I have had this sheet of snowflake vellum on my mind for the majority of the time I was making Christmas cards. I knew I wanted to use it, but wasn’t sure how. This challenge gave me an opportunity to do so!
Here’s my Lost Lagoon snowflake card:


Easy Peasy Does It
- The Lost Lagoon base measures 8-1/2 by 5-1/2 inches, scored at 4-1/4 inches
- There’s a piece of white cardstock under the vellum, which measures 5-3/8 by 4-1/8 inches
- The vellum also measures 5-3/8 inches by 4-1/8 inches
- The white cardstock on the inside measures 4 by 5-1/4 inches
- Trim a piece of Lost Lagoon to 4-1/8 by 5-3/8 inches, then crop the center out using a deckled rectangle die
- Use a scrap piece of Lost Lagoon for the sentiment banner
- Wipe down the scrap of Lost Lagoon using your embossing buddy
- Stamp the sentiment using VersaMark ink and cover it in silver embossing powder, then heat set
- Crop the sentiment using a die from the Greetings of the Season die set
- I outlined the sentiment banner using the clear Wink of Stella pen
Assembly:
- Unless otherwise noted, I used multipurpose liquid glue to adhere the pieces together
- Adhere the vellum to the white cardstock by adding glue so it will be covered by the Lost Lagoon frame
- Stamp the Lost Lagoon frame using the snowflake cluster from Frozen Edges and Lost Lagoon ink
- Stamp the same snowflakes and ink on the envelope flap
- Adhere the frame to the vellum/cardstock layer
- Wrap a length of Lost Lagoon ribbon around the vellum/cardstock/frame layers and tie in a knot
- Add dimensionals to the back of the sentiment banner and adhere to the card
- Finish by adding silver enamel dots to the centers of the snowflakes on the vellum
Thank you for stopping by today!
Have a Peachy Day!
