10 more cards for the Christmas Card challenge; these are for March.
-These were so easy; punch the snowflakes leaving enough room on the cardstock to punch a circle where you just punched the snowflake. Stars are from the Snowflakes #2 Cuttlebug die. AleeneÂ’s tacky glue was used to attach them to the white panel
-The 1/8” strip of glitter paper was glued to the punched border panel.
Envelope:
I made a stencil from scrap paper slightly larger than the envelope and sponged on the snowflakes; repositional tape on the backside was used to hold it in place. Since I needed ten it helped to pencil mark the backside of the stencil so lining up the envelope was very easy.
Tools: Martha Stewart Simple Scallop border, Glacial snowflake punches, Cuttlebug Snowflake #2 die, Scor-Pal, EK Success 1 ¼” circle punch

The addition of the stars really adds a lot to the strip with the snowflakes - it is kind of the 'unexpected' to me. It always amazes me to see how much elegance the details of scoring and paper texture adds to a design. tfs
