Sandi MacIver – Stampin With Sandi – Color Theory Suite Snowflake Cards
Hi stamping friends and welcome to this months Stamp to Share Blog Hop and Color Theory Suite Snowflake Cards.
This month our design challenge covers the Color Theory Suite found on pages 146/147 of the Stampin Up Annual Catalogue.
The hardest part of these cards was trying to take photos of them, haha…with all the white and then the shiny bits, I think I took about 100 photos!…ANYWAY,,,here we are.
Sandi’s Tips & Tricks for the Color Theory Snowflake Cards:
- Heavy Metal is all the rage this year so run with it.
- Snowflakes cut from Thick Whisper White and Gold Foil Sheet.
- One background was splattered with Crumb Cake Ink, the portrait card was embossed with the Softly Falling Embossing Folder.
- Add some soft texture with the 3/8″ Gold Metallic Ribbon
- Bling it up with the Metallic Sequin Assortment and a few Rhinestones.
- Use glue dots to lay the ribbon on the card before adding snowflakes over it.
- Keep the card base neutral, Crumb Cake for both.
- Try an embossing folder for the background adding texture instead of color
- When mailing, cut a piece of card stock the same size as the card and lay it over the front to protect the art pieces.

Great classy cards with bling Sandi, still struggling to do winter theme in the heat over here.
I agree Moira, it’s the middle of summer here as well, but it was raining the day I made them so that helped, haha
