Trio of Frilling Snowflake Ornaments by Jean Okimoto

Snowflakes, glitter glue, jewel gemstones and plaids? Yes, when the new Frilling Snowflake Ornament set makes it easy to combine design elements for a simple holiday slimline card. Hi, Jean Okimoto here with a basic design you can create for anyone on your list.

Cut the dark red and the bright green 6x6's from the Berry Red and Lush Green Collections with the solid Frilling Snowflake Ornament die. Cut the red/white/green diagonal stripe from the Jolly Christmas 6x6 too. Punch holes at the top with a ⅛" circle punch, screwpunch or rotating leather punch.

Cut the snowflake and the snowflake ornament from the gold Rainbow Reflections 6x6 sheet. Assemble the red and green ornaments. Tie them with gold cord and curl the cord using the side of a bone folder or the plastic flower shaping tool. For best results, follow the curl of the cord.

Here's a tip - if you're trying to match a special color but can't find the right shade of glittered cardstock - create a custom match with Open Studio Glitter Glue. Diecut Special Merry Christmas from the same red 6x6 used for the ornament. Shake the bottle of Ruby Crystal Glitter Glue and squeeze a blob of it onto scrap paper. Generously finger-press the glitter glue onto the greeting. Just daub it on - don't try to spread it out. Air-dry it while you assemble the card.

Attach the ornaments to a white slimline card (3-⅝" x 8-½"). Attach the pale green Bright Jewels.

Add the greeting - slightly curved.

The Memory Box 6x6 plaids and prints are designed to coordinate with the 6x6 paper collections, glittered cardstock and mirror cardstock. Mix, match and layer the papers and discover great combinations.
