Use string or twine.
Thanks for the heads up Ardyth!
Good morning! Hope you had a great weekend. We had two of our granddaughters for the weekend. They are just too much fun. They didn’t want to go home. They asked their parents if they could live here. I think is safe to say they had a great time as well.
I had these snowshoes completed and siting on my desk and today they found a home on this card. This weeks make it monday we were asked to inlay dies. I love inlaying dies. Theses also have a back on them and were kinda thick , this was the perfect solution.
Everything is from papertrey Ink
I was going to post the three cards I made but decided to do the other two in a bit, one didn't make its deadline.
Thanks !
Oh, I love this card, Marybeth! I have yet to use that stamp set...what is taking me so long? You keep making fabulous cards with it! And I love the cuttlebug background folder...
ReplyDeletewow- your stiching on those snowshoes is amazing. Beautiful card.
ReplyDeleteExquisite! Marveling at each detail here. Your stamping is perfection, the beautiful stitching, the placement of the snowshoes... well done, lady! PS, they look like real wood!
ReplyDeleteGORGEOUS!!!! I wanted this set and now I want both even MORE! Such a wonderful design, Marybeth!! Love the snowy background and the laced snowshoes!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! I too didn't think I needed this set, but I think I need to reconsider now! Every little detail on those snowshoes is just perfect! :0)
ReplyDeleteMarybeth now that I have thisi set I want to CASE your card! I am so intimidatd by the lacing but it just looks so fantastic! Gorgeous card and I am so glad you had a fun weekend with your granddaughters!
ReplyDeleteYour cards are always so beautiful. I was going to get this set and then didn't. May have to re-think that.
ReplyDeleteFAB! I thought these were for LIM's twine challenge - great texture and detail!
ReplyDeleteLOVE this! Just so beautiful. This technique lends itself to sewing for sure. Your lacing is perfect!
ReplyDeleteHoly Yeti, Marybeth, you really did get up at dark o'clock and get creative! I thought these snowshoes were a store-bought embellishment! My mouth is hanging open that you MADE them! You HAVE to link this card with the Less Is More challenge. It is such a winning card in every way!! Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteWow, Marybeth, the work on those snowshoes is stunning. They look right at home inlaid in the falling snow background.
ReplyDeleteThis is stunning! I love all the details on the snow shoes:)
ReplyDeleteStunning card! Love the inlaid snowshoes!
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful Marybeth! The snowshoes are so detailed and work perfectly as an inlay - love the embossing folder too!
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely stunning Marybeth...what fabulous dies,
ReplyDeleteThanks so much

Less is More
Oh my, Marybeth, your snowshoes look so real in this fabulous card. Love all the detail with the holly & berries and embossed snow background. Lovely!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. Love the snow texture!!
ReplyDeleteWow! We are all so fortunate you had these snow shoes just waiting for a card. What a delightful card. I almost didn't make one this morning, but the challenge was too good to pass up. The lace on those shoes is super.
ReplyDeleteOh, I will be making one of these for sure! Those snow shoes look so incredibly realistic (at least I think so, I live in San Diego, so I have never really seen them in real life).
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this one Marybeth...going to get it pinned. I love the stitching you did and I always love when you use that snowfall embossing folder.
ReplyDeleteLOVE THIS CARD!!! Awesome job Marybeth ;)
ReplyDeleteOne word ... GENIUS !!
ReplyDeleteAMAZING, Marybeth! LOVE the snowshoes!! The color is so realistic and the lacing is awesome.
ReplyDeleteIt hasn't snowed yet over here in the Netherlands!
ReplyDeleteLove your card, and the little branch with berries is such a cute finishing touch.
Great technique and the sentiment is FAB, love it.
Bye,
Marjolein
The best use of this technique. What could be better than snow shoes sunk ever-so lightly into the snow?! And ,of course, it's beautiful.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteAnd now you're really making me want this set...
love those snowshoes! :)
Wow. A work of art. Love how it looks like someone just stepped out of the snowshoes. Do you have a name for that embossing folder. I love the randomness of the dots.
ReplyDeleteThe snowshoes are stunning Marybeth.Love all the details.
ReplyDeleteThis is a brilliant card, such an inspired use of twine.

Awesome card!! Love the snowshoes and all your wonderful details!
ReplyDeleteLOVE those snowshoes and that your granddaughters wanted to live with you! I would, too!
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous! I love the snowshoes! The extra work that you did with the floss sure makes it pop. I did not get this one and maybe I should have.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card in every respect. Love the background texture, color choices, stitched accents. Just perfect!
ReplyDeleteLike an earlier poster, I'd love to know which embossing folder this is. Can't seem to find it on the cuttlebug sources I've checked. Hope you win the challenge. You'd have my vote!!
ReplyDeleteOh Myyy, Marybeth ~ what a wonderful card! Those laced up snow shoes are amaZING! AND the 'snowy' embossing folder is perfect for winder cards~my next purchase for sure ;-)
ReplyDeletePeege I cannot find this folder anymore either , I tried to look for it! The only thing that came close was one by Sizzix called Falling Snow and I think it comes in a two pack. Hope that helps!
ReplyDeleteThanks Marybeth. I'll look into the one from Sizzix. Too bad cuttlebug discontinued. It's perfect for snow and as a Minnesotan I would know!
ReplyDeleteAlso found an embossing folder from Darcie called animal tracks that might work.
ReplyDeleteSpeechless...one of the most amazing cards I've ever seen. Your stitching is incredible. I'm so glad you had such a great weekend. I love that your granddaughters asked to live with you. :)
ReplyDeleteAwesome card Marybeth! Love all the added detail...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card Marybeth! Love the lacing on the snowshoes.
