First up is this festive card using Background Blocks: Scattered Polka Dots. When I was designing this stamp it reminded me of a snow flurry. So I was inspired to pair it with Stunning Snowflakes, one of my favourite colours and my favourite snowflake trio!

I heat embossed the scattered polka dot background with VersaMark and Cosmic Shimmer Detail White EP. I masked off a section before doing so, to create a space for my sentiment. The snow flakes are stamped in Altenew ink and fussy cut out. I added a tin bit of bling to each snowflake to finish them off.

Next I was inspired by the current challenge over at
Seize the Birthday HERE. Their current challenge is a seize the toppings challenge…
Our “Toppings” option this time is…
“Ocean Colors”
(Blue, Green and or Aqua)
Neutrals are always welcome too!
I pulled out Background Builders: Seeing Stars and a trio of Altenew inks to match the ‘Ocean Colours’ theme. I decided to make a masculine card too, so added some neutral grey’s to the combo.

It was almost a one layer card, but I went back and trimmed a small slither off the bottom of the panel to add some neutral grey strips of card. This helped to tie in the grey of the stamped sentiment and small stars.
Lastly, I decided to ink up Reach For The Stars…

My Design Team have inspired me so much this week with their colourful rainbow cards using this set, I decided I should join in! Super CAS and simple. An ink blended die cut square and some sparkly embossing on the base layer!

Another wonderful selection of inspiration Bev! Totally smitten by the colours and layout of that first card 💜 Great bundle offer too, sure to be a winner!
I love how you used the polka dots as snow; that’s a very pretty card. I also love the designs in the stars, so beautiful. Gorgeous release.
Bev – this release is just fantastic. I love the soft snowy background with the pretty snowflakes (my faves), the lovely rainbow box with all those stars, but it’s the blue, green and grey birthday card that’s my favourite here. xxx
