The Trim the Tree Designer paper Stack is full of versatile patterns. Like the two I used on this card that give it a Scandinavian look.
I loved the sketch challenge from Create with Connie and Mary and used it to “tell the story”. This card is also 4-1/4″ square so it will easily fit inside the Medium Envelope(107301) from Stampin’ Up!
I was also playing with the Many Merry Stars Simply Created kit and borrowed a banner to add my small but heartfelt greeting(pun or no pun – you choose, lol).
Tip: In order to get the largest snowflake from the Northern Flurry Embossing folder to show exactly where I wanted it, I placed the card at a angle inside the folder.

I’ll be back tomorrow to show you the goodies I had fun putting together from the Many Merry Stars Simply Created kit.

The embossing of the snow flake really makes it pop. Love the dry embossed snowflake on the background too. And thanks for the great tip too! So glad you were able to join us this week at Create with Connie and Mary.

What a wonderful card. It feels like a nice warm sweater on a cold winter day (like it is here in Ohio!) Great placement of the large snowflake! Thanks for playing along this week in the Create with Connie and Mary Thursday Challenge!
Cynthia Stevenson says
Thank you Mary. It’s been pretty cold here in northeastern BC as well. Welcome to winter!
