Hello friends!
First, I am sharing a funny photo of ME and my pet cat Alexia! As you know, Norway is full of fjords and....trolls! We had a few sightings of trolls during our visit. They seem creepy and ugly, but as I saw them more and more, I find them kind of cute and endearing...
As you can tell, I was having fun "hanging out" with the trolls. I am s-l-o-w-l-y compiling our travel photos. Do you know we took nearly 3000 photos combined?
If you are interested in seeing them, do let me know, so I would feel motivated to post them :)

On to the cards today....I am popping in to share more snowflake creations . If you miss seeing my two previous cards, just click here.
This Nadine snowflake die is one of the new release from Simon Says Stamp.
I wanted to explore the idea of using transparency with the snowflake die.

These two cards are pretty much self-explanatory. All the details are in the layering.
I love how transparency adds that extra shine and lightness to the design. I chose pattern paper to make this super easy to do.
And my 2nd card has inlaid diecut (the bottom layer).

I added an extra snowflake vellum to the snowflake and built a small nest of circle with silver thread and a blue enamel dot.

We, kiddos and I, love seeing your travel photos!
I think the trolls are a hoot. Especially with Alexa sitting on their feet and you hanging off their nose. Very funny. Can't wait to see the other photos. (Maybe not all 3000, though.) That transparency behing you first card adds a fascinating dimension to that snowflake. You can even see the reflection of it in the picture. Both cards showcase that die beautifully.
That picture of you made me smile big time Virginia!
Your snowflake cards are so beautiful!
I really want that die now ;)

Great cards and I love the pics! Jo x
What fun photos Virginia!! I love those trolls!! Your cards are so pretty too. I like the simplicity and the way you used the vellum/transparency to make the snowflakes so "light" looking. Beautiful designs!
Thanks so much for sharing these great photos with us, Virginia! I would LOVE to see more, but I can't imagine having to sift through 3,000 of them...yikes! So fun to see Alexia again, too :)
Two really gorgeous cards! I love how you always find several ways to play with one die or stamp, and that each of your ideas are so creative! After seeing what you've done here, this snowflake is going right onto my wishlist! Thanks so much for your inspiration!
