Happy Holidays Snowflake card

WOW!  Is it the middle of November already? Where did the year go?  I barely got out a few Halloween cards before I started on my Christmas cards.  This year has been so fast!

Today's card has a snowflake theme.

 Materials:
  • Dark Blue suede paper
  • Gold Line Dazzles (Hot off the Press)
  • Snowflake die by Frantic Stamper
  • Happy Holidays Die by Frantic stamper
  • Blue holographic snowflake card by Hot off the Press


The snowflake die by Frantic Stamper is an interesting one.  Its inverted which means that it will cut out the design within the card front.  It won't cut out a separate die cut. 

I made an A2 size card (4 1/4 x 5 1/2 inches) and placed my die on the inside with the cut blades facing p.  This cut the design into my card front.

I backed my card front with dark blue suede paper. This would have also looked good with red glitter paper.  I used the die again on some blue holographic paper and cut out one of the snowflakes and layered it onto my card.  I added a light blue jewel to the center.  I also cut out a Happy Holidays from silver foil card and used mounting tape to add it to the lower right.


All the little gold accents you see on my snowflakes came from the extra bits and pieces from my stickers.  You know - that extra stuff that is left after you use the sticker?

Here is a side view of my card.


Thanks for stopping by.
