Cuttlebug Spot - Invitations

This week at the Cuttlebug Spot, the theme of our challenge is:

'Thanksgiving Dinner Invites'

As we don't celebrate Thanksgiving here in the UK, I've made my invitations for a Christmas dinner & drinks party. I've gone for a snowflake theme...mainly as an excuse to use my absolute favourite embossing folder...'Snowflakes'! I used the largest of my  large scalloped circle Nesitess to cut the cards, then added an embossed panel in duck egg blue which I'd edges with Glamour Dust. I cut some snowflakes using my Cuttlebug 'Ice Crystal' and 'Snowflakes' dies, then coated them in Glamour Dust too, before attaching them to the invites. I printed the invitation part on ordinary copier paper, then cut them out using Nesties, before attaching them to the insides...I've opened one of the invites up in the photo below so you can see:


Here's a close-up of one of the invitations, so you can see all the sparkle:
