Today’s slimline Christmas card is one of the projects I designed for my November card classes. It was quick and easy to make but wasn’t what I intended when I started making it. For me the design evolves as I go along! The snowflake background was created with one of the Adorning Designs Decorative Masks from our Aug – Dec 2021 mini catalogue. Masks are a great way to add a quick and easy background to cards and are often overlooked in the catalogue.
It’s fun making different sized card every once in a while. I made this card from one sheet of A4 coastal cabana card and it fits into a DL envelope to post. I was pleased to use gems from my stash (although retired) for the snowflake centres. Who else has a collection?
I only had one of the Wonderful Snowflakes left when I made the video below so die cut two snowflakes from a Snowy White 12″ 12 Velvet Sheet to use instead.
The snowflakes stamped in the inside are two tone – watch the video to see how I did that with a sponge dauber.
