25 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS, DAY #5: Silver & Plum Snow Flurries...

Today's 25 Days of Christmas project features the Snow Flurry Die which has quickly become a favorite of mine.  It is a clean and simple square card (4.25" x 4.25") with only one stamp from the adorable hostess stamp set, Mixed Medley.  I embossed the Designer Series Paper for more dimension and a slightly distressed look.  To enhance the distressed look, you can sand the raised embossed areas to reveal more of the white core.

This second version is the same basic card with the same elements, but with quite a different look.  In this one, I just flipped the DSP over to the other side, rotated the snowflake, and added jewels to circles at the "branch" ends.  I don't think I like the lighter paper as much for this card, but I do like the bling!  Enjoy!

Please note:  The Rhinestone Basic Jewels used for this project are on sale for 30% off during Stampin' Up!'s Online Extravaganza through Nov. 28!
