I made three cards for today that use the SNOWFLAKE OVAL FRAME die 99480 in three different orientations.
Let's look at the center one first where I added the MARA BIRD die 99567 on top of the SNOWFLAKE OVAL FRAME.
I started with a red notecard and added a layer of Cranberry Distressed Dots paper. I die cut both the Snowflake Oval Frame and the Mara Bird from white cardstock. I used a glue pen to adhere them to the dotted layer, overlapping a couple of the snowflakes from each one. I added a jaunty red/white dotted bow around the neck of the bird, a flat black gem for its eye, and a few tiny white pearls in the centers of some of the snowflakes.
Here's a closer look at the other two cards.
For the card on the left, the snowflakes are at the top of the oval while the snowflakes are at the bottom on the other card. More pearls dot the snowflake centers. I wasn't sure what to do with the empty space inside the ovals at first. So I pulled out my red-and-white goodies box and chose some tags and poinsettia stickers to finish them up. One could leave them empty or add a sentiment in that space. Perhaps a child's school photo or one of the family pet(s) could be tucked in among the snowflakes. There are lots and lots of possibilities with this die!

Lovely cards. My favorites from this release are all the oval frames, the snowflake (which you showed how you can use it in three directions for lots of possibilities), the forest, the forest clearing, etc. It would be fun to win this die.
