Snowflake Zig Zag Card


Today I'm sharing another holiday card and this one uses the Circle Zig Zag die set by Studio Light.  I knew I wanted to use it with 'scenic' patterned paper and I'm so happy with how this turned out!




I love the prints on this patterned paper, but after working with it for awhile I am finding a few issues. It's coated, so if you stamp on it you have to allow for drying time so your ink won't smear. I just used dye inks, but one could also heat emboss their sentiments.  

The paper is also really thin so glue lines show through and it has a tendency to buckle or wrinkle. Things to keep in mind! I didn't want to add a signing block inside, since I love how the scene sort of flows across the card. So instead I added one to the back, using the included layering dies in the set.


I added die cut snowflakes as well as a large iridescent snowflake and the sentiment was hot foiled. I love how nicely this card will stand for display!


Having been asked how many cards I make I thought it would be fun to keep track this year. Many of my posts include more than a single card or project and below is my tally.
