How I Make this Gorgeous Snowflake with Layering Stencils – Snowy Delights – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! – Lincoln UK

Creating with the Snowy Delights Bundle

Today, I’m sharing this beautiful snowflake Christmas card made with the Snowy Delights bundle. This bundle is a real showstopper—it includes a photopolymer stamp set, coordinating layering stencils, and matching dies, giving you endless ways to design wintery cards.

The large layered snowflake on my card is created with the stencil set. There are four stencil layers, and each one comes with a notch at the top. Once you’ve lined up the first stencil, the rest slot easily into place using the same notch marking. It’s such a simple system, yet it gives you a professional, detailed result every time.

The Colour Blends that Make It Shine

For the snowflake in the photo above, I chose a soft but striking palette of Soft Sea Foam, Pool Party, Coastal Cabana, and Pretty Peacock. The colours blend together beautifully and really pop against the darker background, which creates a frosty, winter sky effect.

I also tried another variation using Soft Sea Foam, Pool Party, Azure Afternoon, and Blueberry Bushell. This brighter combination adds a cool, icy feel with a hint of depth from the darker blue tones—perfect for bold Christmas cards.

Adding Sparkle and Sentiment

To finish the card, I added a “Merry Christmas” sentiment from the Greetings For You gold foiled ephemera pack. The gold foiling ties in perfectly with the festive season and adds just the right amount of shimmer.

For a touch of extra sparkle, I embellished the background with gold gems. They draw the eye to the centrepiece snowflake and give the card a polished, celebratory feel.

Why You’ll Love These Layering Stencils

The beauty of the Snowy Delights layering stencils is how easy they are to use while giving such intricate results. The built-in notch system means no guessing or frustration—you simply align and ink each layer, and in no time, you have a stunning snowflake.

Whether you want to make a batch of Christmas cards quickly or take your time experimenting with different colour palettes, this bundle is versatile enough to suit both.
