Save time on finishing the inside of your cards with this trick!

I’m excited to share these stunning snowflake cards with you today. We made them at my card clubs in December.
Living in North Dakota, we usually see a lot of snow in the winter so these cards are great for many occasions.

I used the Snowflake Kisses bundle seen here. It’s filled with wonderful greeting images and lots of snowflake dies.

My colors include Pretty Peacock with Cloud Cover and Gorgeous Grape with Fresh Freesia. I think blues & purples are perfect for snowflakes. We used a blending brush to add more color to the large snowflake die-cut.

After creating the cards above I thought I’d try combining the colors on the large die-cut.

Isn’t that pretty? I just love combining Gorgeous Grape with Pretty Peacock on the Fresh Freesia die-cut. Blending Brushes make this a breeze!

Look how we finished the inside.

I wanted to add snowflakes to the inside of the card but didn’t want to die-cut tons of them for my club gals. So I came up with creating a snowflake stencil.
I cut multiple snowflakes from a piece of card stock and we used Blending Brushes to add pretty snowflakes to our White layer. I truly love the effect it gives.

See how this card is made in the video below. I also shared a second Snowflake Kisses fun fold card.

• Pleased as Punch fun fold card

  February 5, 2020

  I made this card for a recent online swap I participated in.  I believe this type of fold is called a 'Joy Fold' card.

  The Pool Party piece is folded in half; the bottom part is under the front flap of the White layer.  See measurements below.

  I chose to use the brand new Pleased as Punch designer paper seen here.  It coordinates with FOUR of our current punches – amazing!  The two hearts on this card are punched directly from the designer paper.
