Peace on Earth

I wish you a happy hello on this beautiful day! What have you been up to? I'm absolutely up to my ears in snowflakes. Not the cold kind that you sled in, because we don't get snow where I live, but the frilly and frosty paper ones that I make every year around this time for my Christmas cards. I start early with my cards because time seems to fly during November and December, and I'm also childishly excited over the Christmas holiday.

I'm blessed to be posting on the Maja Design Blog today, which is perfect because I never use anything but Maja Design papers for my snowflakes. It stays intact despite the delicate nature of the die cuts, and is perfect for layering into these dimensional flakes. For this first card of the season I've chosen the fabulous Vintage Frost Basics Collection.

The base of the card is formed as usual, by distressing, layering, and stitching the design papers. I'm sticking with just two colors this time around, because soft blues and whites create a wonderful chilly feeling when used together.

There are no flowers this time (which rarely happens for me), but instead an arrangement of layered snowflakes topped off with a bit of white sand texture paste for a truly frosty finish. Icy branches and tiny snowballs enhance the frozen effect.

A little bow graces the corner, simply because I love them and feel like nothing is finished without one.

Below is a peek at the interior of the card.

Thank you so much for visiting! I hope you're having a wonderful day filled with crafty goodness and plenty of Maja Design loveliness.

Hugs,
