland this time last year - the wonderful concert and all the people in their May Day grad hats.... can't wait to see you in a few weeks.

  12. First of all, I LOVED your first design using this pretty snowflake die (the one with the small red square). So much that I CASED your card. And now you have designed another stunning card with this die-cut. LOVE the brown background ... it really shows off the white snowflakes. Another very inspirational design, Nonni! xx
