Snippet catch up

 Hello lovely crafters. 

I hope everyone is warm and looking on the bright side. We've had a little snow which is very unusual here in December. 

I started this crafting session (which lasted 3 days) by thinking I'd make a quick card with an odd piece of pretty red inked card. Inspired to use a star die, I fished them out and found lots more stars in the bag already cut out so hence several more cards. All the stars used here were pre-cut. Who knows why I had that many?

Greeting from the same red card and white leafy boughs from snippets. I was sure I had a little red bow and found it in my exploding ribbon box. 

I wanted something just behind the star. I tried partial embossing but that went wrong and resulted in the creation of a new snippet. 

Finally I inked Versamark through a starry stencil and dusted on some Perfect Pearls. It's very subtle but just what I wanted. 

Mark II. A white and silver star with Perfect Pearls on the star and in the background. 

Mark III I was pleased to find that I had a bow die and could use more of the red scrap. 

Top tip, don't lean over your concertina file looking for scraps of green paper while holding a die. You'll drop the die and have to go through the whole file looking for it. 🙄

Think I've done well but still can't quite throw it away 🤷

I'm skipping over to the Snippet's Playground to admire the Christmas lights and see what mischief is about. As well as the stars and red scrap, I've used white snippets for all the branches and part of a shiny green envelope. That is why we save them...
