I chose to create two cards for the challenge using Joset's new Snowflake die sets.  There is a second post for this challenge.

This card was designed using the new Snowflake Border and A Way With Words Sentiment.

1.  Begin with a 6-inch square card.

2.  Use a piece of white card stock cut 5 x 6 inches.  Use the Snowflake Border die and die cut the border on both the top (along the 6 inch width) and bottom, with the solid portion of the die along the cut edge. Run through the die cutting machine.  The inside side edge of the border will be cut around, leaving the straight edge along the outside edge.

3.  Cut a piece of white card stock 6 by 1 1/2 inches.  Score around the edges of this piece.  Attach to the center of the 5 x 6 inch piece, between the snowflake borders.  

4.  Use the A Way With Words 'Let It Snow' die cut for the sentiment.  Die cut it using silver metallic Shimmer Sheetz or cardstock.  Glue the sentiment to the middle of card.

5.  Use a piece of the Australian Opal Gemstone Shimmer Sheetz to attach behind the two die cut snowflake borders.  The shimmer sheets create beautiful pastel colors behind the snowflakes when moved side to side.  I did not glue the inside edge of the snow border down.  Attach the snowflake border panel to the front of the card.
