Challenge #56 Digi Stamps 4 Joy Midway Inspiration.

Good morning everyone!

I hope the start of your week has gone well so far. Thank you all for your lovely comments in my previous posts. Very much appreciated!  Id also like to welcome my new followers.  Thank you so much for your time in following my blog.

Ok now this is my first DT post for Digi Stamps 4 Joy. You can find the link to the challenge and blog here: DigiStamps 4 Joy Blog

Now the theme for this challenge is "Baby it's cold outside" but with a recipe of : 1 Image, 2 patterned papers and 3 snowflakes. You can interpret from the theme what you feel the title is but please make sure you follow the recipe.

We also have a Guest Designer for our midway inspiration , please hop over to the blog and see her stunning creation.

The image I chose for my card for this theme is called "Mr Snowman" and you can find this adorable image here: Snowman Digi Stamp from Digi Stamps 4 Joy Shop

You can also have a look at the store which has many affordable Digi Stamps and more and if your lucky you might just catch a freebie. The owner Margaret gives out a Freebie every Friday but you have to be quick as they are only up for a few days.
Click on the link to take you to the store: Digi Stamps 4 Joy Shop

Plus every Sunday there are new releases out which will always be featured on the blog.

I used a different and unique card for this challenge, one I've never seen before. You can find the tutorial here: Box Card Tutorial

The materials I used for this card:

Patterned paper from a HunkyDory Kit, there is another patterned paper inside behind the snowman

Snowman Digi Stamp from Digit Stamps 4 Joy Store
Blue spotted ribbon from my stash
Die cuts (three snowflakes) from spellbinders die and Scroll from Joy Die
Patterned Borders from a kit which were already die cut
Glitter glue and Ribbon die cut Buds from my stash
The small flower at the front is from a Joy die which cuts three die cuts which you then arrange together to create the flower
