If Mother Nature doesn't oblige with a white Christmas this year, keep the dream alive with beautiful card design. So easy to create with two colours of paper and just a few punches, this would be great for batch cards when your recipient list just doesn't seem to be going down quick enough!

Punched Snowflake Christmas Card from Fiskars®

1 With the SureCut™ Personal Trimmer, cut blue paper slightly smaller than card blank.

2 Use a ShapeBoss™ and Winter Stencil to emboss snowflakes at random on the paper, then sand to expose the white core of the sheet.

3 Create an aperture in the centre of the blue paper using Everywhere Window Punch™ - Scalloped Circle.

4 Emboss a large snowflake on a scrap of white paper and fix behind the aperture.

5 Create the Snowbubble border around the edge of the blue paper using the 2-in-1 Corner Border Punch. Also punch a border from white, and tear to create a snowy scene. Match up with the design on the blue paper and fix as shown.

6 Ink around the edges with a brown pad and fix to the card blank using double-sided tape. Stamp the 'Merry Christmas' sentiment as shown.

7 Decorate with self-adhesive gems, glitter highlights and a bow to finish.
