I sat down this weekend and made these fabulous handmade thank you cards using the Snowflake Wishes stamp set from Stampin' Up! These will be going out to customers who order in the next month, or until I run out. I LOVE sending handmade thank you cards to my customers and spoiling them! Be sure to read all the way through this post to find out about my other customer rewards.

Today's post is also part of Kylie Bertucci's Training Blog Hop. There are so many cardmakers participating with lots of fabulous thank you card ideas! You'll definitely want to pop over and check them all out. You'll find the list at the end of this post. 

Ok, on y go! Let's get stamping.

Floating Strip Cardmaking Technique

I was inspired for this modified Floating Strip technique by Brandy Cox. The strips of cardstock are actually adhered to a piece of window sheet and then I used Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere them all to the card front.

These cards are done in Coastal Cabana, Fresh Freesia, Pool Party, and Highland Heather. I stamped a flurry of snowflakes using the stamps from the Snowflake Wishes stamp set in these colors on a piece of Basic White cardstock as the center. 
The Snowflake Wishes stamp set from Stampin' Up! is perfect for creating winter thank you cards. Plus, see the floating strip technique.

Stenciling with Blending Brushes

Before slicing the pieces of Coastal Cabana, Fresh Freesia, Pool Party, and Highland Heather into strips, I used the snowflake stencil from the Adoring Designs Decorative Masks and my blending brushes to add snowflakes in the same colored ink as the cardstock. I let the intensity of the color vary giving a nice snowy look to the cardstock.

I decided to keep two strips of the same color in order so that the large snowflakes were more visible. The strips are 1/2" and 3/4" wide.
