It’s time for the annual craft weekend at my friend Lisa’s, and I decided to do a little blog post at the end of each day. We started our weekend this afternoon, and I worked on die cutting pieces for some winter-themed cards for seniors. I had purchased a pack of paper and coordinating dies from Echo Park — the dies are adorable, but they have so many tiny pieces. I figured if I started with cutting and assembling a whole bunch of pieces, then I’d have a collection of images ready to go for cards.
I grouped the dies by color and taped them together so I didn’t lose any and they were a little easier to work with.
Penguin pieces are on the left, trees in the middle, and snowmen on the right. So many teeny, tiny pieces.
Here is everything finished: six penguins and eighteen trees and snowmen. I used card stock colors to coordinate with the patterned paper. Even though they were challenging — especially the penguins’ eyes, beaks, and feet — they went together faster than I thought they would.
That was all my crafting for the day. We had shrimp scampi for dinner and belated birthday treats for dessert (pumpkin cheesecake for Lisa and a Reese’s chocolate-peanut butter cupcake for me) while we watched Hallmark Christmas movies.
Thanks for stopping by!
