Welcome back to Festive Friday! This week’s card features the Everyday Arches Dies, Greetings of the Season Stamp Set, and the Nests of Winter DSP for a soft, wintery holiday look. ❄️ The background, embossed with the Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder and brushed with White Craft Ink, adds the perfect snowy effect. Plus, I’ve added a touch of shimmer using the FREE Sale-A-Bration Night of Navy & Gold Glittered Ribbon! ✨
Let’s take a closer look at this week’s festive design! 🎄

Step-by-Step Instructions
- Create the Card Base: Cut Gray Granite cardstock to 5-1/2” x 8-1/2”, score at 4-1/4”, and fold.
- Emboss the Background: Run a 4″ X 5-1/4″ Gray Granite panel through the Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder, then lightly brush with White Craft Ink for contrast.
- Die-Cut the Arch Frame: Use the Everyday Arches Dies (3rd and 4th largest) to cut Night of Navy and DSP layers, adhere together and attach to the embosssed layer.
- Tie it all together: Tie a Night of Navy & Gold Glittered Ribbon around the embossed layer and make a bow on the right side. Adhere this layer to the card base.
- Stamp the Sentiment: Stamp “Merry” and “Christmas” in Night of Navy ink on the left side of the largest Basic White Stylish Shapes banner. Use Mini Dimensionals to attach to the card front, then trim the right edge off of the label.
- Embellish: Attach 3 white Neutrals Adhesive-backed Sequins for a snowy finish!
Why I Love This Design
This card has sophisticated elegance with minimal effort! The Everyday Arches Dies create a beautiful frame, and the embossed snowflake background gives a subtle, frosty effect. Plus, the Nests of Winter DSP provides a soft and serene winter scene, making this card perfect for the holidays!
