Grande Snowflake Christmas Cardmaking Tutorial

Hello Crafters,

Our inspiring and creative Design Team member, Glynis is back again with another breath-taking wintry make! This one here contains a flurry of snowflakes and the sentiment on it means it's suitable for more than just a Christmas card. In fact, this design would look stunning made into a gift box or even a framed picture to keep and admire for years to come.

Glynis has used a variety of snowflake-based products for this creation and we adore the results, so much so that we HAD to share it with you so that you can recreate it for yourself.

Read on for a full step-by-step project tutorial.

Snowflake Frames nesting die set

INSTRUCTIONS:

1 Trim a sheet of blue mirror card and attach to the base card. Using a sheet of patterned paper from the Frosty Christmas paper pad cut to size, matt and layer onto Crystal White pearl card. Add Diamante Sparkle Sparkelicious glitter to the edges of the white cardstock and attach to the main card with foam pads.

2 Using the Snowflake Frame die set, cut numbers one and two in Crystal White pearl card and add Crystal Crush Sparkelicious glitter around the edges. Matt and layer onto the largest Snowflake Frame a piece of blue mirror card and patterned paper from the Frosty Christmas Paper Pad, then attach to the base card with foam pads for added dimension.

3 Using the Snowflake Circle die set, place the fifth die in the set into the middle of a piece of patterned paper from the Frosty Christmas paper pad. Die-cut and put to once side for later. Using the leftover piece, trim this down to fit on top of the smaller Snowflake Frame die-cut piece. Stamp and heat-emboss around the sides using a snowflake stamp from the Grande Snowflake stamp and die set and WOW Bright White embossing powder. Attach to the Snowflake Frame die-cut shape and secure onto the base card with foam pads. For the top layer, die-cut the fourth die from the Snowflake Circle die set in Crystal White pearl card, add Diamante Sparkle Sparkelicious glitter to the edges, then attach the previously cut circle on top and secure onto the base card with foam pads.

4 Stamp, heat-emboss and die-cut twice the two largest snowflakes from the Grande Snowflake stamp and die set onto blue mirror card using WOW Bright White embossing powder. Adhere together using Pinflair glue and secure onto the main card. Decorate the Grande Snowflake and the large Snowflake Frame with pearls from the Frosty Christmas Bling Box. Attach the jewels from the Bling Box to the stamped snowflakes.

5 Stamp and heat-emboss your sentiment on to Crystal White pearl card using WOW Metallic Silver embossing powder. Matt and layer onto blue mirror card and attach with foam pads. Finally, dot the Art Glitter glue around the Grande Snowflake and cover with Diamante Sparkle Sparkelicious glitter.
