Snow Far, Snow Good!

It's been unseasonably hot here in the Northeastern USA, and thus the brilliant job you've all done on snowy cards is especially appreciated. If you've not yet checked out the Readers' Gallery, we highly recommend a little scroll through all of the fine and frozen inspiration! In the meantime, here are three cards that especially caught our eye:

Pinky of Pinky's World Projects

...added the snowy theme to a softly beautiful Country Christmas vibe; and the result is exponentially more lovely!

Helen of Made by Helen 

...embraced a navy and white color palette and let her intricate (but un-fussy) diecuts take center stage in this triumph of CAS simplicity!

Fabiola of Mon P'tit Monde

...created the illusion of a complete snowy landscape with just clever inking, a scattering of tiny snowflake diecuts, and perfect placement of those handsome reindeer!

Walking in a SNOWY Wonderland

We're still creating cards that feature snow this week and we'd love for you to join us. In the meantime, here's how we walked in a SNOWY wonderland.

Lauren's Other Card

Lauren says, "One of my favorite "specialty" mandalas to draw is a Snowflake Mandala. So of course, when I realized we were featuring SNOW this fortnight, I knew this would be the perfect time for the first one of 2026. I made a nice inky background with some of my favorite blue Archival Ink shades, dried it thoroughly, and then drew lots of snowflakes with a Letter It Fineliner. I added details with a few blue markers and finally put additional white in there with a Posca Pen. Since the design is quite busy already, when I turned my mandala panels into cards, I only added bright blue mats, a chunky (sparkly!) sentiment and some small Eyelet Outlet Snowflake Bling."  

Stephanie's Other Card

Stephanie says, "I started by embossing white cardstock with the Penny Black Geometric Embossing Folder, which I thought sort of looked like tiny snowflakes.  Next I added a lovely snowy scene from Penny Black Masterpieces Made Simple Home for Christmas that I framed with red cardstock that I cut using the Penny Black Stitches of Love Creative Frame Dies.  I added a green frame with designer paper whose plaid pattern repeated the embossed design.  I finished with a sentiment from Penny Black Banner Sentiments."

♥♥♥

And remember, one lucky participant will receive this fun snowy gift. All you need to do is link up a SNOW-centric card (or more than one, if the snowy spirit moves you!) on the original post and wait to see if the Random Number Generator picks your digit! Winner to be announced on the Shout Outs Post, Thursday, May 21st. 

Dashing Through the Snow

For our next Jingle Belles prompt we're asking you create projects that celebrate the white fluffy flakes of snow … it might be snowmen, snowflakes or just snowfall, but include some snow on your cards.

Here's how we are dashing through the snow this week.

Stephanie's Card

Stephanie says, "I started by cutting the entire Kristina Werner Snow Flurries Dies from Lawn Fawn Pixie Dust sparkle cardstock.  After I positioned them on my glittery purple textured handmade paper card base, I went back and cut two of the smaller snowflakes a second time to fill in the remaining space.  I finished with a stamped sentiment from the Kristina Werner Snowflake Season Easy Repeat Background Stamp set attached with foam tape for dimension.  It's really card to capture in a photo, but the all-over glittery sparkle is magnificent."

Lauren's Card

Lauren says, "I still have a few well-hoarded Penny Black Masterpieces Made Simple journal-style cards and this one fit the prompt perfectly. I gave Scrapaholics' Elegant Frame a quick coat of white Dina Wakley MEdia Acrylic Paint, added it to my snowscape, adorned the whole thing with Eyelet Outlet 1.5" Snowflake Bling (the same as in our little blog candy prize pack!) and popped the whole thing onto a piece of Photoplay's Solids + paper with earth-toned snowflakes, et voila!"

♥♥♥

But wait, there's more:

One random lucky participant will receive this fun snowy prize package, just for linking their newly made snowy card(s) with us this fortnight!

 (PS: Just in case you don't win or can't wait, please note that ALL Eyelet Outlet Bling selections are currently on clearance for just $1.00 each... while supplies last!)
