After embossing a piece of dark blue cs with a Cuttlebug snowflake folder, I sanded the cardstock to bring out the white core. (Note: This technique will not work with SU cardstock due to its solid core; but you could gently rub a white inkpad over the raised snowflakes after sanding for a similar effect.)
Next, I used a Marvy punch for the large snowflake and a Martha Stewart punch for the smaller one. After attaching a large square of silver paper to the cardfront where the cutout would go, I mounted the snowflake panel over it with SU dimensionals. I mounted the white snowflake in the center with a thicker pop dot so that it would stand above the blue cs beneath.
The blue metallic center is from Hero Arts and is self-stick. For the silver cord bow in the upper left corner, I adhered it with a glue dot and added the tag with its tiny blue metallic embellishment. (This card looks more sparkly in real life than it does here.)

I don't know why I never think to sand - it is a fantastic look! Love this card!
