So…I had a REALLY hard time narrowing down what set I wanted to use. I finally settled on Flurry of Wishes (of course, I ALWAYS need more snowflake sets) and doing a new-to-me technique called Inlaid Words. I showed this technique at my technique class this month and they loved it! Not only is the stamp set new, so is the background embossing folder, Softly Falling, and the “snow” Seasonal Frame Thinlets, plus the fun little wood Snowflake Element…I colored mine with White Craft Ink.
- The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Thick Whisper White cardstock, folded in half.
- The 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Marina Mist cardstock is embossed with the Softly Falling embossing folder (I can’t decide which way I like it better…more snow at the bottom or more coming down from the top!)
- Across the front is a 1-1/4 x 5-1/4 strip of the silver pattern in Neutrals Collection Designer Paper Stack…then a 1/4″ x 5-1/4 strip of Silver Glimmer Paper under it.
- The Flurry of Wishes large snowflake was stamped on Whisper White with Marina Mist Ink, then cut with the Circles Framelit. At the same time, I cut the word “snow” from Seasonal Frame Thinlets across the center…make sure to save the little pieces from the curly cues! I cut the word again from Marina Mist cardstock.
- The large circle snowflake was placed on the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals, then I used the WONDERFUL Fine Tip Glue Pen to glue the Marina Mist word snow inside the opening to the base of the card. Adhere in the little curly cue pieces you kept from the snowflake one.
- Finally, I colored the wood Snowflake Element with White Craft Ink and my sponge dauber…let dry…add a large Rhinestone in the center and add to the card with a small Stampin’ Dimensional in the center. I also added Rhinestones in the snowflake ends.
LOTS of sparkle on this card! OK…you are at my blog…Connie Babbert…so find my name and then click on the next person’s link to move forward with the blog tour!

Oh Connie, I just love how you did this!! Super cute! I can’t wait to try it out!
Hey Connie! Your card is amazing… as always. You are just so talented!!!
Love this card, Connie!
Connie I love the colours in this card and wow the fine work with the expressions thinlets – love how you have the blue feature and the stamped detail in the letters. You are one patient lady. Beautiful
Lovely card Connie and thanks for sharing the idea for the Inlaid Words technique. It looks stunning and I may just have to try it oout.
I wouldn’t have thought to use the Thinlits to cut the word out of the base piece. 😀 I would love to see all of this sparkle in person. Thanks so much for sharing.
Lovely card, so wintery and fresh.
special way you used the thinlits, gave us an idea for more
Greetings Caroline
This is so pretty Connie! Love how the word is cut from Marina Mist so that it shows up beautifully!
