Here is a simple snowflake wishes card with pizzazz. I used the Snowflake Splendor Bundle and a discovery that made me do a snowflake twirl. Remember yesterday’s promise?
TIP:
The 2nd largest Stitched Nested die layers perfectly with the snowflake frame. Die-cut out the snowflake frame from the So Many Snowflake dies. Then carefully layer the stitched frame over the top and run through the Cut & Emboss Machine. I may have just scratched the surface of the versatility of the So Many Snowflakes dies. hmmm
And I have a new snowflake song from Patti Page today. Cue up Pretty Snowflakes.

Now I am going to give you all the source of the best chocolates in the world. The company is “Snowflake Chocolates”. They are located in Jericho, VT USA – but ship all over. This family-owned business is multi-generational and truly has the best chocolates. They have a Bentley Snowflake chocolate bar that looks amazingly like the large snowflake in the So Many Snowflake dies. Here is a direct link . Now, I know you are going to ask which chocolate confection is my favorite. I can only say that I love them all and I have over-eaten most of them. As I age I am much smarter and select only one per visit. So, if you like supporting small family-run businesses, check this one out and order some today!

What a sparkly delightful card ! Great detailed directions and you have tempted me with the Snowflake Choclate Co.
Oh, you will so thank me when you taste Snowflake Chocolates. I just had a Grand Manier truffle. Sigh. Super Yummy. And I have friends who I suspect visit me when they know I have sea salt caramels.
Beautiful shine and shimmer! I love how you’ve layered this with the thin black border – really helps bring my eye to your sentiment. Love this card, Ann!
Thank you very much for your comment.
