I had to laugh - just made a couple snowflake cards the other day and lo and behold - the July Challenge at CAS Christmas is Snowflake! Luckily my stash has a huge bunch of snowflake stuff so I quickly whipped up three cards last night and today.
My first card uses a snowflake flourish I cut on the Silhouette and had in my UFO box along with a pile of other snowflakes. I layered a couple more snowflakes onto the biggest one, added some gems and a diecut sentiment, called it a day! Very quick and easy.
Supplies: Paper - Neenah Classic Crest Solar White; Poptone Black Licorice
DCWV Ms Sparkle shimmer blue A2 card
Silhouette file - Design ID 23582 Flourish snowflake by Lori Whitlock
Dies - center snowflake from Lawn Fawn Stitched Snowflakes (next layer unknown)
Joy is from Sizzix Angel stamp & cut (retired)
Other - gems from Michaels
Next I used a Hero Arts snowflake ornament die. Had to have this one last year and never made a card with it until now! Typical.... Managed to use a couple more UFO box items - the glittery bow and Merry. The rest I cut specifically for this project.
Supplies: Paper - Neenah Classic Crest Solar White; Paper Studio glitter
DCWV Ms Sparkle shimmer green A2 card; Momenta Watercolor
Dies - Hero Arts Snowflakes and Ornament Fancy Die and Nesting Circle Infinity Dies
Other - Michaels gems
I was going through my stash trying to reorganize some stuff and sorting through some goodies my friend Jean sent me. Spotted a fun Penny Black set with snowflake ornaments - just had to use them for a third card. I stamped the Christmas with the dangling snowflakes and added a diecut merry. Super quick and easy!
Supplies: Paper - DCWV Ms Sparkle shimmer blue A2 card; Paper studio glitter
scrap of blue; Momenta Watercolor
Stamps - Penny Black Most Wonderful
Other - Michaels gems; Hero Arts Navy ink
Thanks for stopping and making it to the end of this post! I'm watching A Capitol 4th on public TV and then I'll switch over to watch Macy's fireworks show on NBC. Our local fireworks are good but I'd rather watch them without bugs!!

Wow you've been productive!! Great collection of charming cards!!
Wonderful trio of snowflake inspired Christmas cards, Linda. The Silhouette flourish die-cut is unique... great dimension. Thank you for joining us at CAS Christmas. x
I really enjoyed the Capitol 4th and Macy's fireworks last night, Linda! Wouldn't it have been fun to watch it together? Well we did but not in the same place. Love, love, love all three of your snowflake cards! I love the depth of the layered snowflakes of the first card and the pretty snowflake ornament of the second. And I'm wondering why I don't have the Penny black Christmas snowflake stamp? I love that one too! Thanks so much for sharing with us at CAS Christmas!
Three beautiful snowflake Christmas cards, Linda! Isn't it wonderful to make sure of so many bits in your UFO box??!! The cards are all so lovely. You grew your stash quickly in one day with all of these fantastic cards. Thanks for sharing with us at CAS Christmas!

I love fireworks, but don't want to leave the puppydog home alone, so we enjoy them on TV--Capital 4th, Boston Pops & Macy's! Better than ever this year, I thought! Your snowflake cards are wonderful, Linda! I especially love the snowflake ornament!
