A Collection for All Seasons

This beautiful collection features lots of snowflakes that can be used for different occasions. They are perfect for winter and Christmas cards especially! WISHING YOU My first card uses the Snowflake Card Creator Etched Dies. This 6” large snowflake is perfect to add onto cards or can be used as the card itself, which is what I have done today. I cut the outer layer from white cardstock twice, made a hinge on one piece, and adhered it to the back of the other, to create a card base. I cut the…
