Snowflake Card Ideas

Hello there, Michelle Short here to share three cards with you using Bibi’s Snowflakes collection by Bibi Cameron. This beautiful collection features lots of snowflakes that can be used for different occasions. They are perfect for winter and Christmas cards especially!

WISHING YOU

My first card uses the Snowflake Card Creator Etched Dies. This 6” large snowflake is perfect to add onto cards or can be used as the card itself, which is what I have done today. I cut the outer layer from white cardstock twice, made a hinge on one piece, and adhered it to the back of the other, to create a card base.

I cut the top layer first from white cardstock and then again using White Pop-Up Die Cutting Glitter Foam Sheets. I adhered the white piece down first, to help with placement, and then the foam one on top. I die-cut the foliage from the set from Rainforest and Fern Cardstock and the flowers from Purple Mist and Lilac Blossom Cardstock.

I assembled and adhered the flowers and foliage to the card using Bearly Art Glue (because of the glitter, it does take a little extra time to dry). I die-cut the sentiment from Snowflake Wishes Clear Stamp & Die Set using Royal Amethyst Cardstock three times and stacked them up for dimension. I stamped a sentiment from the set, die cut it out and adhered it on top before adhering the whole thing to the card using foam tape. To finish off, I embellished it with a few Silver Mix Color Essentials Gems.

MERRY CHRISTMAS

For my second card, I wanted to show how you can use the snowflakes in a subtle way for a background. I hot foiled the Glimmering Snowflakes Hot Foil Plate onto white cardstock with Opal Foil. This gives a tone-on-tone look with a subtle shine. It was then die-cut into a tag.

I hot-foiled the sentiment from the set onto black cardstock using Silver Foil. It was cut into a strip and adhered to the tag using thin foam tape. I die-cut the foliage from Snowflake Card Creator using Rainforest and Fern Cardstock and adhered them above the sentiment.

I die cut the Christmas Bird from Snowdrift, Purple Mist, Lilac Blossom, Wild Berry and Chamomile Cardstock. The pieces were assembled using Bearly Art Glue and adhered to the tag using foam tape. I added an Onyx Gem for his eye and then twine through the top of the tag and tied it in a bow. The tag was then adhered to an A2 white card base with more thin foam tape.

TO SAY HELLO

My final card for today uses the Delicate Snowflakes Etched Dies, which can be used in so many different ways! I die-cut the snowflake base three times from white cardstock and layered them up for dimension. I then die-cut the top layer twice from white cardstock and adhered it on top.

I die-cut the leaves from Rainforest Cardstock and the flowers from Purple Mist and Lilac Blossom Cardstock. They were adhered on top using Bearly Art Glue. I took a panel of cardstock and using a craft knife and ruler, cut a fishtail banner at the bottom of it.

The snowflake was adhered on top and then the banner adhered to an A2 white card base using thin foam tape. I stamped a sentiment from Snowflake Wishes Clear Stamp & Die Set using Clear Embossing & Watermark Ink. I applied Silver Embossing Powder and heat set. It was cut into a strip and adhered on top with more foam tape. To finish, I embellished with Silver Mix Color Essentials Gems.
