Snowflakes...Yes, in July!

 

  Are you ready for a little holiday inspiration?

I am happy to be participating with some
uber-talented designers for the . . .

with Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps !

I love this set called 'Snowflake Flourishes'

and think it's really fun to use it with 'non-traditional' colors.

Although not technically a Christmas card, it can definitely be

created for the holiday season.

I stamped the small snowflakes using shades of

pinks, blues & greens and then played off of those colors

for the rest of the card.

The snowflake is made from Bazzill cardstock

and was embossed with a Swiss Dot EF by Cuttlebug

and cut using Spellbinders dies.

and the pearl flourish is from Want2Scrap.

The 'wallpaper' is made from papers from

Dear Lizzy for American Crafts & Doodlebug Design.

Lots of great things are happening at Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps during these pre-holiday festivities!  ALL Christmas clear stamps are 20% off through Wednesday, July 25.  Three new holiday sets are in stock early, for a fun pre-release, and they you can get them before they are released in September and October... if you buy them now, you can take advantage of the sale price!
