I thought the nine rectangular panels were perfect for patterned paper and I chose three different papers from the SU! Snow Festival pack. I cut the rectangles with a Nestie die, glued the panels to a Gumball Green mat layer and added the ribbons. I die cut the snowflake four times, once using Silver Glimmer Paper and three times using Whisper White CS and stacked the layers together so I could get a fairly chunky chipboard look to the snowflake. I stamped and die cut the banner and attached the snowflake and banner to the mat layer with a Build a Brad. I then glued the mat to a Cherry Cobbler A6 size card base. I added Dimensionals underneath the banner.
Here's
the inside and the envelope where I used more of the fun patterned
papers. I used markers to ink up the sentiment stamp to get the three
different colours.

I really like the papers and the way you've tied all the parcels together. Thanks for the tip about making the snowflake - must try this out! As always, the inside and envelope are just lovely!
I really like the sketch - it's ideal for using some of those scraps. I like how you used different patterns for each row, and the way you tied the ribbons is a fun detail!
Fun way to use those papers Ruth and I am in LOVE with your snowflake. Hugs D
Hi Ruth, love your use of those gorgeous papers, and thanks for the snowflake idea-will be trying that one! Sorry I've not been around for commenting so much and will be away for much of August but I always love the stuff you do for 52CCT

Oooo, that snowflake is awesome! LOVE the patterned papers you used! This is so bright and fun! HUGS and have a great week!
I like the way you made three rows of patterns wrapped with ribbons. This is a really pretty take on the sketch; I really like the patterns on the paper and the glittery snowflake!
