It's that time of the year to get serious about building the Christmas stash, so quick and easy is how it's going to be this year. I used this retired SU! embossing folder to create the snowflake on white, then added silver Stickles to the tiny outer circles for some sparkle. I used an older Martha Stewart punch to create the smaller red snowflake and added a silver Candi dot to the center. The pre-printed sentiment is from SimonSaysStamp and I fishtailed the ends with a hexagon punch. I placed it on a red card base and called this one done.
Sharing with the following challenges:

Your Christmas card is beautifully crafted! The combination of the embossed snowflake, silver Stickles, and the red snowflake with a silver Candi dot adds a festive sparkle. The pre-printed sentiment and red card base complete it perfectly for a quick and elegant holiday card.
An elegant card to add to your Christmas pile
Oh my Carol, quick and easy you say but how very elegant. The small red snowflake in the centre of the large draws the eye right in, the brad and gems offer Christmas sparkle and then the bold statement.
Perfect for Allsorts new challenge, as always lovely to have you join us.

LOVE this snowflake Christmas card. Luckily, I still own this lovely embossing folder and it's great for quick makes. xxx
Your snowflake EF certainly makes a beautiful impression here my friend! This is very elegant and stunning and I love that you've made making Christmas easy on yourself! I completely understand that and using some of my stash is important as well! LOL Happy weekend!
Beautiful card and snowflakes, love you made the smaller one red to co-ordinate with the cardstock.

Stunning card, Carol. The embossing is beautiful, I though at first it was a white die cut snowflake. Thank you for joining in the Allsorts Challenge this week using the Christmas option.

Wow Carol, this is one gorgeous snowflake, so beautifully designed. I have been 'missing in action' as I came down will full blown shingles and it has NOT been pleasant!
Thank you for joining our challenge at Can You Handle The Pressure and Peace On Earth!
