It’s time for the Festive Friday Challenge, where every challenge is a party! For FF0022, we are celebrating Christmas and/or Snowflakes. I selected the “twist” and created a snowflake card which uses the Beautiful Blizzard stamp set and Blizzard thinlits die. Whatever way you decide to create is fine with us. We can’t wait to see what you create!

Festive Friday Tutorial
Your Step-by-Step Guide
1. Score the Whisper White Thick cardstock at 4-1/4″. Crease with a bone folder. Adhere the Sparkle Glimmer paper to the front of the card.
2. Ink the large background stamp with Balmy Blue, stamp off once, and stamp in the center of the Whisper White cardstock. Repeat with the smaller “splotch” stamp, enlarging the image to form a “background”.
3. Ink the speckle image with Balmy Blue. Do not stamp off. Randomly stamp all over the “background”, re-inking each time.
4. Ink the flourish with Balmy Blue. Stamp onto the upper left of the “background”. Ink again and stamp into the lower right section.
5. Add Blueberry Bushel snowflakes to the upper right and lower left corner of the “background”.
6. Ink the sentiment in Blueberry Bushel and stamp onto the vellum. Allow it to dry before handling it. Adhere to the card, hiding the adhesive under where the glimmer paper snowflakes will be located.
7. Mat this white layer onto Blueberry Bushel cardstock, and adhere to the card base.
8. Use the Blizzard thinlit to die cut Sparkle Glimmer Paper snowflakes. Select three, and adhere to the card as shown. Accent the centers with rhinestones.
