Who doesn't love snowflakes? Christmas and snowflakes go so well together that despite the non-traditional colour scheme, this card is still Christmassy. (not sure if that is a word!) This card works well is you want a design that is quick and easy. Create one or twenty in a short amount of time. Make sure you scroll down for the full instructions to print or download.
Make it yourself:
I used Stampin' Up!'s Layering Circles to die cut the circle on the Whimsy and Wonder designer series paper. The Night of Navy cardstock then shows through. Alternatively, you could punch out a circle. You could also add a Night of Navy circle on top of the patterned paper instead - it will give a slightly different look and you will need to decide what you like best.
The Wonderful Snowflakes come in a package of 24 - so enough to make lots of cards.
Using different designs in the patterned paper would look wonderful as well. Try it yourself and be sure to post a picture in the comments.
