Today I'm sharing a project that I fell in love with. It's not my original idea but it was so fabulous that I could not resist trying it out. The center snowflake on this card is actually suspended in the center of the opening.
I used the 3" Circle Die to cut through the top layer of the card and an additional piece of Whisper White cardstock. The top layer created the circle opening on the card. The second piece I used to layer on the inside, back cover which hides the ribbon I used to hang the snowflake. The new silver ribbon and Frosted Finishes Embellishment give this card real sparkle. The best news about this card, the inside layer of Whisper White cardstock can be removed to reveal the snowflake which can be used by the recipient as an ornament, gift bag decoration or even a gift tag. Gotta love a card that keeps on giving!

I love this card, so much so that I almost made something like it for the hop! I changed my mind because I needed to get busy making 3D items. It is on my list of techniques to try though.
Fab-u-lous!! Love everything about it!
Lisa, this card is just stunning – simple, yet elegant. I love the Festive Flurry stamp set – and the ribbon combination, too! 🙂
