Made this Snowflake Tag using a Cricut cartridge, Christmas Cheer.
Used one of the snowflakes cut out of Tag on Hot Choc mug.
Definitely not a day here in Central Tx for hot chocolate. We have had temps in 70s - 80s past couple days. Hoping the Groundhog does not predict more days of Winter even thought I'm not fond of the hot temps so soon.

First time using a Simon Says Stamp stamp/die set to make this Dog theme birthday card. Used sketch which you can see below.
Was having trouble with die cutting the stamped balloon. The die is see-thru/open at the top where the balloon is but is not see-thru/open where the string is. When I would stamp and then die cut the image was not cut to my satisfaction so I die cut an image from one piece of caardstock, put my other piece of cardstock that I was going to stamp on in my MISTI, put the cut out image cardstock on top of other piece of cardstock, put my magnets to keep the cardstock ffrom moving, lined up my stamp by placing it into the cut out area, closed MISTI to get stamp on the MISTI glass, inked the stamp, stamped the balloon while leaving both pieces of cardstock in place, lined up the 'Happy Birthday' stamp to be on the balloon, stamped the 'Happy Birthday', then took the 2 pieces of cardstock to line up the balloon die into the cut out area and die cut using my Sizzix BIGkick. The result was a good looking balloon that is stamped & die cut.
