Time to make another card using the lovely die cut set from Hunkydory Moonstone selection - Do you want to build a snowman
This time I decided to use my electric die cutting machines to create a frame section with the cut message 'Happy Christmas';
- I created the white frame using my Cricut Create machine and welded the lettering to a square shape, then used my Brother Scan n Cut machine to create the two mat sections in red and green.
Note: I used the two machines because my Cricut Create only cuts to a maximum size of 5.5 inches and the card I wanted to create was 7 inches square.
I then cut the snowman and his accessories out using my manual die cutting machine, cutting two or three pieces of each item in green, red , white and brown card stock.
I glued the lettering to the frame section and created the main frame with the mats and layers and fixed this to the base card using 1mm foam tape, in order to add dimension.
I then created the main snowman feature of the card and fixed in to the centre of the aperture again using 1mm 3D foam pads.
As I advised on my previous blog post I like to add dimension and detail to my die cut pieces by layering up sections, and on this occasion I've added small white pom poms to the bobble hat. I fixed each of these cut pieces around the white frame section lifting some pieces with 1mm 3D foam pads to create more detail.
I love the final result. What do you think ?
