Make most of the dies

Hello crafters, 
Today is my debut at the Allsorts challenge blog! 
I have entered their challenges many times over the years, made the Top 5 and won prizes on several occasions and now as the stars aligned I am joining the Design Team!

The theme this fortnight is Use Dies (or Anything Goes) chosen by Sarah.

My card is based on a fancy shape and I have used the instructions from Sam's blog
 



Supplies:
Baubles: stamps and dies set Studio Light Essentials (BASICSDC17)
Snowman: Sizzix/Tim Holtz Winter Wishes set (666717)
Centre Snowflake halves: Cards & Crafts for Christmas 2019 
Snowflake border: Die-cutting Essential Issue 58
Leaves and holly from Sizzix Christmas Shadow box set (663611)
Papers from magazine.

First the pop up card is prepared by scoring and cutting following the template. 
Then it's a matter of cutting the paper to fit each panel, of course you can choose to leave some blank to save some time or to keep it more "clean".

This is my first card with that shape and, as it is rather time consuming, not one I would do often but for Christmas, to stand out from the crowd it's perfect

Side and top views:


Hop on to Allsorts and upload your make for the chance to win 3 prizes of Oakwood dies and coordinating stamps. You can enter up to 5 times and worthy entries will earn a place in the Top 7.



Thanks for coming by,
 Craftyfield       I am entering the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Polkadoodles                                                                and Simon Says Stamp Monday challenges
