Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop!

This month, the Pals have been busy creating cozy, frosty, whimsical card ideas and paper crafts for our Winter Wonderland theme — using our favorite Stampin’ Up! goodies. Each project brings a different twist, and that’s what makes the hop feel like a stroll through a creative winter village. If you’re looking for inspiration (or maybe a reason to stay inside with your craft supplies), this hop is for you!

Winter Wonderland, the perfect theme for a Snowy Delight. With the holidays ramping up it’s time for quick projects. This one is just that. One die, some paper and a little bling.

Snowy Delights Stamp Set #169209

Snowy Delights Dies #165807

The snowflake is cut twice for the outside. One from patterned paper and twice from glimmer paper. Then, layered to look like a shadow. The center is cut from a second glimmer snowflake and adhered to the top center. If you have three layers, you’ve done it correctly.

The Stampin’ Up! Designer Series Paper (aka patterned paper) used here is the beautiful Peaceful Garden. Full of blue and gray hues, patterns included  are perfect for this time of year. Add the companion Peaceful Garden Glimmer Paper to create the perfect wintery project. Let’s take a look.

These are the two DSP sheets used in this project.

 
Creating can be messy, right? Does your workspace end up full of leftover paper pieces after your project is finished? That’s how the inside of this card came to be. Now it’s complete
