You’re sure to enjoy making these 3 Cards using the Snowy Delights Decorative Masks by Stampin’ Up!® It’s a fun way to easily create stunning, wintry handmade cards. If you’ve ever wanted to capture that frosty sparkle of falling snowflakes, these masks make it simple. Start with one mask and some ink, then step it up by adding layers, shimmer, or even embossing paste. Paired with the Traditional Labels Bundle for your greetings and the Lights of Aurora Paper for extra color, you can go from clean and simple to detailed and dimensional in just a few steps.
What I love most about the Snowy Delights Decorative Masks is how versatile they are. Use one, two, or all four together to create different snowflake looks. Play with inks, embossing paste, or even blending brushes to change up the feel. And since they pair beautifully with the Traditional Labels Bundle, you always have the perfect sentiment to finish things off.
No matter which version you make—Busy Bee, Worker Bee, or Queen Bee—these cards will bring joy to anyone who finds them in their mailbox this winter.

Supplies You’ll Need
These are the basic supplies you’ll need for each of the 3 cards. You can find the complete detailed supply list at the bottom of this post.
The Busy Bee Card
Quick & Easy when you want to fill up someone’s mailbox with sunshine & love. Perfect for the Beginner Cardmaker.
For the first card, I kept it simple: Pool Party cardstock, a single snowflake from the mask, and a quick ink blend. A stamped sentiment from the Traditional Labels stamp set, cut with one of the coordinating dies, finishes it off.
That’s it! You get a crisp, clean, snowy card in just minutes. Perfect when you want to send handmade but don’t have a ton of time.
Why it works:
- One mask + one ink color = instant impact
- Quick to reproduce in multiples

The Worker Bee Card
When you have a bit more time and supplies to put into a very special project for that special someone. Perfect for the Confident Cardmaker.
For the second card, I stepped it up by using three of the snowflake mask layers together for more detail. I also added strips of the Lights of Aurora Paper behind the snowflake panel, which gave the card a fun pop of color. A little ribbon trim and a popped-up sentiment with Stampin’ Dimensionals finished the look.
This card has more depth without feeling fussy—and it’s still fast to put together.
Why it works:
- Layered stenciling adds dimension and color
- Lights of Aurora Paper strips bring a fun pop of color
- Ribbon accent adds softness and depth
- Wink of Stella on the snowflake adds some winter sparkle
The Queen Bee Card
When you have the time and supplies to take your project right over the top. Give yourself bragging rights – perfect for the Experienced Cardmaker!
For the final card, I pulled out all the stops. I added the Traditional Wreath 3D Embossing Folder to the background for a raised, realistic texture. Multiple snowflake mask layers were inked in Pool Party and Lost Lagoon, and then covered with Wink of Stella for wintery sparkle. A few adhesive gems scattered around the snowflake make it sparkle even more, like freshly fallen snow.
This card is the one you’d give when you want a true “wow”—or maybe keep on display because it’s just that pretty!
Why it works:
- Multiple layers of masking = intricate detail
- Pretty paper, ribbon, and gems bring elegance
- Embossed card base adds another layer of richness
- The Traditional Layers Dies add an additional focal point for the sentiment
