Hubby got me a new stamp set for Christmas (well actually I bought it and he wrapped it...haha!!) called Delicate Pines (SU!) that uses greenery (pine needles) for snowflakes and I couldn't wait to play with it! Take a look...
I started by stamping the largest snowflake in Boho Blue ink and then stamped over it with the medium snowflake stamp in Misty Moonlight ink. The center of the snowflake was stamped with Night of Navy ink using the smallest snowflake, and I just love how all 3 layers came together!
I used The Greetery's Nordic Circle & Rectangle Dies to cut out the snowflake and the top panel, and then layered them over a piece of Misty Moonlight cs and a white card base. The snowflake has foam tape behind it to pop it up and add some dimension. The sentiment (part of the Delicate Pines stamp set) was stamped in Night of Navy and a few clear sequins and a iridescent gem finished off my card.
If you're ready to get started on 2026 Christmas cards, check out all the beautiful inspiration from the talented DT right HERE and then play along. This challenge is open till Thursday, Jan. 15th @ 8:00PM.
Thanks for stopping by today ... I love it when you do!

Marcia, this is gorgeous with the beautiful, layered stamps and rich blues! Very gorgeous, Girl!
Ooooooo, beautifully colours and the positioning of your stamping and die-cutting is fab-u-lous, Jo x
What a pretty snowflake, Marcia! I love how you used different shades of blue and how perfectly it goes with the Nordic borders! That's how hubby does his shopping here too!
So pretty!! We both have hubby's that need us to supply the gift ... and they do the wrapping. It's a sweet gig! :) Everybody wins. :) I love your new stamp set ... you did an amazing job of showcasing it with your beautiful design Marcia! xx

This is beautiful, Marcia! I love the layered snowflake, and the nordic designs frame it perfectly. Just lovely, my friend.
Starting your 2026 Christmas cards now is such a smart move. That monochromatic blue palette is stunning, and layering the three different shades (Boho Blue, Misty Moonlight, and Night of Navy) gives that snowflake so much depth. The Nordic Circle dies really tie the whole winter theme together beautifully.
I just shared a new post you are invited to read.
Wowie, that is such a gorgeous and delicate snowflake, and I love your layered colors! The Nordic frame is absolutely perfect for it. You always pull your cards together so beautifully. I need to start on my cards as well, but I'm behind in everything right now. Life, sheesh!
This is such a gorgeous stamp set and I love the pairing of those fabulous snowflakes and Nordic dies. The blues are perfect.
