City Crafters: Blessings, Peace, & Love

I have a snowflake die set in my not-yet-used stash.  It's an older set but new-to-me.  It's one of those sets that I didn't buy right away but I kept thinking about it (typically I see, I love, I forget - no offense to any stamp company but I have a massive stash already).  I like the way the dies layer up, but don't get heavy - they are still delicate snowflakes.

I've seen samples of this set done in pastels, in brights, in whites - and others.  This card is intended for friends with a brand new baby boy so I used a soft blue and a bit of gingham.  Not that the card is for the baby, but I think it fits their life right now. (Although the "peace" may be pushing things with a brand new baby in the house for the holidays!)

I still have a number of Christmas stamps and dies in my not-yet-used stash.  The inspiration to pull out these dies came from the City Crafters Snowflakes challenge..

I also pulled out another new-to-me set - Simon Says Stamp Tiny Words Christmas.  Although since there are almost 50 sentiments in this set - and since I only used one of them - it's going right back in my to-be-used box!
