I know this is an older video, but I was scrolling Christmas cards and this one stopped me in my tracks! It’s stunning. The color, the snowflakes and the application. What a great card. I’m definitely giving this a try with the snowflakes I have. Thank you Helen for doing this video.

[@handcraftedbyhelen1963]

Thank you so much Maggie, I really appreciate your comments 💚💜💛

[@janicehilton8884]

Here it is 2018 and your 2016 card is as exquisite as any on the card sites. It's beyond gorgeous. Thank you so much for doing this card for us.

[@handcraftedbyhelen1963]

Thank you janice, I will have to see what I can come up with for 2018 ♡♡♡

[@lindacampbell320]

Your card is going to make the person receiving it say “WOW.” Totally worth all the extra time to make. Thank you for your video.

[@handcraftedbyhelen1963]

Thank you so much Linda 🌻🎄🌹

[@MMGARC]

Helen, this card is simply Stunning! So patient and talented! I'm saving this video and going to give it a try! Thanks so much for sharing it with all of us!

[@Tiffany.Solorio]

I started out cardmaking about 7 years ago as time went on I started scrapbooking and now I love mixed media but i have really been missing doing cards. I have been trying to do more lately. I can not wait to binge watch your videos. Thank you for sharing your takent!

[@handcraftedbyhelen1963]

Tiffany I have just recently discovered mixed media and been having a go at some of that style of cards, want to try some canvases but me and my us and do vintage and shabby chic crafts to sell, as well as both work full time, our Facebook page avintagetouch16/Facebook, I haven't videoed any of that, so might have to put the mixed media canvases on a back burner, can't do everything lol. Thanks for doing 'the getting started with KZbin', they are very informative.

[@devilblueduke]

I started around 7 years too but only made 50 cards. I been buying more than making em.

[@angelaf5040]

This is just gorgeous! So very happy I found this in time to use in my Christmas cards this year! Just beautiful! I LOVE the purple, its very elegant looking!

[@handcraftedbyhelen1963]

Tgank you so much Angela, glad you liked it

[@bobbikuhn3496]

What an amazing card. You did a great job showing us how you did it. Thank you for sharing your talent.

[@handcraftedbyhelen1963]

Thank you Bobbi 💛💚💜

[@mddell58]

*Making this card, convinced me immediately to subscribe.* Not many people have the patience, or endurance to finish this card. *Gorgeous card!* I will have to watch all of your other card making tutorials. *Thank you!!*

[@handcraftedbyhelen1963]

Thank you D Hoosier, welcome, I hope you enjoy the rest 💛💚💙

[@kiethannhurt6881]

WOW! such a beautiful Christmas card. Love that you used purple on White.

[@handcraftedbyhelen1963]

Thank you Kiethann, I too liked this colourcombo, not traditional but striking contrast. 💙🌸💚

[@danieldunton5080]

Thank you so much, Helen, for giving us so many "classy" rather than cute cards. Male card makers such as myself aren't really into making cards that are so obviously for children. Many of your cards are easy to copy or create from, yet are very elegant to send.

[@handcraftedbyhelen1963]

Thank you so much for your lovely comment Daniel, every now and then cute is ok, but I much prefer the classic cards.

[@cbliss4046]

What an absolutely gorgeous card! Will definitely be using that technique on cards for a variety of occasions, but most definitely for Christmas. Beautiful!

[@handcraftedbyhelen1963]

Thank you xo much Clair 🌻💙🌹

[@bethhansen821]

Another beautiful card (love the beautiful delicate designs of your snowflakes) and the purple glitter is dazzling. Thanks!

[@handcraftedbyhelen1963]

Thank you so much Beth 🌷🎄🌻

[@cre8tive_one]

Absolutely stunning card, I love the non traditional color you used.

[@handcraftedbyhelen1963]

Thank you so much Tania, I do like non-traditional colours for a change

[@elswalleyn5044]

Thank you Helen for giving us all these beautiful X-mas cards. Wish you a merry Christmas and a good start in 2018 ❄️

[@handcraftedbyhelen1963]

Thank you so much Els, Merry Christmas to you and yours 🎄🎄🎄

[@cherylcullen9087]

Hey Helen!! What a stunning card!! I really love the none traditional color Christmas cards everyone on you tube are making this Christmas season!! But I think yours is my favorite...I love purple and snowflakes!! Thanks for sharing Helen!! Merry Christmas!!

[@handcraftedbyhelen1963]

Thank you Cheryl, for your lovely comment, merry Christmas to you too.

[@amberhoy9697]

I love, love the purple and white! Gorgeous card :)

[@handcraftedbyhelen1963]

Thank you so much 🎄🎄🎄

[@4ABDesigns]

I just watched your video here for the first time and was awe-struck. Was also very happy to see a different way to use this die set. It is one we have and have yet to use it although on one card. I absolutely love the end result thank you so much for sharing.

