Snow Crystal Christmas Card
For today’s hop, I created a Christmas card using Stampin’ Up!’s Snow Crystal background stamp with sentiments from the Brightest Glow stamp set. Both are available in Stampin’ Up!’s Annual Catalog. This is also a fun fold — an easel card. This style makes it super fun and easy to display your cards at the holidays (or any other time!).
Here are some measurements to help you get started.
- Thick Basic White Base measuring 11 x 4 1/2, scored at 5 1/2 and 2 3/4
- Basic White layer measuring 5 1/4 x 4
- Gray Granite measuring 5 x 3 3/4 and 5 1/4 x 4 embossed with a design from the Basics 3D Embossing Folders (Online Exclusives)
- Basic White measuring 4 3/4 x 3 1/2
- Snow Crystal background stamp and sentiments embossed with Silver Embossing Powder
- Labels Aglow Dies
- Rhinestone Basic Jewels

Kim,
Thank you for the great tutorial. I never thought about using gray granite for a Christmas card.
You’re most welcome! I was hoping the Gray Granite would almost look like silver! Thanks for hopping along and commenting!
