PLATINUM SNOWFLAKE

Do you love snowflakes? I do! I have so many stamp sets and dies that  feature snowflakes! 

 

For the beautiful snowflake in this card, I embossed it with Platinum Embossing Powder. To reinforce the snowflake theme, I used a snowflake embossing folder for the background.

The words were die cut from platinum-colored metallic cardstock I had in my stash.

I love the little square of Specialty Designer Series Paper behind the snowflake piece that I bought on the Clearance Rack awhile ago. Isn't it perfect?

Set at an angle, you can see all the shimmer and elegance.

SUPPLIES:

White cardstock

Misty Moonlight cardstock

Platinum/White Specialty Designer Series Paper

Platinum Foiled cardstock

Best of Snow (an ANCIENT stamp set, but I love the snowflake!)

VersaMark Ink

Die Cutting/Embossing Machine

Merry Christmas die

Embossing Buddy

Heat Tool

Platinum Embossing Powder

Stampin' Dimensionals

Opal Rounds

DIRECTIONS:

Fold a 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" piece of white cardstock in half, creasing it well with a bone folder.

Cut a 4" x 5 1/4" piece of Misty Moonlight cardstock. Emboss this with a snowflake embossing folder. Adhere it to the card base.

Cut a 2 1/4" square of white cardstock. Rub an Embossing Buddy over the piece. Stamp the snowflake in VersaMark ink in the center. Add Platinum Embossing Powder to the stamped snowflake and use the Heat Tool to emboss it.

Cut a 2 1/2" square of platinum and white Specialty Designer Series Paper. Adhere the embossed snowflake to this.

Use Stampin' Dimensionals to add the completed square to the embossed piece, with even margins at the top and the sides.

From platinum-colored foiled cardstock, die cut the sentiment. Add this to the card below the snowflake.

Finish with an Opal Round in the center of the snowflake.
