Hi everyone! I had a little fun with ink blending Distress Oxides and Dies for this A2 size card!
Kitsch Flamingo stamping for the snow and edging with a bit of Picked Raspberry added on the perimeters.
The snow scatter is from an older BPD Celestial Waves stamp set.
I used all three layers of the NEW Birch Press Designs Snowy Circle Layer set. I inked Layer B with a little bit of the pinks.
Skates are super easy to put together! They’re a NEW Memory Box die that I used already a couple weeks ago with a sled and a few other new dies. I loved using them as an embellishment on this card. A little knit cro-sheen for lacing them up.
I forgot to take a picture of the inside but I did finish it! I stamped it with Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide ink in the MISTI with the ‘May the JOY you find this Christmas follow you throughout the year’ sentiment stamp from the NEW poppystamps Christmas Sparkle set.
I got up early this morning to make this pink card! I’d already thought it through and it worked! yay!

I made the next card the other day using the same Snowy Circle set but adding the New Memory Box Nested Globe Bases die to turn it into a snowy snowglobe!
Here I used the NEW Birch Press Design Felicity Snowflakes dies and some Fairy Drops for the background.
I used some Lindy’s Magicals powders to ‘paint’ the snowy circles. I die cut from Smooth Bristol cardstock, spritzed with water and tapped on the powders. The top layer I just painted with the white and water.
I love the sparkle/shimmer it gives the die cuts!
The JOY on both of my cards is trimmed from the NEW BPD Find Joy and Outline die. I just used the JOY part.
The foil cardstock I used is from the Memory Box 6×6 Rainbow Reflections Mirror Pad. This pad has metallic and pearl cardstocks.
On the inside of this second card, I used the same sentiment set but different stamps. This one says ‘May your Christmas truly Sparkle’ and ‘With much Love’. I stamped with Peacock Feather Distress Oxide ink in the Misti and it turned out beautiful. To bad I didn’t take a picture of it!
I didn’t try this for a shaker card but I’m thinking it’d be really pretty made up as one!
Thank you for sticking with me for this long post! I appreciate you stopping by!

Oops, I drooled a little, pardon me. These are simply scrumptious! With or without the snow globe… I do love those skates. I have the Fairy Drops, thanks to you, and I really like them.
Pam: Both Christmas cards are spectacular!!! Those dies are terrific! This is the first time I’ve heard of the company, Birch Press Designs, too. Hard to believe. Amazing cards! Thanks for linking to THICC! –Becca/DT
