Actually there is only ONE snowflake on my card, but it’s a perfect morning for this post since we got another 4 inches of snow overnight with more promised during the day. I’m much more in the mood for flowers and sunshine, but Addicted to CAS has “Snowflake” as the challenge and Perfectly CAS wants “Metallic.” Since one of my intentions for 2022 is to get Christmas cards made in advance, I was happy to oblige.
I started with a clear picture in my mind for the card design, and once I found a new pack of Paper Source Royal cardstock and a sheet of Tonic Mirror Holo Waves the card came together pretty quickly.
Both the snowflake die cut (Simon Says “Kate”) and the sentiment (Simon Says “Holiday Greetings: Mix 1) are old favorites.
The Royal blue paper is new to me, and although the Mirror Holo Wave has been in my stash for quite some time, I’ve never used it before either. You can get a bit of the metallic glow from the photos, but it’s much better in person.
I do have hopes of die cutting some florals before the weekend is over, but there’s a long list of non-crafty tasks that need to be done as well. Hope your safe and warm wherever you are!
Gorgeous CAS!
I like the royal blue base of the card & I can just see a glimmer of that Mirror Holo Wave paper. You are off to an excellent start for the 2022 Christmas Cards. This would be a card to make several at one time.
I groaned this morning when I woke to see more snow on the ground & still falling – thankfully it did not last too long.
This design looks like a Karen Walker creation! It is and so elegant in royal blue! I’ve enjoyed using holographic paper for die cut sentiments but snowflakes may be the best use yet!
WOW … just beautiful! Love the royal blue base card … really POPS! Thanks so much for joining in the fun at our Perfectly CAS challenge! Good Luck and we hope you’ll come back often.
