Seasons Greetings Theme!

Welcome to Create With Stamping Friends Creatively Simple! Connie and I create simple cards with a theme each week and for this month, this is our theme:

It’s our last week featuring the Seasons Greetings theme so look for a new theme next week! I decided to add snowflakes to my card to depict winter since Christmas has gone by and to also celebrate a new year.

You will be amazed at how I came up with the snowflakes. What I had on hand for Christmas dies were a little too small for the card layout I had in mind so I started searching my sets and this is what I used:

Notice the die that looks like a snowflake? I don’t think that’s the intention of the die but hey, it works. If you are interested in this bundle, here is the information: Tune In Bundle #163637 $41.25
