Snowflakes & Snowman

I'm so creative with my titles, aren't I? Lol. I never claimed to be a skilled writer. Smiley from millan.net

I've made my wintry cards with Soft Sky card stock, and Lizzie Anne Designs Snowflake single, Christmas In the City, and Glad Tidings sets. I used red accents, as I think the light shades of blue look so pretty with the pop of red. The sentiments are embossed, and I used SU punches, and hardware for them. The ribbon is from A Muse, and the bling brads from SU. These may be simple, but I am still fond of them. I hope the receivers will be as well!


Stamps: Snowflake, Christmas In The City, Glad Tidings
Card Stock: Soft Sky, Real Red, White
Ink: Whisper White Craft, Soft Sky, VersaMark, Memento Tuxedo Black, Copic markers, Clear Spica glitter pen, Inkssentials Opaque pen
Accessories: Styled Silver & Pewter HodgePodge Hardware (SU), Large Oval punch, Designer Label punch, Red embossing powder, A Muse sheer ribbon, Fire Circle brads, Tombo Multi glue, Stampin' Dimensionals


Thanks for stopping by today!!

These are both so beautiful, Rose Ann! I love the peaceful feel of the first (and how you tied your ribbon around the hardware - clever!) and the 2nd one is just as beautiful. Hugs, Jackie

I love them, Rose Ann! Some of my favorite cards I made this year were the simplest ones. I think our time is so packed full of activities during the Christmas season that it feels restful, not only to make cards like this, but to view them, too.
