3 Cards using the Snowflake Kisses Bundle

If you’ve ever wished you could make handmade cards that look polished without spending hours in your craft room, you’re in the right place. These 3 Cards using the Snowflake Kisses Bundle by Stampin’ Up!® are all about showing you how to start simple and then step things up at your own pace. Whether you’re brand-new to cardmaking or you’ve been crafting for years, these designs will help you see just how much you can do with a few well-chosen supplies, a touch of creativity, and a little encouragement.

Here’s the thing: so many women tell me they feel stuck between wanting to make cards that look “Pinterest pretty” and not having the time (or the confidence) to try. That’s exactly why I created my Step It Up Stamping series. Each project starts with a Busy Bee version — a clean and simple card anyone can make. Then, with just a few tweaks, we move to a Worker Bee card that adds more detail. Finally, the Queen Bee version shows you how to pull out all the stops and create a true “wow” card, while still keeping the process fun and approachable.

The Snowflake Kisses Bundle by Stampin’ Up!® was the perfect choice for this week’s project because snowflakes are timeless, elegant, and oh-so versatile. I love how they can be as simple as a crisp stamped image or as dramatic as a layered die-cut with shimmer and shine. The color palette I used — Pretty Peacock, Pool Party, and Basic White — captures the cool, cozy feel of winter without feeling heavy. It’s light, refreshing, and perfect for cards that will make your friends and family smile when they open the mailbox.

The Busy Bee version is quick and satisfying: just a pretty strip of patterned paper, a bold color background, and a stamped sentiment that says exactly what you feel. In less than 10 minutes, you’ve got a card that’s ready to send. But maybe you want to add a little more personality? That’s where the Worker Bee card shines. By layering your sentiment, adding a bit of ribbon or embellishment, and playing with dimension, suddenly your simple card has more presence — and you still made it in under half an hour.

And then there’s the Queen Bee card. This is the card you pull out when you want to wow someone special — maybe a dear friend, a teacher, or someone who could use a big dose of cheer this season. Here we bring in the detailed snowflake dies, extra layers, and even more contrast in the colors. It feels like a handmade hug wrapped in paper. What’s amazing is that you’ve gone from beginner-friendly to advanced-looking, but it never feels overwhelming because you took it one step at a time.

That’s the magic of Step It Up Stamping: it’s not about perfection, it’s about progress. Each version of the card is beautiful in its own way, and you get to choose how much (or how little) you want to do. Imagine the confidence you’ll feel knowing you can sit down with one bundle of supplies and come away with three completely different looks. Imagine the connection when you pop one of these cards in the mail and brighten someone’s day. And imagine the relief of knowing you don’t need to buy every tool in the catalog to get started — just a bundle like Snowflake Kisses and a few coordinating colors will do the trick.

So whether you’re sending holiday greetings, winter thank-yous, or just a note to say “I’m thinking of you,” these cards have you covered. My hope is that by the end of this post, you’ll see yourself not just as a crafter, but as a confident cardmaker who knows how to take an idea and make it your own. And the best part? You’ll be reminded that handmade doesn’t have to mean hard — it can be joyful, quick, and oh-so rewarding.
