Snowflake Flower

by 52 comments


Good morning sweet friends!  I’m back to share another clean and simple card.  I was smitten with the newish Spellbinders™ Create a Flake III and have had this one on my to do list for a while.  This unique flake stacks up in the coolest way.  By putting them together and pulling the legs through every other space, it give a neat look to each layer.  I balanced it out with a sentiment stamped on the opposite end of the card with JustRite Stampers clear Winter Words set.  I made a shaped base  and mat layer using Spellbinders™ Grand Labels Twenty Three.  I added a border using Spellbinders™ Lace Doily Accents then added my snowflake flower on top.


As you can see, I had a moment to play and am steadily adding to my Christmas stash.  I am panicking that there’s less than 30 days left to Christmas – where oh where has the year gone??

SUPPLIES I USED
Stamps: JustRite Stampers – Winter Words
Paper: Bazzill, Neenah Classic Crest Cream 80lb cover
Ink: Versafine Onyx Black
Accessories: Spellbinders™ Create a Flake III, Spellbinders™ Lace Doily Accents, Spellbinders™ Labels Twenty Three, Recollections Pearls, Bazzill Button, Pearl Pic, Seam Binding

Stay warm sweet friends!  See you soon!!

    You never cease to amaze me with your creativity Becca!

Have a lovely day sweetie!ReplyCancel

  • EileenNovember 30, 2011 - 1:11 pm

    I love Christmas cards done with blue and white and this one is a stunner! I love what you have done with the snowflake and like that you have done one of the layers in silver which adds another dimension to the snowflake…..it’s all the little details that I love in your cards Becca….and love your use of what I call ‘hat pins’ with the pearls on them. I could sit and look at yur cards all day, thwy are all soooo pretty.
    LOL EileenReplyCancel

  • Judy I, St. Louis MONovember 30, 2011 - 1:13 pm

    Becca, I’m either going to have to quit reading your blog or win the lottery. There’s a slim chance of either. I’m NOT going to quit reading and they tell me that in order to win the lottery I have to buy a ticket, so that’s not likely to happen either.Everytime I think I’ve got all the Spellbinders I need, you come up with something awesome (ok that’s like every day) and I add another Spellbinders to my wish list. Your snowflake flower is awesome, so now that’s on my gotta have list. Thanks for all your wonderful inspiration.ReplyCancel

  • RufusNovember 30, 2011 - 1:30 pm

    Two more gorgeous cards, Becca. The snowflake one especially, I’m a sucker for snowflakes…as long as they aren’t real! lol
    Hope that your pain is getting less…it hurts to hurt! Having done in my back a time or two I really do feel for you.
    Thinking of you,

    You really are so inventive…what a grand idea to pull the ‘legs’ through to the next level. It’s so very effective. A beautiful card, as always, Becca. So glad you’re feeling well enough to create and share.ReplyCancel

  • Francie (Montreal)November 30, 2011 - 2:07 pm

  • Peggy CrawfordNovember 30, 2011 - 10:35 pm

    Just found your site a few days ago, wow you have some awesome talent! I have question, haven’t used the spellbinder all that much so how so how do you make the card base so it has a fold or how is it together? Used dies before and kept an edge inside so as not to cut on all 4 sides, but your card has shape all the way around? How do you do that? Love the card it is spectacular!ReplyCancel
