Snowflake aperture card

Never mind Christmas cards I also need a few New Year cards, and ideally I would use the same design to make a batch all at once. The simpler the card, the better, and this idea showcased here is perfect.

I'm using a Papertrey Ink Snowflake die, Distress inks and an Indigo stamp from the Retro Christmas sheet.


I had to add a piece of paper to cover the back of my stamped panel to tidy up but otherwise that's it,  bar adding the appropriate greeting (Christmas or New Year) if I feel it's absolutely essential later.

Have you got any recipes for quick Christmas/New Year cards?

I am entering the IndigoBlu, Country View Crafts (the colour Blue), Polka Doodle, SSS Wednesday Challenge, Uniko Studio and Craft Barn  challenges.

    A very effective card Christine, the gentle inking behind the snowflake aperture really draws the eye.

    I do like the way you've used the snowflake negative space to frame the mistletoe! It's lovely. Thanks so much for playing along with our Christmas challenge at Uniko this month!
