Snowflakes Without the Snow: Holiday Cards in Green

Every once in a while, a holiday stamp set comes along that I fall instantly in love with—and this one had me at snowflakes! The only catch? Living in Florida, it sometimes feels a little funny to send snowflake-covered cards when the closest thing we get to snow is sand on the beach.

That’s why this set is such a gem—it bridges the gap beautifully! Snowflake designs with an evergreen twist. ❄️🌲 The look is festive, versatile, and perfect for those of us who want winter vibes without pretending we just stepped out of a snowstorm.

For this design, I stamped the snowflakes in shades of green, but you could easily make them feel more traditionally “wintery” with icy blues or even frosty purples.

Tips for Creating the Look

✨ Layer your greens

The main snowflake is built using four different stamps in three different greens—Shaded Spruce, Old Olive, and Mossy Meadow. Mixing shades adds depth and interest without overwhelming the design.

✨ Distress the edges

To help the snowflake stand out against the white-on-white layering, I roughed up the edges of the cardstock. The slight distressing gives texture and creates a subtle frame for your focal point. Dimensionals also help lift the design and add shadow for more definition.

✨ Finish with pine

A stamped pine branch pulls everything together, grounding the snowflakes and giving the card that timeless holiday feel.

Here are two more cards made with the the Elegant Pines Suite Collection. I was able to use the dies right on the DSP to cut out the Pine Snowflakes! Easy and beautiful!
