Hello everyone. I’m back today with some winter wishes. This card was actually supposed to be for a guest designer spot, but due to a miscommunication/oversight on my part 🙈, I didn’t end up submitting it.
Anyway, using the middle column (snowflakes-free-winter) from challenge #144 at Tic Tac Toe Challenge (TTTC), I made this.
I love the Blurry Flurries paper pack from Whimsy Stamps. They are gorgeous and make it so easy to create a card. I just die cut three snowflakes from a scrap of glossy cardstock using the snowflake die that came in the Simon Says Stamp (SSS) January 2021 Snowflake Season monthly kit (no longer available). I don’t remember the last time I used glossy card-stock, but I thought it would give the snowflakes a cool sheen with no extra effort… and I was right! Too bad it couldn’t be captured in the photos. 🤷🏻♀️
Winter (retired die from SSS) was die cut out of a scrap of white glitter paper from Memory Box Majestic Hues Glitter Pad and from black cardstock to offset for a drop shadow. The sentiment from My Favorite Things (MFT) Bitty Holiday Wishes was then heat embossed on black cardstock with white embossing powder. Assembled and mounted the card onto a white card base to finish.
And since I needed a birthday card this month for a crafty friend, I used a different piece of pattern paper and a similar sentiment from MFT Bitty Birthday Wishes to create her birthday card. And just by changing the sentiment, this birthday card ended up completing four lines of the tic-tac-toe board (middle column, left column, top row, and diagonal top right to bottom left)… so fun!
Here they are again.
Thank you for stopping by. Have a wonderful day.

WOW - these two snowflake cards are beautiful. Love the designer paper too.
Very cold outside so I'm still brewing hot chocolate like it's going out of fashion. Come and grab a mug once you've finished playing on the swings!

Oh, wow! Beautiful paper for your gorgeous cards! Such pretty snowflakes, too!
Beautiful background papers and love the 'glossy' snowflakes. Eye catching cards, both of them Trina x.
That paper makes a great background for these pretty snowflakes. I have a lot of glossy paper. I need to use it for snowflakes! Thanks for the inspiration!
Awesome DP and love the snowflake accent ♥
Gorgeous pair of snowflake cards, Trina - what perfect papers as a background to the glossy flakes!!
What a brilliant use of those papers Trina! Your snowflakes and overlapping sentiment gives the design such a lot of depth. Thank you for sharing at the Tic Tac Toe challenge! Vicky x
Wow - that Blurry Flurry paper is a gorgeous background for your wonderful glossy snowflakes Trina! So pretty in the blue and pink!
Gorgeous background paper and beautiful snowflakes. Love the way you did the large "winter" and then the small stamping for the rest of the sentiment.
These cards are very effective, Trina. I'm sure the sparkle of the snowflakes is amazing. The choice of sentiments is perfect. I also love these beautiful colored papers with the bokeh effect.

Both cards are so beautiful, Trina! The bokeh paper background is gorgeous with the die-cut snowflakes. I can imagine the beautiful sheen of them. The black shadow of the die-cut sentiment is so effective!
