Use a SNOWFLAKE(s) on your card! 

I found a HUGE snowflake punch at Michael's right before Christmas, so I used my 40% off coupon and snagged it!! I have been wanting to make a card with it ever since and this was THE perfect challenge to do so! Thanks, Kathy!!


The sentiment is from Papertrey Ink and the main espresso panel was cut out using my favorite rectangle stitched dies from 'Lil Inker Designs. I dug through my stash of designer papers and came across this red plaid pattern - love it! LOVE THIS CARD - hope you enjoy it as well.

I am entering this card into the following challenge:

Lil Patch of Crafty Friends - Anything Goes

The Christmas Challenge - Anything Goes

Come on over to the challenge blog and see what other inspirational creations our super talented design team has in store for you .... link up your card and share the love with us so we can return the favor ;) Happy crafting!

    I LOVE the red plaid snowflake, Lori! It looks warm and cozy! I hope you are warm and cozy. DH says he doesn't know how you can keep warm with those brutally cold temps! Warm hugs.

    Nice punch Lori and I love the plaid DSP, lovely card. When it gets too cold Lori think of us sweltering in 40+ degrees celsius and bushfires all over the place in the last few days, hope it will warm you, expecting some cooler weather tomorrow. Have a fabulous week!
