Handmade Snowflake Card
Hello Everyone – wait until you see my handmade snowflake card I am sharing today!
I am a lover of snowflakes. I love making snowflake cards as they remind me of standing outside in a snow storm and watching them fall. Now that I am older I still like to watch them fall but now I do it from the inside of the house. When I saw the snowflake pattern paper in the free Penguin Playmates collection I knew I had to pair it with Snowflake Wishes to make this clean and simple card.
The simple snowflakes on this paper were perfect to add the iridescent snowflakes in the July – December catalog. All I had to do then was to put the layers together to make the card. I chose to use black as a highlight color so that it makes the other color pop. In keeping with the black and white I used the Black & White gingham ribbon. This ribbon is one of my all time favorite and it is so cute on this card.
In keeping with the focus on the snowflake paper, I used a simple sentiment and fussy cut around it. To help you in creating your version of the handmade snowflake card, here are the measurements from my card.
