Sparking Snowflakes

Even though Halloween is still two weeks away,  I've starting working on Christmas crafts.  Part of the reason is because I have a few craft shows coming up in the next few weeks.  Plus, I've found that starting early helps alleviate some of the last minute rush to get everything completed that I want to make.  So far, it's maily been gifts for friends, but this week I started working on a few card ideas too!  

I used the beautiful Sparking Snowflakes bundle (162165) for today's card.  

My card base is Pretty Peacock, with a silver foil layer, and a Snowflake Magic Layer.  I used the punch included in the bundle to create the greeting as well as a couple of snowflakes.  All were stamped in Lost Lagoon.  I added Adhesive Backed Glitter Sequins to the center of the snowflakes.  These are currently out of stock, expected back in stock around mid November.  An alternative would be to use the Adhesive-Backed Sparkle Gems (161288) from the annual catalog that are currently in stock.

For the inside, I added a layer of Basic White card stock and stamped a few snowflakes in Lost Lagoon.  

Here is the complete supply list for my card (including the alternate embellishment).  Clicking any of the products will take you to my online store for a closer look.

Pick of the Patch

 It's been a little tough thinking about fall and pumpkins and Halloween around here this week.  With sunny skies and very warm temperatures, it has felt much more like summer than fall!  Nonetheless, I was still persevere to make today's fall call card.

I love this bundle because it's easily used to make cards for both Halloween and Thanksgiving!  If you've overlooked this bundle, take another look.  It's on page 51 in the Sept-Dec Mini Catalog.  And if you'd like to make this card, find the directions here!
