Hello and happy DIECember! Yes, I intentionally typed DIECember and not December, as DIECember is a month-long celebration of die-cutting founded by Simon Says Stamp. I am excited to join the celebration and bring you creative cardmaking inspiration featuring Simon’s newest products.

I’ve been long on the lookout for a set of snowflake stamps and coordinating dies, I had quite a few card ideas for a set like that, but all the snowflake sets I have in my stash don’t have coordinating dies. I was happy to discover the new Prismatic Snowflakes set from Simon now has a set of coordinating dies. It is like a whole world of cardmaking possibilities opened up allowing me to make all sorts of Christmas and Winter projects.
Speaking of snowflakes, we already had our first snow. One morning Oles and I woke up and Oles insisted there was snow on the rooftops. I debated it wasn’t, it was hoarfrost instead. We agreed to disagree on the matter lol. Anyhow, we did have real snow the next day. So the snowflakes set came at the perfect time!
CARD IDEA
My idea for this card was to create a snowflake blizzard around a center embossed sentiment. Easy to do with coordinating dies! You can replace the sentiment with anything else you like, make it a Winter card or even a winter Birthday!
CARD INSTRUCTIONS
Follow these instructions step by step to re-create this card:
- Heat emboss the sentiment in the center of a Hero Arts Adriatic panel using detail white embossing powder. The sentiment comes from the Stained Glass Greetings set and Tiny Words Christmas set. Trim panel to 4 1/8 x 5 3/8″.
- Heat emboss various size snowflakes from the Prismatic Snowflakes set in white embossing powder on Simon’s Fog and Audrey Blue, and Hero Arts Arctic cardstock panels. Cut snowflakes out using coordinating dies.
- Arrange snowflakes on the sentiment panel surrounding the sentiment. Adhere die cuts in place with the help of glue and foam adhesive. Layer some snowflakes up to create an additional dimension.
- Trim excess and foam mount panel to A2 white side folding card base.
- Color snowflakes using a clear shimmer pen to add shine. Embellish snowflake centers with silver jewels. Embellish background with silver sequins, add dots using a white pen.
This is an easy card to make, even one that would be easy to mass-produce, no coloring, just lots of heat embossing and die-cutting. Have fun crafting!

What beautiful colors on your card. And I don’t think I would have been drawn to that sentiment set if I had not seen it on your card. Very nice!
This is such a great card. Love the design!
Wow!
OMG! Your joy card is so adorable!

Your card is gorgeous! I love the colors you used! Beautiful!
I always enjoy your work and this card is no exception. I am really liking these prismatic snowflakes.
I love the blizzard you have on your card. I don’t want to be in one though. I purchased those Prismatic stamps last month and I can’t believe they came out with the matching dies. Yay! I sure would like to own those as well.
Lovely card, love the colors and the dimension. Laura B. would be proud of you!
Your card is beautiful! One of my favorites from the Blog Hop. Now I’m going over to follow you on Pinterest! Can you say “stalker”? LOL!

Oh Yana!!! I LOVE this card!!! Beautiful!!!
Wow – love the blues you used, The Adriatic background color is just perfect
I like how the lines on the Prismatic Snowflakes complement the style on the Stained Glass Greetings. I have both of these and didn’t think of combining them that way. I like the contrast of the white lines against the colored background on both. Well done!
It’s the most beautiful blizzard! Gorgeous card and I love this release…plus you used my favourite sentiment set.
Great card – love the colors and all the snowflakes ❤️

I loved the slimline Christmas card from a few weeks ago. And enjoy the inspiration from all the Simon Says artists.
