Glittery Snowflakes

Over the last couple of days I finished most of the Christmas cards I needed using the Gina K kit, “Sparkle and Shine.” I only have two of her kits but they are crammed with great products, and there are still quite a few stamps I haven’t used yet. Today I pulled out  the “Snowflake Trio” dies to create a card for two challenges: AAA Cards: Along the Edge/Optional Snowflakes and CAS on Friday: Snow.

I found a piece of beautiful silver glitter paper in my stash by American Crafts for the three snowflakes. I think it was purchased at Michaels. After arranging them on a piece of Enchanted Evening paper I trimmed off the excess along the left side. I tried the snowflakes on white paper as well, but they just popped when I put them on the blue paper, so once again, my “white space” is actually blue space. 

I added silver glitter enamel dots to the centers of the snowflakes and embossed the sentiment from Avery Elle’s “Winter Wreath” in silver.

Finally I layered it on a piece silver cardstock from the Paper Source before attaching it to a white card base. 

Next on the agenda is getting all the inside sentiments done on the Christmas cards. About half are finished, and I still have a few more cards I want to make. The stamps are in a little pile on my desk, patiently awaiting their turn. If I’m lucky I’ll have a few made ahead for next year!
