I always want to give my holiday products more attention, but the season gets busy and then they get put away and I don’t think about pulling them out until the next year. Before the recent Honey Bee Stamps holiday release came out I had started making some holiday cards with some great winter and Christmas stamps I’d bought LAST year (2023). I want to make more with these, so I’ll be sharing some of those here.

Techniques:

• The background snowflakes are arranged in a random looking pattern across the Rainforest (dark green-blue) background. They have a wonderful metallic color shifting shine because I used Iridescent embossing powder on them, which is especially magical on dark. Leaving some residual embossing powder around some snowflakes added to the frosty feel - like you see on windows in those cold, snowy mornings.

• The two silver snowflakes are cut from holographic cardstock. I didn’t glue the whole thing down, just the centers and a few of the other pieces. I wanted them to be secure, but also wanted that little shadow effect that makes them look like they’re floating.

• On the bottom of the card, the two accent stripes in Lemongrass and Peacock offer a style contrast to the detail of the snowflakes. A silver embossed sentiment ties in with the shimmer of the snowflakes, and with the two large silver snowflakes it creates a focal point triangle.

Colors:

• cardstock: Concord & 9th Lemongrass, Rainforest, Peacock. Simon Says Stamp Holographic Silver.
