Snow Much Thanks

Hello friends.  Did you get lots of new crafty goodies for Christmas?  One of my gifts was the new Simon Says Stamp Snow Much Thanks kit...LOVE it!  And the SSS Wednesday challenge this week is to use something "new", so it couldn't have worked out anymore perfect that I had just finished this card using my new Snow Much Thanks kit:


OK, my sentiment is not a "Thank You", but I needed a birthday card...everything else though is from this new kit!  Well, almost everything!  I stamped my top layer with the Delicata White Shimmer pigment ink that came with the kit, using a bunch of the different snowflakes (Frozen Fractals) that also come with the kit.  I added some clear embossing powder and then heat set so I could blend my inks over them (Lovely Lilac & Pool Party - SU!).  I used PTI's Noted: Scalloped A2 Vertical Die set to cut my top layer and the scalloped base layer.  The top layer I added to a layer of Cornflower Blue cs that came with the kit.  I used a piece of the Blue Gray parchment paper that also came with the kit to die cut a banner and embossed that with the Delicata White Shimmer ink and a sentiment from PTI's Winter Hills set and a few more of the tiny snowflakes that came with the kit.  I tied some white twine around the top two layers and then added a few of the iridescent sequins that were also a part of the kit.  This kit is out of stock right now, but there is a link to be notified when it comes back in stock right HERE.  This kit is jam packed with goodies, and if you're a snowflake lover like me, you'll really want to check this kit out!

You can check out what everyone else is doing with all their "NEW" stuff and play along right HERE.

Thanks so much for stopping by today...I love it when you do!  :0)
