Let it Snow

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

They say there were a few snowflakes the other night.
I'm sad I missed them, but it can snow in the craft room.


I used an old embossing folder with a new snowflake die.

The die set is two pieces and each has an inner cut that can pop out for
more stacking.

This time I cut from Champagne Foil.


I also cut from white cardstock and smooshed in some DOX inks.

The background for this card is stamped and heaty embossed for a tiny bit
of texture and added interest.

I like the indoor snowflakes best anyway Bonnie, and these two are no exception! They are both absolutely STUNNING!! I love how you can stack the die cuts for different looks and your backgrounds are awesome too! Lovely, lovely indoor snowflake cards my friend!! Hugs. :0)

Brenda in IN said...

Two elegant cards made with that wonderful snowflake die. I love that bashful blue color of c/s and both cards look so pretty embossed.

Bobby said...

I prefer indoor snowflakes, Bonnie, especially when they are as gorgeous as these two. Bright and shiny in foil or soft and serene smooshed in blue. Either way your cards are lovely.

I've always said these paper snowflakes are much prettier than the real ones, Bonnie - and one doesn't have to shovel them!
Beautiful in silver and champagne - I'm also loving your fabulous embossed snowflakes.

Wow! That is some magnificent snowflake, Bon, and you've made two magnificent cards! That first snowflake could be put on a headband and you've got a crown! Fitting because you are the Queen of Snowflakes with this post and I love how you did both the focal ones and the backgrounds! Hugs, Dolly (p.s. Thanks for linking again to NBUS!)

Bah Humbug no snow flakes here - but I guess that is what we deserve moving from the mountains of NC to Florida! I really like the silver on the blue embossed background - Beautiful!

What an amazing, fabulous, gorgeous snowflake! I especially love the second one in the soft smudgy blues. We haven't had any snow yet, but if we do I hope it looks like this!

OMG..Gorgeous snowflake cards, Bonnie. I love your new die cut stacked snowflakes with the textured snowflakes background. Two beauties for your 2023 Christmas stash:-) TFS my friend. Love and Hugs...Nancy

Cat Craig said...

Beautifully put together, gorgeous cards.

Nstiz said...

That snowflake just hit my wish list after seeing how you used it. It's gorgeous, Bonnie! I didn't realize it's 2 dies for stacking too. Love the soft sponging on the second one as well as the shine one on your first card. What fabulous cards!

Lisa Elton said...

What a gorgeous snowflake die and you've used it to perfection, Bonnie! Two marvelous cards. A few snowflakes I can handle. After that give me the paper kind!

Brenda said...

Both snowflake cards are so pretty Bonnie! I love the colors on both of them as well as your embossing folder on the first one. That is one pretty snowflake and I love that there is an inner part that can be used as well. We had a few flakes of the real thing too and I thought it was some grass plums blowing around in the wind until my step father told me it was snow! lol Sorry you missed your flakes. We haven't had any measurable snow yet! Look out March as that is when we can get some good snowfalls sometimes. Hugs, Brenda

Pat said...

Such pretty cards with the embossed backgrounds Bonnie, and such great dimension using these two snowflakes on top of one another, and the two different sentiments across the middle of each is perfect. x

Susan said...

Two beautiful cards, Bonnie! Love your new snowflake die - great stacking for more dimension. I really like the way you did the sentiments on the cards.

Christine Alexander said...

Beautiful layered snowflakes ♥

TK said...

Beautiful cards, both are just beautiful with your new die! Love the champagne foil, and the embossing on both is just wonderful

Linda W. (ScrappinBari) said...

Oooo - gorgeous layered snowflakes, Bonnie!! Especially love the speckled egg version!! LOL - if you want to see some snowflakes falling, come to MN! It rained most of the afternoon, then turned to sleet/snow - such fun driving!!

Heather said...

When I saw the first one I thought immediately that I must make one like it but then I saw the second one and it is perfection. The colours on the snowflake are beautiful.

Julia Aston said...

What a gorgeous snowflake die Bonnie! Love it both in the silver and the smooshed white and blue - and your backgrounds are beautiful too! Thanks for joining us at Inkspirational using your new die! Julia xx

Both beautiful, Bonnie. Fab dimension. Love the inks you used on the second card.

Papercraft Boutique said...

These snowflake cards are fantastic, Bonnie! Both snowflakes have wonderful dimensions. Love the beautiful shine of the first snowflake and the unique smooshed texture of the second one! The echoing embossing in the background is a nice touch. I've never seen real snowflakes in my life, and these beautiful indoor snowflakes are a treat for the eyes.
