I absolutely love this new set featured in the Holiday Mini catalog, Serene Snowflakes, as well as the Icicles rub-ons. Here is it used with Chocolate Chip and Bella Bleu (Very Vanilla). The technique used is Heat Embossing.

I really enjoyed making this non-traditional holiday card…using Very Vanilla!!! Something different. Hope you enjoy it and it inspires you to think of new holiday color combinations!
The Stampin’ Up! product used:
- Chocolate Chip Craft Ink
- Serene Snowflakes stamp set
- Sweet Swirls wheel
- Clear Embossing Powder
- Heat Gun
- Dazzling Diamonds
- Two-way Glue Pen
- Icicles rub-ons
- Kraft Taffeta Ribbon
- Silver Buckle from the Styled Silver Hodgepodge Hardware
To make this card:
- Create a 5-1/4 x 5-1/4 Square Card using Very Vanilla cardstock.
- Cut either two pieces of different patterned Very Vanilla paper from the Bella Bleu designer series paper pack (as I did) or just use one pattern.
- At the bottom, ink up the wheel with Craft ink and then roll across. Cover with embossing powder, shake off the excess powder and heat.
- Then, for the top section, rub-on many snowflakes of different sizes.
- Then ink up the snowflakes from the Serene Snowflakes stamp set and stamp around (using Craft Ink). Emboss them.

- Next, using the Two-Way Glue Pen, add Dazzling Diamonds to the snowflakes or where desired. I added it to the snowflakes and in between the swirls at the bottom.
- Adhere the two pieces down to the card front.
- Lastly, wrap a piece of ribbon around, threading it through the buckle, and adhere on the inside of the card.
