Dazzling Snow Makes for Happy Days and Simple Joys

Non-Traditionalist here!
I love creating with unusual colors and pops of glitter.
The unicorn-bright colors for this card all come from the
Kreaxions Sparkle Duo Paper. This two sided paper has
an opalescent finish with bits of sparkle.

To duplicate the gold glitter snowflakes:
Step 1: Cut a 3" circle using the Kreaxions Circle Cutter.

Scattering Holiday Cheer with Kreaxions' Snowflake Punch

The last week before winter break is such a hurry scurry of school events. Parent-teacher conferences, choir concerts, and exams jockey with shopping, baking, and holiday plans. It was no surprise that my eldest rushed down the stairs this morning exclaiming, "Mom, Mom, I need Christmas cards for all my teachers!!!" I knew I needed a quick, cute, and easy to reproduce design, not to mention limited to supplies on hand.

Today is reveal day on the Just Imagine blog. Stop by and see how the other team members have interpreted this months theme:

Winter Blues

I love this snowflake paper from the Craft Smith paper pad Crystal Frost. 

It pairs perfectly with Kreaxions punch #312.

~ Snow Owl ~

For this card I punched two 6" strips of paper to frame the center of the card. I also punched the top and bottom edge of the center piece using insert A to make #312 into a border punch.

Snowflake Card

Winter windows just aren't complete without a few paper snowflakes. I never was very good at getting my folds exact so that all six sides of my design matched. This winter I discovered how to make snowflakes with my Kreaxions punches.

 Problem Solved!!!

Tutorial:

To begin this project you will need a circle cutter, protractor, punch #301, and scissors.

Step1:

Cut a 5 inch circle from Cardstock.

Divide the circle into 12 sections. 

This is easiest to measure at 30 degree intervals with a protractor.

Step 2:

Punch every other line with Punch #301, 

centering the punch exactly each time.

Step 3:

Cut the circle again with the Circle Cutter set at 4 inches.

Step 4:

Punch the in between lines with Punch #301.

Step 5:

Trim the outside set of punch marks.

I curved mine toward the center, as drawn on the paper.

It may take a few tries to get the hang of punching exactly on the lines. 

If your first few tries come out a little damaged cut them in half and use them as layers, peaking out from behind a photo or card sentiment.

Supplies:

Paper:Recollections
Punch:Kreaxions #301
