I very much enjoy the pre-orders and special events that the Dies R Us Store has to offer. I have gotten to try out some brands of dies and stamps that I don't find in my local (limited) craft shop. I, for one, look forward to seeing what the weekend will have to offer. To find out about the pre-orders and special sales, sign up for the Dies R Us newsletter.
One of the last several weekends, the Dies R Us Store offered stamps and dies from Picket Fence Studio. I had seen this particular stamp and die set, but jumped at the chance to purchase and work with it.
This card uses 'Have a Wonderful Wintery Day':
Here's a picture of all the supplies used for this card:
I don't often get out my watercolor supplies, but this little snowman seemed to need it. I used Spectrum Noir Aquablend pencils on him.
Here he is, all colored up:
I don't always purchase the matching dies for stamp sets, but in this case, I'm really glad I did. The stamps are small, and I would not want to try to fuzzy cut around those stick arms!!
My camera got switched to manual, so I apologize for this blurry photo. I wanted you to see, though, how the die is positioned over the colored stamp, and held in place with washi tape.
Hopefully, you can see all that!
Here's everything die cut. I used snowflake dies from Lawn Fawn, and a stitched circle die, also from Lawn Fawn. The sentiment is included in the 'Have a Wonderful Wintery Day' Stamp Set.
The designer papers on this card are from We Are 3 Digital Shop. They are 2 of the papers offered in the Snowmen Paper Collection.
I'll leave you with one more photo of the wonderful wintery card!
