Snow much fun!!

Hello there!!  Is it snowing on you today?!  I haven't seen any of the white, fluffy fun stuff myself, but a couple of my kids have checked in to let me know snow is falling on them!  Ack!!  It is only November!! Seems kind of early to me, but hey why not?!  So, I thought I would pull out my snowflake goodies and make a card to get in on the fun too.  Have you seen the Snowflake Showcase Stampin' Up! just released?!!  I must admit that I almost didn't order it, but then finally did on a whim and OH MY GOOOOODNESSS!!!!  Those thinlits are unbelievable!!  Take a look:

Are those not just spiffy as can be?!!  There are tons of different snowflakes in the set.  I layered 3 for my card today. My card base is Whisper White and my layers are Blushing Bride and Silver Glimmer.  I ran my background piece through the Sparkle Impressions Embossing Folder.  The sentiment is from the Snow is Glistening stamp set and I used the Every Day Label punch to punch it out.

I matted it against Blushing Bride to make it stand out.  Details about that below.  I added a few Silver Glimmer accent dots; using a standard hole punch.

I added a Basic Rhinestone to the center for just a little bit more sparkle.

Here is how I created the matted frame for my Label punch:

You will need to punch two Every Day Label punches.  They should be different colors. 

Cut the one that you would like to be your frame into two pieces longways like so.

Adhere them to the back leaving a small gap between the two pieces.

And there you have it!  Quick, cute and super easy!

Here are all of the goodies that I used to make my snow filled card today:
