Sweet Dixie's Candy Cane

Good morning all I hope you are all well on this Sunday morning.

It looks like we could be in for a wet day today.

Where as the sun done I were just getting used to it.

I just want to say if any of you are finding it hard to leave 

a comment. If the comment icon is not showing just

click onto the time that I posted and that will bring up

the comment icon. I have not got a clue why this as started

to happen any advice is welcome as I have run out of them.

For today I have used dies all from Sweet Dixie die which I

love as they are all of a good size for the money.

I have used the Candy Cane, Holly and Bow frame

and the Poinsettia die set I have also used Sue Wilson's

snow flake embossing embossing folder and the holly spray.

I started of with a 8"x 8" white card which I cut two mats

out of white linen card and with the smallest one I embossed

it with the snow flake embossing folder.

I added these to my card.

I then cut out my frame with the Holly and bow frames

I added this to the centre of my card by using foam tape.

I then cut out my poinsettia and the holly spray which I added

to the bottom corner.

Next I stamped my sentiment which is by Phill Martin and it's

from the christmas snowflake collection.

I cut it out with the smallest die from the frames die set.

I added it to the top corner.

Next for the candy cane I covered a piece of white card

with double sided sticky sheet I rubbed it down so it

were stuck down really well.

I then cut the candy cane die but remember do not emboss it

or you will not get the sticky sheet cover will not come off.

I peeled the backing off and I covered it with cosmic shimmer

Icicle sparkle glitter.

I added this the the centre of my frame.  

That's all for today and I thank you for stopping by.
