beautiful blizzard adventures

I am a weather wimp - I very much dislike cold weather, and I believe I have lived in the wrong state for many years.  I appreciate the beauty of snow, though (I just wish it could be warmer), and I loved the new Beautiful Blizzard bundle on sight, when I opened my Holiday Catalog.

I cut the thinlit once with my Big Shot and made four cards by using the negative and dividing the individual snowflakes!
 stamp set - Beautiful Blizzard; ink - Versamark, Blueberry Bushel; Stampin' embosss powder - White; card stock - Shimmery White, Blueberry Bushel; punch - Everyday Label; Big Shot with Blizzard thinlit
 stamp set - Beautiful Blizzard; ink - Balmy Blue; card stock - Shimmery White, Balmy Blue; Big Shot with Blizzard thinlit

stamp set - Beautiful Blizzard; ink - Balmy Blue, Highland Heather; card stock - Shimmery White, Balmy Blue, Highland Heather, Whisper White; Big Shot with Blizzard thinlit

These cards qualify three challenges:
And, yes, I did say four cards - this last one was actually the first one I made after cutting the snowflakes:
 stamp set - Beautiful Blizzard; ink - Blushing Bride; card stock - Shimmery White, Blushing Bride; Big Shot with Blizzard thinlit
I dislike pink almost as much as I dislike cold weather, but it's Breast Cancer Awareness month, and therefore Pink Christmas at Jingle Belles.  Since Lauren and Stef are donating $2 each for every card linked up, I must play along, and you should, too!

What a lovely collection of snowflake designs ... of course we're kind of partial to the PINK one at Jingle Belles.

WOW! What a wonderful and cost effective way to create 4 different cards! Such cleverness!! I think the last is my favourite. Perfect for our challenge using the Holiday Catalogue. So glad you joined in the fun with us at SUO Challenges.
