FMS Peace and Joy Snowflake
I'm skipping from Fall to Winter today with a lovely card for Freshly Made Sketches. The new Frosted papers don't scream traditional red & green Christmas, but they are perfect for winter cards and projects. With this card I have captured the calm, cool season with some "frosted" blues and neutrals. The Rosewood mini medley accent in the center of the snowflake is gorgeous and adds an elegant touch to the card. I think that the FMS sketch was the perfect base to showcase that wreath and snowflake!

DE Holiday ~ Snowflake Ensemble
The last shape to use up on the Dimensional Elements In Color Holiday chipboard is the pretty smoothie snowflake.
My very first thought was to use this gorgeous scalloped snowflake in the center of a popular 3D ornament from another stamping company! But, then I had this beautiful lonely card still sitting on the shelf from a recent sketch challenge. Why not create an entire gift ensemble!
It all starts with this great little box from Birch Box. Not only do you get a variety of goodies to try from this company, but they come in this sturdy, handy box that's super easy to recycle into a gift card box!
I simply adhered the card to the top of the box. I made 4 more cards on a smaller scale to fit inside the box. I also used some more of the Pear & Partridge paper to dress up a pen and embellished it with some pretty ribbons.
I searched for a video on how to make this awesome ornament and one of my customers had some written instructions. I cut the assembly time in half by creating it the "Close To My Heart" way! When you cut everything out on the cricut and already have a beautiful centerpiece you can create this beautiful keepsake in no time at all! I forgot to take a picture of the back, but it has a Christmas sentiment and the year 2012 stamped on it.
I hope you enjoyed my week of Dimensional Elements Holiday cards! I am busy creating lots more homemade gifts for Christmas. Come by often to see more creations and get some gift ideas!

H2H Wintery Color Challenge
It's a color challenge on Heart 2 Heart this week. Our colors are Crystal Blue, Amethyst and White Daisy or Colonial White. I obviously used some Kraft cardstock to warm up this "chilly" palette. The snowflake was cut out on the Kraft paper using the Art Philosophy cartridge, then mounted on some blue Wonderland paper. We were also dared to throw in a little glitter or sparkle too. It's hard to see from my photo, but the tiny white dots all around the snowflake have a little shimmer to them!
The bottom of the card also says "warm winter wishes". All product is Close To My Heart except the punch to create the scallop border.
Be sure to see all the beautiful artwork and try the color challenge yourself on the Heart 2 Heart Blog.

Mojo Snowflakes
Here is this week's Mojo Monday sketch. Thanksgiving is tomorrow and that means Christmas is just around the corner. Time to get started on those Christmas cards!
I'm really attracted to the blue/red/brown color combination lately. I have been creating lots of Christmas goodies with this similar combination. {I will post them soon!} I really love this stamp set too and the darling sentiment.

Snowflake Inspired
Today is December 12th, the last day of Saturday Christmas Inspirations. Today is the day I am hosting my annual Christmas card exchange. I am so excited to see the creations of these talented ladies. I will post pictures of the cards as soon as I am able. I will also show the make and take project I prepared for them to create today.
Today's card is a mix of twilight blue, tulip red and soft sweet leaf green. I love how the colors came together, but my favorite item on this card has to be the snowflake. These can be found just about anywhere this time of year in the Holiday decor areas of the stores. I just cut off the string and used a glue dot to adhere it to my card. In the center I used a clear button glued to a piece of B&T paper. Look closely, the sentiment is attached with one of our fabulous glitter brads in tulip. It was a fairly simple card to put together with minimal stamping.
