Anna-Karin<\/a> made a glossy tag with a snowflake background. The tag was stamped with snowflakes from Simon Says Stamp Making Spirits Bright<\/a> and inked with Distress ink.

Cheiron<\/a> made a card explaining how she really feels about snow using the Tim Holtz Festive Words<\/a> and Alphanumeric Script<\/a> Thinlits dies.

Emma<\/a> invites you to the ‘Jingle Bells Postal Telegraph’ and created an Etcetera Panel<\/a> using a combination of new and old dies by Tim Holtz and Sizzix.

Kath<\/a> created a card with a Scottish Winter theme, inspired by the recent snowfall on the Cairngorm Mountains and the resident herd of Red Deer who have made their way down the mountains into the forests in search of food and shelter. She used Tim Holtz\/Sizzix Pine Branches 3D Texture Fade<\/a> on the background, Forest Shadows<\/a>, Cool Yule <\/a>and Festive Words<\/a> Thinlits with colours of Distress Oxide Inks inspired by the heather that grows on the mountains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
