snowflake bauble

This card is quite a simple one to make, providing you have a bit of time! Simply cut a circle apperture into a 14 centimetre square card. Chalk the inner edges of the circle, at the front, using a stamp pad and sponge. Open the card. Punch out several snowflake shapes ( I cant say how many you will need, it depends on how you put them together) and stick them over the apperture, interlocking them as you go. (A fine nozzle applicator is quite handy when you are doing this!) Once completed close the card again. Put a piece of scrap card inside and lightly colour some of the snowflakes on the front. Add gems to the larger ones and dotty peel-offs (which can be coloured with a permanent marker) to the smaller ones.

Cut a piece of ribbon long enough to fit from the top of the bauble, over the card front and inside the card about 1cm down. Glue at each end not right along the strip as the glue can mark the ribbon. Tie a bow and stick it to the front of the card as shown. Add a few snowflakes to the front and a Merry Christmas peel-off.

Note; If your snowflakes bow at all put the card in a book and they will flatten!

Good luck! Bye for now, love, Pat x
