Let It Snow Card

Hello all!  This card was all about me trying out these new snowflake dies that I had purchased off of eBay.  I got out my DCWV Frosted Spruce stack and got to work!
 First, I cut the card front out with a stitched rectangle die from Gina Marie Designs.  Then I positioned the large snowflake from the set where I wanted it.  I found that no matter what I did with that large snowflake die, using a shim, running it through the die cut machine multiple times, different papers, I could not get the center part of the snowflake to cut through.  The three smaller dies worked with a shim though.  As disappointed as I was about the large snowflake, the dies were extremely cheap so I really wasn't out of much.  Plus I think the effect on this card is neat the way it is cut.
For embellishments, I added silver stickles and white Nuvo crystal drops.  The sentiment is from Annie's Paper Boutique's Let It Snow set.
I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!

    I actually really love how the large snowflake didn't cut all the way through. It gives it another dimension to the card! Great job Beth!

    Have a crafty day, Sonja

    I simply LOVE this card -I know that big snowflake was a pain in the butt to cut.... but... I love the after affect... Gives it more dimension and stands out so elegantly on your card! :)

    It turned out so awesome, what a really great idea. I have some dies that do that too. I totally thought it was my machine??? Guess not.
