Make For The Border

We are showcasing Memory Box Products this week. You don't have to use them to join in but if you have some we would love to see them used

As always Simon Says Stamp will be giving away $50 voucher to shop at the fabulous Simon Says Stamp Store

I apologise for yet another Christmas Cards but so called friends on FB keep reminding me and brain washing me to make them.

Now I have some current border dies from Memory Box but I decided that I may need a couple to add to my collection and this challenge gave me a reason to do so. I brought the Memory Box Fresh Pine Curved Border and the Warm Wishes Border. When I cut the Pine Trees they looked like the wind tried to blow them over! So a little tip I used the front cover of the envelope the die came in and it places the trees upright then add the layers you want.

The Warm Wishes border I cut then cut in blue and trimmed the words off and stuck on the white, while doing this is would have been much easier to cut of the white words and slot the blue behind the white. Also I would keep the blue dots so I could add them into the white holes.

So thats the borders now for my snow I used the Simon Says Stamp Be Joyful and stamped the snowfalling in Versamark and embossed with clear powder. Then used a couple of Distress Ink to colour the night sky Chipped Sapphire and Broken China.

Now my snow scene looked a bit plain I could have added another border but instead I used the North Pole from Simon Says Stamp Retro Christmas and carefully cut it with a tiny white border so I could keep the strings for the lights.

I haven't made next week's DT challenge card, I will try to make it non Christmassy but no promises.

So now it's YOUR turn.  Happy Crafting
