Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas. Sigh, I don't think we'll be seeing snow here.
So I made some of my own!
I cut a snowy embossed piece into thirds, mounted the pieces on silver foil,
silver heat embossed a greeting and added a die cut snowflake that was
heat embossed three time. The little "gems" are actually glitter paper cut with
a paper punch.

Whoa, what a great card! I love the embossed snowflakes and the silver. This design is lovely and the big snowflake is gorgeous. What a great idea to use glitter paper and a punch to make gems. We may get a dusting of snow so it may be a "white" Christmas here.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous design Bonnie x. Cutting the pretty embossing folder into thirds looks wonderful and what a beautiful card x. No snow here.....Yet!!
ReplyDeleteLovely & classy card!! I also love the idea of making your own gems from glitter paper...super idea! IMHO, snow is highly overrated...beautiful in pictures, but so darn cold and wet! LOL!
ReplyDeleteBonnie what a fab CAS card with gorgeous texture that added sparkle and colour-cool way to make gems! So glad you joined us at Time Out and have a wonderful holiday x
ReplyDeleteLove that embossing xx
ReplyDeleteYour card is very lovely with the embossed snowflake background! Wonderful design and great addition with the pretty snowflake and gems! Thanks so much for joining us at Dies R Us for the challenge!
ReplyDeleteIt's BEAutiful! You nailed all those challenges...your snowflake is a diecut right?! You're GOOD! We still have snow, although I am not sure it's going to last until Christmas!
ReplyDeleteNo snow here either Bonnie {sighs} but we've been promised some frost so suppose a little bit of white is better than none at all! (Well I think so anyway!)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card and that snowflake is fantabulous! x
So beautiful how you used the embossed panels! A real festive card! Thank you for joining us at TIME OUT!
ReplyDeletebeautiful, Bonnie, love all the gorgeous shine here! And I might add BRILLIANT to use a punch to get glitter gems :o)
ReplyDeleteA beautiful card Bonnie and love the embossed snowflake background cut into three panels, and with a gap for the sentiment, a great idea, and love the teal embossed larger die cut snowflake over the top. x
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Bonnie, love the snowflake theme with the embossing and die cuts :)

Gorgeous! bonus: you don't have to shovel any of these lovely snowflakes!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty, Bonnie!

Love the teal snowflake and silver foil linings against the white embossed panel...to me it feels peaceful. And also love the idea of punching centers from glitter paper vs. using a chunky embellishment that requires extra postage(!)
ReplyDeleteOh, I love your snowflake card with the pops of silver and blue. I like how you divided the embossed piece in thirds. TFS
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful! Now THIS I think I can do.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas Bonnie -

ReplyDeleteBeautiful panels of embossing and perfect addition of a few gemstones. No snow here - just pouring rain all day.
So beautiful, thank you for joining us at Allsorts, xxx
ReplyDeleteGorgeous snowflake dry embossed panels, Bonnie. Love your die cut snowflake and heat embossed green layers with a pretty bow. Your silver foil framing was a nice shiny touch along with your punched faux gems. TFS my friend...we have had over 4 inches of rain the last 2 days...suppose to get a bit of sun the next few days...definitely NO snow. TFS your beauty Love and Hugs...Nancy
ReplyDeleteThis one is tastefully designed and visually appealing! Love that you embossed the snowflake several times. What patience you have. Beautiful card.
ReplyDeleteFabulous design. Wonderful snowflake theme.
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty card. I really like your different panels of snowflakes, and how you put your sentiment right in that sweet spot. Thanks so much for playing along at Time Out.
ReplyDeleteFabulous EF, Bonnie - where's it from??? I'm sure I need to add it to my growing collection! LOL! Thanks for playing at Let's Squash It! Jo x
ReplyDeleteGreat sketch Bonnie - just love your snowflake panels with the die cut snowflake atop!!
ReplyDeleteSo many snowflakes in one place! I love the idea of dividing the embossed panel into 3 parts. This made the card more attractive. Holidays in Poland were without snow, but for several days we have had a real winter here with snowfall and frost - 14 degrees Celsius. Maybe it will reach you ...?
