How about adding embossing paste snow to your winter cards – here’s how!
I am really excited to share my way of how to make embossing paste look like snow because it’s SO easy and it looks SO good in real life – the photos just don’t do it justice! If you are like me, once you try this one time you will be LOOKING for excuses to make winter cards to add it!
This is a very simple layout that allows the snow covered Pine Tree to be the star of the card. The tree was stamped on the white layer with black ink and colored using mini applicators and Distress Inks. The tree layer was attached to the decorative scallop layer using ATG adhesive and was attached to the green card base with mounting tape. The small sentiment layer was cut using the scalloped die, stamped with black ink and attached to the tree layer using mounting tape.
I love using white embossing paste to create snowy scenes but it also works great to create seafoam on beach scenes. Take a look at my Handmade Christmas with Dogs and Summer Beach Card for more embossing paste inspiration.
Now that you know how to make embossing paste look like snow on your cards, don’t you just want to add it to ALL of them? I tried like mad to get a photo that shows how fabulous this super easy touch looks but trust me when I tell you that the full effect is fabulous!

Kittie,
I would never get bored watching you create! I love your designs. Thanks for sharing this beautiful card idea with us. Stay safe!
The process of making snow by this method may be time consuming but the final effect is stunning. And honestly, does everything need to be “quick and easy” that we make?
Taking time to create something beautiful is a luxury, especially at holiday time, but it rewards with renewed personal satisfaction and brings joy to the receiver.
Thank you, Kittie, for a great technique and the recall that it brings.
I just love the look Kittie!! Great tutorial, I can’t wait to try this out.
