- Basic White layer measuring 3 1/8" x 4 3/4" (1" less on two sides than the card front)
- a strip of Basic White cardstock large enough to die-cut six snowflakes from the Chic Dies
- a strip of Basic White cardstock large enough to die-cut 3 of the second-to-smallest squares from Stylish Shapes
- a second strip of Basic White cardstock large enough to cie-cut another 3 second-to-largest squares - this will be ink-blended with Sweet Sorbet
- A piece of Parakeet Party measuring 3 7/8" x 5 1/2" (1/4" less on two sides than the card front) to use as a mat layer on the inside
- A piece of Basic White measuring 3 3/4" x 5 3/8" (3/8" less on two sides than the card front) to use on the inside
- Glue together the smaller piece of Parakeet Party and Basic White cardstock to create a card-topper. Stamp your sentiment in VersaMark ink in the bottom left corner and heat emboss in silver.
- Using a Blending Brush and Sweet Sorbet ink, apply ink to one of the strips of Basic White cardstock and using either the small or medium Water Painter, splatter water and dry off with a piece of paper towel. This will give a lovely textured background.
- Die-cut three squares using the second-to-smallest die from Stylish Shapes from the ink-blended cardstock. Die-cut three more of the same size in Basic White cardstock and glue one of each together for added stability and dimension to end up with three squares.
- Die-cut six snowflakes from the Chic Dies and glue two together so that you end up with three single snowflakes. This will give dimension and strengthen each snowflake. Inked each up with VersaMark ink and dip them into Silver Embossing Powder and heat set. Allow each to cool a little and repeat for all three.
- Glue a snowflake to each square and trim.
- Glue these down the right-hand side of the card topper allowing equal space between all three. Attach this to the card front using Dimensionals.
- To finish of your card, stamp the snowflake image from the Season of Chic Stamp Set in the bottom right corner of the larger piece of Basic White in Versamark Ink and heat emboss in Silver. This step isn't necessary but will bring the design on the outside to the inside of the card. Glue this and the second, larger piece of Parakeet Party cardstock together and adhere this to the inside of the card.
