There
are a lot of different snowflake dies in the catalog this year. I think I'll cut a whole bunch of these and put on my Christmas tree, I'm thinking silver glimmer paper!
Here's a snowflake card:
This
card uses the new embossing folder Winter Wonder, that is part of the Year of
Cheer set. For this card, I used the new
champagne foil (somewhere between silver and copper). I cut it 3 ¼ x 4 /2 and ran it through the
big shot (at a bit of an angle).
I cut
the designer paper 4 x 5 ¼, and punched out some snowflakes, many of your
punches will work – the 1”, 1 3/8, or even the starburst punch.
I
added a strip of the metallic washi tape on the bottom then layered up the
card. I cut the silver edge ribbon about
5” and with scotch tape I secured it to the back, and then cut a 4” piece and
tied a knot (so a “faux bow”), which I secured with a glue dot. I
didn’t put a greeting on the outside of the card. I think I’ll add a Christmas greeting
inside.
I
like to cut 3 or 4 identical snowflakes (I’m using the Colorful Seasons
snowflakes) in silver or gold glimmer (foil also works well). I fold them in half and then attach them
together, insert metallic thread or the new thin real red ribbon into the
center.
Or I
cut 2 identical and put them back to back for a flat snowflake.
These
are also great table décor, either by themselves or on the front of a candy bar
holder. Great for
any party – so easy to adapt to the season.
Tomorrow
is the last of the 12 Christmas projects!!
