To help make the snowflake sturdy, I started with white cardstock, and then used my Xyron to add adhesive to my designer paper (from Stampin' Up! - retired) and stuck the paper to the cardstock. I used Tilda with Dalecarlia Biggin. The scallop circle is silver metallic paper from my stash. I finished it off with rhinestones.
The paper is LilyKate by Basic Grey and the stamp is Lucy and Kitty by Sarah Kay. The scallop background is silver metallic paper from my stash and I finished it off with rhinestones.
I received this cute little birdie from Embellish-It along with the paper, I'm Like a Bird and One Fine Day from American Crafts, all available in the store. Don't they look great together. I wanted my bird to stand on a branch, so I used my Cricut Joys of the Season to cut a little branch and used some Prima flowers to embellish the branch. The flowers in the upper right corner are Primas and finished off with Dew Drops and Martha Stewart Branch punches. I used an old Stampin' Up! stamp for the sentiment "It's Your Day."
I wanted to add a little wing to the bird, so I stamped on some green paper and mounted with dimensionals. You can sort of see the shadow in the picture above.

The Relax Flair add some nice dimension to the card. I love the fact that it is part of a collection, so the flair and the paper matches perfectly. The Blue Skies collection is fresh and fun.
...and here is my card...
I used Cookie Girl by Whiff of Joy. I colored her with Prismacolor Pencils and mineral spirits. The designer paper is Figgy Pudding by Basic Grey. JOY was created with Martha Stewart letter stamps.
I wanted to play some more with the 3-D images. It is sort of hard to see in the picture, but you can see the shadows from the layers.
The flower is Prima's Poinsettia and an extra rose to top it off. The base is created with the Martha Stewart Branch punch and a leaf punch. I added a candy cane charm from my stash.
For my first card, I am using Time for Apple Pie by Sarah Kay. The background paper is Euphoria by Basic Grey. Both the stamp and the paper can be found at Embellish-It Scrapbooking. I used my Fiskars border punch for the snowflake borders.
I colored my imaging using Copics. I added a little C1 gray to the green to soften it a bit. I wanted to give a real snowy feel to the card, so I added flock as a base under her feet. I then added some faux snow that I found in a Christmas display last year. The snow is usually used to decorate a home, but I love the feel of falling snow it adds to the picture.
I layered some paper flowers for the embellishment. I used Martha Stewart leaf and branch punches for the flower base. I topped it off with a Hodge Podge brad from Stampin' Up! and finished it off with some charms for a little extra zing. It is hard to see in the picture, but I included Stickles to the flower to add a little more pizazz.
This was a great challenge for this time of year. Instead of Christmas in July, I get summer in December (usually only reserved for those living south of the equator). Here is my "summer" card... 
I used Bathing Tilda and Bathing Ring from Magnolia. The fun, floral, Hawaiian background was purchased from a local shop. The sentiment is from a rub-on kit from Stampin' Up!
I colored my image with Copics, and added just a hint of white gel pen to add some dimension to the image.
The stones are from a collection of shell beads from Walmart.
I carried the theme to the inside of the card.

I used Tilda With Bell and the Bell accessory from Magnolia. The paper is Figgy Pudding from Basic Grey. The fuzzy ribbon is from my stash. I added some jewels to the top and bottom for a little extra bling.
I added white Fun Flock to Tilda's coat collar and bottom. I cut some of the ribbon to plant under Tilda's feet to give the appearance that she is standing in snow.
As I have mentioned before, I have been playing with 3-D. I love that effect on a card. I even layered the bell to make is pop.
I used my Bigz scallop circle die to cut chipboard and designer paper (Figgy Pudding by Basic Grey). I added a little glitter to each of the scallops. I found some lovely flowers in the bridal section of Michael's.
I used Prismacolor Pencils wtih mineral spirits and a blending stump to color my skaters. I had fun with Tilda's jacket, mixing turquoise and gray to give it a material feel.
This ornament was created with the Stampin' Up! Lattice Bigz Die. I used two pieces of chipboard. The center is part of a plastic notebook divider, originally used to create a punch sampler like the one Stampin' Up! offered at 2009 Convention. This was part of the piece I had left over. I covered the chipboard with two-way glue and glitter. Super simple and beautiful on the tree.
