Warm Holiday Wishes

Hi, hope you all are having a great weekend so far.  I am still trying to get my Christmas card idea so I made this card following a sketch on the Cricut message board.  I made it into a gatefold card.

I wanted the snowflake to hold it closed but am having a little problem with that part and will have to work on it.  It think it is a bit to stiff or heavy to hold the card closed.  Well I guess it will stayed closed in the envelope when I mail it LOL.

The snowflake I cut using the Winter Lace cartridge and it has 4 layers.  All the layers are the same cut 2 are cut at 1 3/4 inches and 2 a little smaller then I sprayed them with Glimmer Mist to give them some shimmer and glued them off setting the pattern as I stacked them.  Added a silver snowflake bling that I had bought last year, and added a few of the same bling snowflakes on the upper left hand corner.  The paper is from Paper Wishes that came in one of my Dazzles kits.  The oval and scalloped over were also cut using my Cricut, then stamped it and heat embossed it in silver.

I added a light blue strip across the from and punched both sides using an EK Success punch.  The card is 5 x 7 1/2  so it is a larger card.

The inside I did very simple cutting a shape using one of Nesites from white pearl paper.  I will add a holiday sentiment later.

I really appreciate you stopping by my blog today.  Please leave me a comment, I just love reading them.
