Two Ways to Use the Snowflake Splendour Patterned Paper

 

I fell in love with this snowflake patterned paper when I first saw it in the Stampin' Up! August - December 2020 Mini Catalogue. I love the non-traditional Christmas colours and the nod to a favourite children's movie. The pack is a combination of pastel snowflake patterns and watercolour effects in pale blue, turquoise and lilac shades. So pretty, and for the whole month of October 2020 this paper is 15% off! Purchase a pack here.

I wanted to show the versatility of the patterned paper by using it to create a Christmas card and also an everyday card suitable all year round. I chose the same paper from the set and used the reverse sides for my two different cards.

For the Christmas card I mounted the patterned paper on a piece of Pool Party cardstock and added another piece on top for my sentiment. The sentiment is from the Snowflake Wishes stamp set, stamped in Misty Moonlight ink.

The card is finished with a die cut snowflake cut from the Balmy Blue Glimmer Paper, some of the off cuts of the glimmer paper and some blue adhesive backed gems. 

Next I made an everyday card using the same Pool Party cardstock and patterned paper, but reversing the pattern. I stamped directly onto the paper using Misty Moonlight ink and the Beauty Abounds stamp set. The sentiment is from Many Mates, stamped onto a punched 2" circle and daubed with Highland Heather ink. Finally I fussy cut a butterfly from Beauty Abounds and added some sparkle with Wink of Stella, finishing it all with some ribbon.
