We woke up to 3° this morning, and another inch or two of snow. Snow must be on the mind of the challenge creators this week.
I needed a thank you card, and when I finished it I do believe it qualifies for six separate challenges:
I started with my favorite sketch challenge: CAS(E) this Sketch.
It’s definitely Clean and Simple and there are snowflakes.
I love CAS-UAL Fridays challenge site, and here’s the snowy reference.
And then there are the two Simon Says Challenges. Wednesday’s is “Let It Snow,” and Monday’s is “Use a Stamp.”
I pulled out my shimmer card stock for this one: both blue and white, so the colors and snowflake also match the inspiration piece for the Case Study challenge.
Finally, here’s the card.
In the detail photo at the top of the post, you can see the beautiful textured silver paper I picked up yesterday at Michael’s. I wish I’d bought more than one sheet. I stamped the snowflakes from Wplus9’s Folk Art Flurries and embossed them with Winter Wonderand embossing powder. The die cut “Thanks” is from Simon Says.
Hope it’s a bit warmer where you are. I’m off to have a cup of soup, and get busy baking cookies!
Love those snowflakes and the texture!
Thanks for studying with us at CASE Study! 🙂
Gorgeous card and perfectly meets all those challenge requirements. Next time you are playing with your dies, don’t forget to take photos of your storage solution for me! 🙂
What Lovely card Karen! The colors and the snowflakes so perfect!
OMG that close up with the glitter and embossing made my mouth water! Gorgeous!
Hi Karen! So elegant – the embossing and glitter! WOW!
Beautiful card, Karen, and I hope you are enjoying baking as I type. It is quite a bit warmer where I am, and the sun is shining brightly.
Wow! What a gorgeous card!! So elegant!! Love it!

Wonderful texture! Your snowflakes are divine! Thanks so much for playing along at ATCAS xx
Beautiful card, love it all.
Yes, it really is quite a bit warmer here! No sign of snow at all.
It’s a beautiful card – I love that blue and silver combination.
Karen your cards are so beautiful. You should really make a collection and sell them. They are always so clean and elegant. It is just rainy and windy here in the UK. I wish we had some pretty snow!
Lovely card,Karen.
I’m thankful that our weather is still quite mild for the time of year.
Yes rainy and windy and pretty miserable here in my corner of the UK. Your cards are just beautiful, so elegant and I love the blue & silver.
Very pretty! I love the shimmer. Thanks so much for playing along with us over at CAS-ual Fridays!
Lovely card – the temperatures have been in the 60s here this week, but another cold front is coming along this weekend (hopefully no more ice & snow though!).
This is so pretty, Karen! I love the color combo, too.
Lovley card. Thanks for playing along with us in the CAS(E) this sketch! challenge and hope to see you again.
What a stunning little card! I love how you pulled in the silver tones and it looks especially elegant with the “thanks” sentiment. The whole color palette is refreshing and classy. This is a beautiful card all the way around and I’m so glad you shared it with us here at the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge blog!
This is just beautiful Karen! Been thinking about snow in upstate New York a lot lately.
