What! Snowflakes!

 At our monthly stamp club in Tucson, AZ last month we were given a huge cardstock snowflake as a mystery item to use for the Mystery Swap this month. It came as a punch-out in a circle. We also have to make a matching envelope. I kept thinking about it and finally got this idea.

I actually finished this last week but didn't want to share as I know too many that follow my website attend the club and I want to give out what I did. Our club met this past Saturday.


I cut a 12" square piece of white card stock to 6", folded it in half and traced the circle on it but leaving enough of the fold intact to make the card base.  I then traced the circle on a piece of print paper, cut it out, and adhered to the top of the card base. I then punched out the snowflake, laid it on my envelope and sprayed with a Light Blue Pearl spray so that the snowflake got colored and left its image on the envelope.


I stamped my sentiment using an ink that coordinated with the print paper and used a die that came with the set to cut out the sentiment. I added banner ends by hand cutting. 

Turned out I was the only one who kept the snowflake intact! Most cut theirs apart and used pieces. Great swap!!! 

I enjoy the mystery swaps as I like the challenge (most of the time). Do you enjoy using unusual items on your cards?
