I pulled out Karen Burniston's Short Rectangles Crosshatch (which I use a TON) and die cut the two note card fronts with the largest die in the set. Overlaping them in the center was fine as I knew the large snowflake would cover the seam. Perfect! To separate the copper snowflake from the background, I added two crosshatch banners (also dies by KB) cut from white cardstock. Again, that snowflake covered up the seam in the center.
The snowflake is one I bought to work with the Magic Iris die, since I knew I could use it independently as well. The smaller snowflake in the center actually embosses the stitched snowflake rather than cut it. I added a silver snowflake on top of the stitching, and finally a silver embossed sentiment with some gems.
The sentiment was stamped on another size crosshatch rectangle, and I die cut some of the gifts from scraps of leftover plaid note card from the card front. Lots of shimmer and sparkle on this card, which I love in a holiday card.
This is the second card in my series 12 Months of Christmas - and I will be back again next month with another Christmas card for the series.

I have been asked how many cards I make but I didn't have a clear number. Since many of my posts include more than a single card or project, I thought it would be fun to keep track this year.
