I used the Stampin’ Up! Merry Snowflakes stamp set bundle from the upcoming July-December 2021 Mini Catalog (that will be starting on August 3!!) to create a Christmas card to share with you today. I did a video tutorial for this card on YouTube live and you can see it here.

I started by embossing a panel of Basic White card stock with the Evergreen Forest 3D Embossing Folder.  I adhered the embossed panel to a panel of copper paper from the Brushed Metallic Cardstock pack (available August 3) with Stampin’ Seal and then to the Thick Basic White card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Merry Snowflakes stamp set (available August 3) in VersaMark Ink on a panel of Basic White card stock, sprinkled it with copper embossing powder from the Metallics Embossing Powders and then heat embossed it.  I cut the stamped sentiment out with one of the Hippo & Friends Dies and then adhered it with Stampin’ Dimensionals to the card front.

I cut a panel of Be Dazzling 6″ x 6″ Specialty Paper (Sale-a-bration exclusive available while supplies last beginning August 3) with three of the snowflake dies from the Stitched Snowflakes Dies (available August 3) and then adhered them with Multipurpose Liquid Glue to the card front.  I added three Champagne Rhinestone Basic Jewels to finish the card front.

I stamped the sentiment and snowflake images from the Merry Snowflakes stamp set in Soft Suede and Sahara Sand inks on a panel of Basic White card stock to finish the inside of the card
