Die (Simon Says Stamp) - Kate Snowflake
Stamp set (Hero Arts) - It's Your Day
I also wanted to try the inlaid die cut technique I've seen a lot recently. As I have accumulated so many small scraps over the years, I thought it would be a good opportunity to use up some of these too. I didn't cut out a full snowflake each time (or I'd have ended up with loads more scraps to add to my pile!), I just put small pieces of card on the centre of the die before running it through my Big Shot.
As you can see I just used three colours when I was die cutting and inlaid a mix of blue and green card on the centre line.
I had also intended doing the same on the two other lines but changed the plan as I went along as I think I'd be still here next week messing with the fiddly little pieces! To finish I added the Hero Arts sentiment and some star gems.
I'm submitting this card into Simon Says Stamp Work It Wednesday Challenge and Simon Says Stamp Anything Goes Challenge.

What a great idea to stretch your snowflake dies, Heather! I didn't even take a look your Memory Box dies - those darn paper envelopes! - this looks like a fun one! Glad you're able to have crafty time after all our galavanting last week!!
I love the color combo and how you inlaid that center strip. Beautiful!
This is so cool! Love the colors and how you used this snowflake die. Awesome!
Perfection, Heather - love these colors together! And congrats on the shout out at Simon!!
This was a great idea. When I saw your card at SSS I thought "which one is that border die? A new one for sure"... really cool. Congrats on being spotted!
