Spirited Snowmen Bakers Box Light for 3D Thursday

Yes... I know... I said I was putting them (Spirited Snowmen) away!
But before I did.. I had another thought... and then I just couldn't resist combining this Bakers Box Light with this card...
Love the end result...

And for those of you that have already bought the Farmhouse Christmas Trio of Tutorial(s)... here is  a bonus fourth project for you! I just replaced the house with the Snowmen...
And added hand torn, sponged and glittered 11cm (4 3/8" )wide x about 2 cm(3/4") and 3cm (1 1/4") pieces of Whisper White card...

Shorter glued to the front of the light & tab...
And higher across the back from tree to tree (roughly) - so kind of diagonally... you want yours to go down to the floor on the base! Not a bit raised like mine (as I had a momentary lapse of concentration as I stuck things!!!) And (with hindsight!) I also wish I had put this behind the tree to the right hand side ( though I would have had to cut out a notch then for the tree box!)!!
All finished off with a 1 1/4" punched circle  - dazzled up with Wink of Stella - and Hearts Come Home stamped Santa on his sleigh!

Back to my clean & simple Piece of Cake card that I posted yesterday...

But before I start... today is the last day of the Extravaganza Sale... Tools & Inks with 10% off ..but only for about 15 more hours... Big Shot or Stamparatus not included... Ends 10.30pm today, Wednesday 28 November.

See my Top Picks below...

And/or Click on the picture below to go straight to all of the products in the Sale...
And so now back to Piece of Cake and the card...
I just had to add a Swirls & Curls debossed mat to finish it off... Probably the first time I used a debossed side... but both sides of this pattern are truly scrumptious! Available in the Autumn Winter Catalogue (and shhh... happy dance... carrying over!)
And three versions of the card for you today... with and without the Copper Foil mat... More details on the stamping and colouring elements in yesterdays post... 
And finished off with a tiny Copper Trim bow... for those of you that like your bows...
And seeing as I was taking a few more photos... here is your Sneak Peek of the whole stamp set... though apologies as I forgot to put the punch in the shot!!! Aargh!
Piece of Cake stamps and co-ordinating punch available from January 2019. Punch is a doubler... punches the cake and the stand...

And finally a couple of gluing tips for you for the stand part... You can either use the Thin Foam strips...like so...
Or you can use a couple of Mini Stampin Dimensionals and cut up the thinnest left around the sides of your Stampin Dimensionals... like so...

I know this is going to be popular! It just covers so many occasions... and who doesn't like a piece of cake! Especially when it is such an easy BAKE (make!)

Come back tomorrow to see inside... along with the whole stamp set.... and a slightly more decorated version of the card... as I will have taken some more photos by then!!

Simple Spirited Snowmen for Merry Monday

I think I had better put these cute Spirited Snowmen stamps out of sight... as I just couldn't resist putting another quick card together!

Especially as... the snowmen were ready!... the square frame was already cut...the Winter Woods die cut spindly tree lay there all glittered and ready to go...  the Twinkle Twinkle paper panel was already cut to size (aka leftovers!) ... so I just needed to hand cut a curvy snowy bank...
And stamp the greeting!

And then I had another thought... and added a bit of holly too...
But which one do you prefer? With or without holly...

And don't forget Part 2 of the Sale is still on today! Stamps & Kits with 10% off. Click here or below to go straight to the Store... And don't forget the Host Code!