[@handcraftedbyhelen1963]

Thank you, I appreciate the feedback, glad you liked it 💛💚💙

[@sherriejohnson9250]

I just watched my first video by you last evening. I had been doing a search on Pinterest and a card of yours popped up. My oh my...I don't know how I haven't heard more about you and your wonderful creations! I'm hooked...lol! I subscribed to your blog last night. What a wonderful blog you have! And now I'm subscribing to your KZbin channel. Please, please continue to share your gift of creation with all of us. This card is so lovely. I have a set of snowflake die cuts that I've not done much with. This is very inspiring to me. However, I am done with making my Christmas cards for this year...but I'll be certain to do this next year. I take away technique ideas from my favorite card creators to use year round. I learn wonderful techniques and put them to use with other die cuts...and my Cricut die cut machine to create my own things. I learned something new here. I love how you glued your die cut layer onto the glitter BEFORE removing the die cut. How ingenious you are! Really...even though the large die cut is very intricate...you managed to do it! Brilliant! I will be doing that from now on. I just made some cards with glitter paper in the background...wish I had watched this video beforehand! lol. I will be occupying some of my spare moments perusing your blog. There are some gorgeous, beautiful cards on there! Thank you for sharing with the world! May you have a very Merry Christmas. Look forward to seeing what you create in this new year of 2018!!

[@handcraftedbyhelen1963]

Oh goodness, thank you so much Sherrie, it's people like you that keeps me doing these videos, thank you and welcome 💙🎄💛🎄

[@ruthjames715]

What an unusual technique, Helen. When I saw the photo of the card I thought you had just stuck the purple snowflakes on to the white card. It's really lovely. Ruth down under.

Another beautiful card Helen, Have a Merry Christmas to you too!

[@handcraftedbyhelen1963]

Thank you Deb

[@carolrossouw2015]

Lovely card Helen! Clever idea with keeping the snowflakes in the die to glue them down. When I first saw the card I wondered whether you had embossed the card and somehow did the letter press technique with glue and sprinkled glitter onto. It is very cleverly done and I think the purple is great. It's been such a blessing to get to know you better after looking at your beautiful cards for years, and your videos are something to look forward to each week. May you and your family have a blessed Christmas and a wonderful new year. Lots of love xx

[@handcraftedbyhelen1963]

Thank you again Carol, for all your support and lovely comments you always leave. I too have enjoyed getting to know you too. Christmas wishes to you and your family too?

What a beautiful card! The purple and white is really a striking combination. I think I might have the patience to make somthing like it - I'm thinking silver and turquoise, popular in the Southwest part of the U.S. Thanks for sharing it!

[@handcraftedbyhelen1963]

Thank you Wynter, yes turquoise and white would look lovely!

[@Hash4ever]

Just exquisite! I may try with some less intricate dies. Your cards look as professional as any on KZbin. Please keep up the great cards and I really love your accent. Christmas blessings to you and your family.

[@handcraftedbyhelen1963]

Thank you Reva, definitely try this with other dies, you will still get beautiful results, as I think the beauty of this card is in the positive and negative use of the die cuts. I only try and give the ideas that people can use what they have at home already to get similar results, I don't think we need to keep buying more and more. merry Christmas from New Zealand.

Like the idea of using the squared paper to line it up Helen, I may have used pearl drops of something in the middle on the smaller ones not the small paper parts but it’s still lovely more inspired every video

[@candacekieper4354]

There is a saran wrap(sticky back bowl cover) that you can use as a transfer paper which would make this much easier. Beautiful card will add to my list..

[@handcraftedbyhelen1963]

I have used press and seal on other cards in my videos, to be honest, I just didn't think of it at the time in this one, I didn't realise it was going to be so fiddly. But thanks for the suggestion.

[@createniks]

Fantastic!!

This is so stinking gorgeous!! You did an amazing job.! I would never have thought purple for Christmas! I love it! I would love to make this card but I have no idea what the snowflake die is, can you please tell me what you used?

[@handcraftedbyhelen1963]

Hi Bev, I actually got these from Aliexpress, and they are probably available on ebay as well, from a Chinese online store. I just did a search for Snowflake dies on Aliexpress and the first one that came up is this one www.aliexpress.com/item/4pcs-Set-Christmas-Snowflake-Scrapbooking-Album-Paper-Card-Diary-Hand-Craft-for-DIY-Die-Cut-Stencil/32743855938.html?spm=2114.search0104.3.1.ltgnc5&ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_5_10152_10065_10151_10344_10068_10345_10342_10547_10343_10340_10341_10548_10541_10562_10084_10083_10307_10539_10312_10059_10313_10314_10534_10533_100031_10604_10603_10103_10594_10557_10596_10595_10142_10107_5080020,searchweb201603_25,ppcSwitch_3&algo_expid=ba1b6cad-2124-4128-ae60-9d22cc462205-0&algo_pvid=ba1b6cad-2124-4128-ae60-9d22cc462205&rmStoreLevelAB=2 They don't have a brand, and really you could do something very similar with other brands that are out there like these IO dies iostamps.com/DIES/DIE024-X.html or the penny black ones on Amazon here www.amazon.com/Penny-Black-Snowflake-Trio-Decorative/dp/B00I18O9R8
