Begin with a 4 1/4 x 11 piece of Whisper White Thick Cardstock.  Score and fold at 5 1/2.

Use a Bone Folder to distress the edges of a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 piece of Snowflake Splendor Designer Series Paper.  Adhere to the card with Stampin’ Seal.

Use a Paper Trimmer to cut a piece of Shimmery White Cardstock to 4 x 4 1/4. Cut at an angle to create a 2 1/4 wide piece. 

Stamp the snowflakes in Versamark Ink.  Cover with White Stampin’ Emboss Powder.  Tap to remove any excess then set with a Heat Tool. 

Use a Sponge Dauber or Stamping Sponge to add Night of Navy Classic Ink.  Remove the ink from the embossed snowflakes with a Paper Towel. 

Use an Aqua Painter or brush to flick specks of water onto Night of Navy Ink.  Let sit for 1 min, then dab with a Paper Towel. 

Staple a loop of Snowflake Splendor 1/4″ Ribbon as shown. 

Distress the edges with a Bone Folder.  Adhere to the card with Stampin’ Seal. 

Use a Stamparatus to stamp the sentiment first in Night of Navy Ink, then again in Versamark Ink.  Cover with Clear Stampin’ Emboss Powder, tap to remove the excess and set with a Heat Tool. 

Snip closely with Paper Snips.  Adhere with Stampin’ Dimensionals. 

Use a Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine and So Many Snowflakes Dies to crop three snowflakes from a piece of Snowflake Splendor Designer Series Paper.  Adhere as shown with Mini Glue Dots. 

Embellish with Blue Adhesive-Backed Gems & Snowflake Adhesive-Backed Embellishments. 

Did you know that multiple dies from the So Many Snowflake Die Set perfectly crop images from the Snowflake Splendor Designers Series Paper?  The snowflakes adorning on my 3-1/8 x 3-1/8″ Acetate Card Box were quickly cropped from the DSP. 

I also discovered that the 3-1/8 x 3-1/8″ Acetate Card Boxes are a perfect gift box for our Stampin’ Seal and Stampin’ Seal+ refills! 

I love that you can stamp a sentiment, then snip it apart to piece it as needed on your project!   It doesn’t have to be perfect!  Handmade creations are fabulous with a few flaws, at least I think so! 

This 3×3 card also fits snuggly into the 3-1/8 x 3-1/8 Acetate Card Boxes.
