Snowflakes and Stars

Hi and Happy Holidays! 

I don't know where I've been, busy, I guess, but I just realized this is the final challenge for the Squash It team. So I just have to participate in Let's Squash It Challenge # 27 that calls for snowflakes and stars. I am really going to miss this challenge. It has been fun! Thanks Gail and Jo.

Here is my card:

 Choosing an embossing folder was my first step. Luckily I use Evernote, so I could see all my snowflake and stars folders. This is a new one from Simon Says Stamp called Faceted Snowflakes. Still available.

Next I made an A2 side opening  base card from Night of Navy cardstock, a perennial favorite color of mine by Stampin' Up! The snowflake ef was run through my Gemini Jr. using PTI white cardstock. 

The idea for the sweater is a CASing of a card I made years ago, maybe 2018 and probably blogged about on my old blog. Remember it? Lucky I save everything. Teehee. Anyway, the die is from the retired Elizabeth Craft Designs called Winter Sweater, and for sale a couple of other places.

For the stars I punched them out with an old SU mini star punch. And finally, added Brrr in the navy using a die from another SU/Sizzix retired set named Snowflake Card Thinlits. A layer of white is inside for a note or sentiment when I am ready to send this out. 

Done. What do you think? Because the embossing folder is new, I am adding this to Darnell's NBUS Challenge #45 and as the Brrr is from a snippet of paper, am also entering Di and Sarn's Snippet Playground #443. 

Goodbye my friends. Hope to see you next time. Sending Happiest Holiday Wishes to you all!!
