Last week I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw that I had won a Guest DT spot at the Die Cut Dreams Christmas Challenge blog. What an honour and complete surprise that really made my day. I really do love making Christmas cards and it doesn't matter how many stamps I have I just can't resist buying more. However, the stamp I've used to make this card and matching gift tag is so old that I can barely see the design on the wood mount. It still stamps okay though and that's what really matters.
As you may have already guessed Die Cut Dreams are asking everyone to create a card and matching gift tag. I must admit I do like to do this for special people so it's nice to have one ready in my box for next Christmas. Eeek it's only February!
Materials used...
- Snowflake ornament stamp by All Night Media 926J
- Marianne die cut circular frame
- CD - yes behind the frame is a CD. I really like the effect. It reminds me of the little mirrors they used to sew on clothing. (in the days of my hippy youth)
- gorgeous black and white snowflakes swirl patterned card by Kanban
- black, red and silver mirri card
- Swiss dots embossing folder
- black organza ribbon
- large Sizzix tag die
- Black sentiment peel off
Additional Challenges...
- Winter Wonderland - It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas (well it is on my blog anyway!)
- Bah! Humbug! - Use a CD
- Stamp Something - something funky - hmmmmm think having a CD on is funky and the lettering is so reckon I can enter this.
Have a fantastic weekend everyone. I'm scheduling this to post in the morning and right now I'm off to watch a soppy DVD - 'Letters to Juliet'. I've seen so many trailers for this - hope it's as good as it looks.

Super idea to make a matching tag.

Well done on your GDT spot Ann. Love this card and well done on incorporating yet another CD. You are so clever. Ha Ha I used to have loads of hippy skirts with the mirrors on. Wonder where they went, they would be great for card embellishments. Debs xx
