I want the snowflakes to look glittery and poufed on the card - I tried embossing with Iridescent Ice but it was too flat - looked like just glitter ... also tried metallic ink and clear embossing but the ink was not glittery enough. Any ideas ?

Stickles will dry flat also...maybe if you sprinkle a little glitter on while the clear embossing powder is still hot? I'm not sure if it will work, but it's worth a try
I would use try metallic ink AND metallic embossing powder. I matched up gold with gold for ornaments I am making. It seems to "pouf" up better with the metallic EP.
There was some puffy white EP at my LSS. I don't know what brand it was or the exact name (sorry!) but it's supposed to be a little puffy when it's heated. You could ask at your LSS if you have one. If not, I can call the store here tomorrow and ask for details.

I don't know how "puffy" you want your snowflakes, but if you want really puffy snowflakes, maybe try using liquid applique and put on some colour matching glitter while it is still wet. When it's dry just heat set it and the sparkles stay put. I have done that for snow and it ends up being puffy and sparkly. Just a thought...
Some scrapbook stores carry Liquid Applique, but some don't. If you are near a Michael's store they carry Tulip "Puffy" paint in the fabric section with all of the other fabric paints. This is what it looks like...

Lots of great suggestions. Please let us know what you did and how it turns out! Anxiously awaiting the results.
