Step 1

Cut a piece of kraft cardstock to 4" x 6" [10.2 cm x 15.2 cm].

Step 2

Mix some white paint with water so that it's watery, then dip a paintbrush into the paint. Hold the paintbrush over your other hand and tap it over the Kraft cardstock to make "snow". Set aside to let dry.

Step 3

Cut a piece of cardstock to fit through the Sizzix® Big Shot machine. Layer the snowflake dies and the paper and run it through the machine.

Step 4

Adhere the kraft cardstock to the centre of an A7 white card, then adhere the die cut snowflake layers to the centre of the kraft cardstock piece.

Step 5

Lay a strip of black and white check washi tape across the top and the bottom of the card.

Step 6

Adhere a gem to the centre of the snowflake.

Step 7

Stamp "Let It Snow" onto a piece of white cardstock using black ink and cut around the sentiment to make a tag. Be sure to leave enough room for a hole in the top left corner.

Step 8

Punch a hole in the top, left corner of the tag.

Step 9

Wrap some black and white twine around the fold of the card. String the tag onto it, tie the twine in a bow near the top of the card and trim the excess twine.
