Light as a Snowflake

Posted on August 3, 2024 9:09 PM by Julie Comment

Today, I have a clean and simple card for Christmas or any winter holiday. All you need is some pretty paper, a couple of big die cut snowflakes, a tiny snowflake border and a greeting. These are easy to make assembly line style and easy to change up the colors and paper. Also, completely mailable without needing extra postage.

A big congrats to Ann, the newest Featured Stamper (FS913)! She has a wonderful gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the layout & Christmas theme, but I used different images, dies, papers & added a big snowflake & tiny snowflake border detail instead of the embossed front.

For my card, I die cut the greeting oval & teal oval layers & stamped part of the greeting. I couldn’t fit all of it, so I left off the last 2 lines. I cut the large pale heathered green layer & used just the inset of the snowflake border down the right side. The pretty Christmas paper was cut along w/ a larger teal layer using a couple of rectangle dies. After cutting them, I moved the dies inward to narrow the panels. Two large snowflakes were die cut using the pale green heather & teal paper. I added cardboard behind them to pop them up & add a little dimension.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

A monochromatic Christmas card using all kraft with a white embossed greeting and falling snow and white highlights for the snow on the tiny village.
x5! x2!

A big congrats to the newest Featured Stamper, DragonLady64! She has a wonderful gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the colors & layout, but used different dies, made mine a little village & added a white embossed greeting.

For my card, I die cut all the trees & village out of kraft then added white behind the houses & church. I used a white gel pen to add the snow on the trees & sponged white ink on the house & hills. The background was white embossed w/ little dots for the falling snow & I elevated the hills & houses a bit for dimension. It looked like such a peaceful scene, I thought the greeting was perfect.

The white frame is part of the polaroid die. I put it in the die cutter, cut half way, the turned the die around, matching the opening, and die cut the rest of the way.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

A white & teal snowy Christmas card. So easy to make w/ just a few dies, a little white splatter for snow & a simple greeting. Change the colors & make a stack of them for Christmas.

It’s my turn to host the Featured Stamper Challenge (FS863), so a big congrats to Sue! She has a gorgeous gallery & after much browsing, I chose THIS card to case. I kept the color combo, but I used different dies, different stamps & used a die cut bg instead of a stamped one.

My card started w/ a paver cover die I cut once out of white & again out of turquoise then attached them offset. I added another layer behind out of heavy card in order to have it stand up a bit off the card front. I die cut the white trees & 2 teal layers. On the top one, I spritzed it w/ a white shimmer spray, then spattered it w/ a white Posca pen to get the various bright white dots. I also used it to add a narrow white edge to the layer before attaching it to the solid teal layer. The 5 trees were attached across the bottom w/ the single tree popped up on top.

I had a narrow strip of white where I stamped the greeting, then took the flag end of a tag die & cut both ends of the strip. This is also popped up a bit on top of the teal panel.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
