There’s something so peaceful about winter—the quiet stillness, the sparkle of snow, and the cozy feeling of being wrapped up inside with a cup of something warm. This Happy Winter Card with the Snowflake Kisses Bundle by Stampin’ Up!® captures all of that in paper form. With soft shades of Fresh Freesia, layered snowflake die-cuts, and just a touch of sparkle from frosted iridescent dots, this handmade card feels like a snowy day dream come to life.
If you’ve ever wished your cards could feel as magical as the first snowfall, this is the project for you. The Snowflake Kisses Bundle makes it simple to get that layered, delicate snowflake look without needing a lot of supplies. All you need is your Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine, a few sheets of cardstock, and a little ink using Blending Brushes, and suddenly you’re creating something that looks like it took hours of work. Spoiler alert: it doesn’t!
Here’s what I love about this design. The soft Fresh Freesia ink brushed across the background sets the stage, almost like the glow of winter twilight. Layering the snowflakes on top gives depth and texture, making the card instantly more interesting. And those Frosted Iridescent Dots? They’re like the sparkle of freshly fallen snow, catching the light in just the right way. When you send this card, it’s not just a greeting—it’s a little piece of winter magic tucked into an envelope.

But beyond the pretty details, there’s the transformation that happens when you create a card like this. For a moment, you’re not thinking about your to-do list or the winter chores waiting outside. You’re simply enjoying the process of creating something beautiful. That’s the gift of stamping—it slows you down and lets you savor the joy of making. And when you send this card to someone else, you’re sharing that joy with them, too. Imagine the smile on their face when they open this cheerful Happy Winter card—it’s a reminder that even in the chill of the season, warmth can always be found in connection and friendship.
This project is what I’d call a Worker Bee card. It does take a little extra effort since you’ll be using the Snowflake Kisses Dies with your Cut & Emboss Machine. But the payoff is huge. The detail and dimension of those die-cut snowflakes instantly elevates your card, making it look polished and professional. And because the dies are part of the bundle, everything is designed to coordinate, so you never have to guess whether your sentiment and your images will work together—they just do.
Whether you’re making a small batch of winter cards for friends or creating something special for a holiday thank-you, this design is a great way to showcase how easy it is to step up your cardmaking. It proves that handmade doesn’t have to be complicated to be stunning. With just a few thoughtful touches—ink blending, layering, and embellishments—you’ve got a card that feels as elegant as a snowflake itself.
So, if you’re ready to bring a little winter wonder into your crafting, grab your Snowflake Kisses Bundle and give this Happy Winter Card a try. It’s simple, beautiful, and guaranteed to warm hearts all season long.
