Snowflake Christmas Cards

Hi, Connie Nichol here today with a couple of simple Christmas cards featuring the Noel Snowflake card digital cut file available in the Silhouette Design Store here.  I didn't end up using the 'Noel' part of this cut file, but the card base with the cut out snowflakes is the perfect beginning for many different Christmas cards.  You can add any die cut word or stamped sentiment and here's a couple of examples.  You might have noticed that I'm still on a white and gold kick.  There is something just SO elegant about gold on any project.

Here's what the cut file looks like - not the best photo of a computer screen, but you can see the card base with the itty bitty snowflakes, as well as the ovals and the word Noel.

I found that cutting the card base out of a solid colour of cardstock worked best to show off the cut out snowflakes.

I added a gold border to the Merry Christmas card by rubbing embossing ink along the card edges (use a scrap piece of cardstock as a mask to keep a sharp edge), sprinkling with embossing powder and heating.

Quietfire Design has a number of dies and stamped quotes that fit perfectly into the cut oval frame of the cut file.  The small Merry Christmas and To Appreciate the Beauty of a Snowflake stamps are the two that I reached for.  Thanks for stopping by, Connie

Snowflake Monogram Font - To Appreciate The Beauty

Yogi here today and I had an urge to create this snowflake card. Love this OTF font from Suzanne

I'm using a couple of the newest stamp sets from Quietfire Design  ("To Appreciate The Beauty..." 3pce set); ("Let It Snow..." 6pce set)

And am using a couple of Suzanne's electronic files available on Silhouette onLine store. Click images to purchase. 

 

Scored, and folded my white cardstock to create my easel structure (7"w x 5"h). Cut another piece same size as front. Also cut a piece from a deep blue thin cardstock.

Typed the letters - S N O W, one letter at a time using the "Snowflake Monogram.otf" font from Suzanne. Overlapped the snowflakes to make sure everything was touching something else. Selected everything and increased the size to 6.7" x 2.26". Cut from white cardstock. Inked with Distress Picket Fence and embossed with Emerald Creek "Soft Fallen Snow" - love that texture... Adhered to the blue thin cardstock.

Stamped the "let It" using the Picket Fence and embossing with Ranger "White" embossing powder. Adhered the blue cardstock to the white and then onto the card front.

Selected one of the snowflakes from the "Let It Snow Flip card" electronic file and cut from white cardstock 3 times. Inked with the Picket Fence and embossed with the Fallen Snow. Adhered to card front. Added large mid toned blue rhinestones to each center. Also adhered mini of the blue rhinestones adding a dot of Glossy Accents to hold them in place.

On the floor: On another piece of blue cardstock and using my Tim's Stampin Platform, stamped the quote using Versafine "Blue Lagoon" and clear embossed. Offset my cardstock by about 1mm, both from the bottom edge and the left side edge and re-stamped using the Picket Fence and embossing with the White embossing powder. to the floor.

Stamped the snowflake borders with the Picket Fence and embossed with the Fallen Snow.

Drew the outline of the Snow word onto white cardstock. Cut with scissors, inked with the Picket Fence - masking off the rest of the cardstock, and embossed with the Fallen Snow. Scored the length, trimmed off the excess cardstock to about 1/2" and adhered to floor to act as my stopper.
