Frozen Elegance

Hi Crafty Friends,
I am showing off a PREVIEW of the NEW Brass & Bliss Christmas in July Release coming July 23rd with these two winter themed cards featuring Brass & Bliss NEW Falling Snow Stencil 4407 and Frozen Elegance 6x6 Paper Pad 2303. I used older Brass & Bliss Stamp Sets Summer Penguins 35014 (turned into winter penguins) and Snowmen with Presents 3336 that are just two cute not to add to your collection. I created the circle shapes and "flags/banners" with the Brass & Bliss Classic Nested Circle Dies 5002D and Off Set Tag Dies 5605-03D. The sentiments are from the Brass & Bliss Cute Snowmen 3499-02. Please use my links to shop!
