Inspired Stamps Snowflake Card

Hello and welcome here! This week the Inspired Stamps DT is sharing their Christmas projects with you for inspiration! It's hard to believe Christmas is ALMOST here:) This card actually came together quite quickly, I had lots of ideas how to decorate it (Flower Soft, Glitter, Rhinestones etc.), but ended up going with a clean and simple look.

Card Size: 5" x 5"


I started with a 5" x 5" piece of white CS and embossed the snowflake in the cente...it's difficult to see it in the photo above, I tried lowering the brightness in the photo below so that you could see it better. I also cut out and embossed the snowflake that goes on top.

Then I used Martha Stewart's corner and border punches to make the frame, and finished off the look by scoring lines near the edge with my Scor-It. When I attached it to the blue CS, I lifted the edges a bit to give it some dimension...you may have to click on the photo for a closer look.

I stamped the Inspired Stamps sentiment, which fit perfectly inside the circle of the snowflake, and attached it to the card with foam squares. And voila, it's done! I added a few blue pearls too.

I finished off the inside of my card with a snowman, which I coloured with pencil crayons to give it a softer look, and a sentiment.
