Clear Card! Snowflake Christmas Idea + Simon’s Holiday Sparkle Hop

A clear card always adds a sense of magic to handmade cards. I used new products from Simon Says Stamp’s new Holiday Sparkle release to make this shimmery design!

The gorgeous Luxe Glitter paper looks amazing when die cut; I used the new Sparkling Snowflake Frame and Trio die set to make the glitzy card front. I added some foiled sentiments with the new Believe plate and Bold Christmas acetate strips.
