    I love this new die, so much that mine is on order. Your card used this die perfectly, I wanted to be able to shake the card to hear the shake,shake,shake sound as I looked at it. So much fun in card form (and you used lavender) which always makes my purple & shades heart happy. Well done Cathy Z

    Your card is amazing!

    When I saw this die, I thought: “Hm, I do not need this, I have some snowflakes in my stash.”
    But after I saw your card I felt in love with it and now I need this die! 😀 So I am going to create my next order at SSS (I have on my way two more order 😀 I am addicted :-D)
