Here's another view of my card:

And of two of the panels (the third is a repeat of the panel on the left):

To make my card I die cut three panels from white card using a die from Stampin' Up.  

Using my stamping platform I stamped the three panels using the Rustic Snowflake stamp set from Uniko available here.  By stamping all three panels in stages I made them identical.  I added sentiments from the Christmas Sentiments set also from Uniko here.

I layered the panels with dark grey metallic paper and then attached the three stamped and layered panels to a piece of card to make the trifold design.
