Non-traditional Festive Flurry

Today marks the opening of the Festive Flurry – Class of the Month in the classroom.  So I thought I’d make you a clean and simple non-traditional card using this stamp set!  If you like this card – check out the class here.

Creative Tips –

• To pick non-traditional colors, use your color coach for inspiration.  Here you see a combination of Sahara Sand, Pear Pizazz and Early Espresso.  It’s quite contemporary in feel.
• Since this card is a straightforward clean and simple card, you can add some depth by popping up the large snowflake and card front on Stamping Dimensionals.
• The three snowflakes on top were stamped in white, one in each color, with the largest (3rd largest snowflake) stamped in Pear Pizazz and then rock n rolled in Early Espresso.
• You can give a little added fill without competing with the card by adding snowflakes of various size in Pear Pizazz on the Pear Pizazz card stock.
• If you want to add a little sparkle – use your two way glue pen and some Dazzling Diamonds to make the centers of the snowflakes shine.
• To keep with the contemporary feel of the card, this greeting from More Merry Messages is perfect!  You’ll only find it in my online stamp store – not the holiday catalog.
• To cut the snowflakes out perfectly, use the matching Festive Flurry Collection Framelits or get them as a bundle with the stamp set and save 15% here.
