For the first card, I used the "Snowflake Trio"

The largest snowflake die was used to create the beautiful shape on the white layer so that when attached to the Paver Red CS it produced a gorgeous negative. I then added the die cuts of the middle and smallest snowflake. Sparkly Crystal glitter was added to the layers of the snowflake and as a final touch a large gem!
For my second card I used "Sew Much Fun Die Set" and it truly was SO much fun to play with the dress form. (note that I didn't use the pun this time) I have a blast every time I play with the dress form and I think it is because it's a bit like playing paper dolls, only more fun because I am totally in charge of what goes on the dress!

The dress form was cut out in white and then in black CS. I cut away the bottom and top of the form to leave a little black dress. I added a tulle skirt, three festive fibers and rhinestone buttons! Thanks for looking and now on to the fun PRIZE details:

Beautiful cards. I never would have thought of the dress form for a Xmas card, but the way you "dressed" it, it would be a really clever & cute card to give to a girlfriend! Very creative.
