I love quick wins, and today I’m sharing a 3-step card made with the Snowflake Kisses Bundle. So fast and easy, with gorgeous detail created with the die cut background!
This time of year, we all get short on time. And when you can create a beautiful card in 3 steps, it makes getting your holiday cards done in a snap! The magic happens with the amazing background die in the Snowflake Kisses Die set. It not only creates the gorgeous die cut layer, but also the center circle for a sentiment, all with one cut!
I added the background to the card front using Foam Adhesive Strips along the edges to create incredible depth. It’s shadowy in the photos, but in person, it’s gorgeous!
For extra detail, I also pulled in North Pole Delivery Designer Series Paper behind the die cut layer. The beautiful dot pattern works perfectly to create contrast.
The sentiment is from the Snowflake Kisses Stamp Set and stamped in my favorite – Secret Sea ink- on the die cut circle created when cutting the background.
Project Variation
The second project is a variation, using different colors and changing up the center. I used the graph pattern from the same patterned paper collection and Real Red Cardstock. The coordinating ribbon and embellishments are Delightful Decorative Dots and Shiny Real Red Ribbon. Both of these are on the Last Chance list and discounted, making them a great deal!
For the center, I substituted the detailed circle die from the Snowflake Kisses Die Set. This die can be used alone as shown, or layered with the circle die used on the first project.
Inside the card, I used a scrap. And since it was not wide enough, I added one of the adorable ephemera pieces from the paper collection! Such a great way to use up scraps.
Such a beautiful project, and so simple and fun to make!
