Fun with Dies

Happy Saturday, it's time for a new challenge at Allsorts. This is our last challenge of the year and as a reminder - starting today all of our challenges will run for two weeks!!

This week Sarah is hosting and she chose the theme of "Use Your Dies". As always there is the Anything Goes option. This week we have 3 prizes of Oakwood dies and coordinating stamps.

Here is what I came up with using a new to me die set from Penny Black called Mitten Stocking



Most pieces on the mitten (including the mitten) are part of the die set, only the snowflake is part of Penny Black's Dancing Snowflakes die set. I layered the mitten onto Penny Black's Polaroid Die cut. On the white background I used Penny Black's background stamp Christmas Story. The kraft paper was embossed using an old Sizzix embossing folder. I embellished with a little "button" snowflake and twine and some Frosted Lace stickles glitter.

Oh how cute! I just did a Christmas stocking card myself but I cut the stocking with a Circuit machine. Dies have certainly grown in popularity.
