Sparkling Snowflakes Let It Snow Card

Friends, today I'm sharing another card in my Sparkling Snowflakes series. Each card uses the stamp set, tag topper punch, or both. This card uses NO die cutting! 

Missed the previous cards? No problem! Find them here:

Here's today's card:


To make this card, I started by cutting three 1 1/2" squares from Basic White Cardstock. Using the Sparkling Snowflakes Stamp Set, I stamped onto them:

  • a snowflake in Moody Mauve Ink
  • the same snowflake in Lost Lagoon Ink
  • "let it snow" in Moody Mauve Ink
I then adhered each square to its own 1 5/8" square made from Lost Lagoon Cardstock. I also embellished each square with Faceted Gems Trio Pack:


To assemble, I attached a 3 3/4" x 5 1/2" panel of Winter Meadow DSP to a 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" Basic White Thick Cardstock card base. 

I then adhered a 2 3/4" x 5 1/2" panel of the same DSP (in a different pattern) to a 3 1/4" x 5 1/2" Moody Mauve Cardstock panel. 

I also wrapped a length of 2023-2025 In Color™ Jute Trim (Moody Mauve) around the front of the panels, securing on the back with Mini Glue Dots™. I fed a doubled piece of the trim through the adhered piece, tied once, and trimmed. Here's a look at the trim, which comes in a pack of 5 colours:


To finish the card, I used Stampin' Dimensionals™ to add the panels to the card base and the squares to the card.

Winter Meadow Sparkling Snowflakes Punch Card

Friends, it's time to have some fun with another This or That!

Which card do you prefer?

This -


Or That?


Click here for instructions for the green & gold card at the top ("This").

To make the card with the berries ("That"), I started by die-cutting a medium-sized circle from Moody Mauve Cardstock, and a label from Basic White Cardstock, using the Stylish Shapes Dies. Then I stamped my sentiment onto the label in Shaded Spruce Ink, using the Sparkling Snowflakes Stamp Set.

Next, I used the Sparkling Snowflakes Tag Topper Punch, pictured here:



To use this punch, I cut a strip of paper 1 15/16" wide. The length can be whatever you like, depending on the size of tag you need. For my card, I cut a strip 4 1/2" long, inserted it into the punch, and pressed firmly to punch out the shape with its ornate snowflake topper.

I love how this punch can be used to make tags for holiday gifts, as well as to add accents to cards!

The tag I created was made from Berry Burst, Old Olive & White Glimmer Specialty Paper (in White). Here's a look at this glittery paper, which comes in colours perfect for the holidays:


To assemble, I started by using my Bone Folder to crease a 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" Lost Lagoon Cardstock card base.

Then I added a 4" x 5 1/4" panel of the beautiful Winter Meadow DSP to the card front. It's in the current Annual Catalogue, which luckily means it's available year-round! Here's a look at the lovely patterns:



With Stampin' Dimensionals, I layered on my tag, circle, and stamped label. I added a bow made from Pretty Peacock & Gold 3/8" Metallic Ribbon and embellished with Faceted Gems Trio Pack.

Home for the Holidays Sparkling Snowflakes Punch Card

Friends, today I'm sharing a card made with a versatile and easy-to-use punch.

The Sparkling Snowflakes Tag Topper Punch can make both tags and card cut-outs, so it gives you more for your money! I'll show the punch and explain how to use it below.

This card is also the 3rd in my FREE Christmas in July Class. Receive my FREE class by mail when you place a product order with me in July! (Min. order $60 before tax/shipping.) 

But first, here's the card:


To make this card, I started by die-cutting a medium-sized circle from a card base in the Brushed Gold Cards & Envelopes, and a large label from Basic White Cardstock, using the Stylish Shapes Dies. Then I stamped my sentiment onto the label in Garden Green Ink, using the stamp set from the Home for the Holidays Past Paper Pumpkin Kit. It's my favourite Pumpkin Kit!

The tag I created was made from Berry Burst, Old Olive & White Glimmer Specialty Paper (in Old Olive). Here's a look at this glittery paper, which comes in colours perfect for the holidays:


To assemble, I started by adhering a 3 3/4" x 5" Basic White Cardstock writing panel inside a 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" Garden Green Cardstock card base. 

Then I added a 4" x 5 1/4" panel of the new Season of Green & Gold Specialty DSP, which just came out this month, to the front of the card. I love the gold foil accents!
