Top Dog Dies Christmas Blog Hop


Hi and Welcome to Top Dog Dies Holiday Blog Hop!  If this is your first stop on the hop be sure to check out the end of this post for all the details on how you can enter to win a fabulous Top Dogs Dies eGift voucher!  Remember for extra entries don't forget to leave a comment on this blog and my teammate's blogs!

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:

I must admit, I never thought of putting it on the dress form die. Since I like bling, your Season Sparkled card had me drooling. Fabulous job on both cards.
