A set of Photoshop & GIMP brushes composed of various snow and snowflakes. This includes various flakes in different shapes, of course, but some of them are patterned, others are vector, some are crocheted, there’s some scattered flake shapes, as well as some made to look like real snow that you can add to any scene to make it look like it’s snowing!
These brushes were made for NAPP, and were made available on their website several weeks before I released them here. You can find out more information on becoming a member of NAPP and Photoshop User magazine here.
Programs: Photoshop 7+, Photoshop Elements 2+, Gimp 2.2.6+

Thanks again, a friend told me about these
Thank you!! These are fabulous!!
This might just be my computer but the download didn’t work properly. Just to check i downloaded another of your brushes and it worked fine, so maybe you should check this out. :) i would love to be able to use these brushes. :D
Erin: I just checked them and they worked fine for me. Sometimes files can get corrupted when you download them, and I’m guessing that’s probably what happened to you. Try it again, and if it’s still not working for you let me know!
Perfect! Just what I needed, thanks!
We just downloaded them and created a background for our website. Take a look! These were incredible snowflakes that really made a difference in our site.
Thanks!

Not this set, no. But I do have a snowflakes vector set. You can find it here: http://www.obsidiandawn.com/snowflake-illustrator-vectors
I use your brushes on all my photomanips! They are so fabulous!
Stephanie, can I just say you are AWESOME?! I’m making Christmas cards in PSE and was thinking how I’d love to have a snowflake brush. You immediately popped into my mind and I rushed over with my fingers crossed and here they are! THANK YOU!!! Brushes are my new favorite thing because of you and I’m SO excited about them and having so much fun playing with them. My daughters (ages 3 & 5) can’t get enough of your fairy wings and glitter and they’re always asking me if they can decorate pictures of themselves (yes, they can actually get around pretty well doing it all by themselves! It’s amazing!).
Okay, so I have one question. Since I’m so obsessed I really just want to download all your brushes, but will it slow down the software if I have that many brushes installed? Also, it makes my list of brushes that I have to sort through HUGE! Do you know if there’s a way I can organize them into folders or rename them in the list or something? Thanks again for your generosity and incredible talent!!!
@Jessica: It won’t slow down the software to my knowledge, nope. Not having them installed into a directory, anyway… having them all LOADED might. :)
You can most definitely organize them in the folders! Or rename them, for that matter.
Organizing them into folders within your Presets > Brushes folder will only organize them as far as that folder is concerned… not in Photoshop. So, I’d suggest renaming them if you want them to come up a certain way on the list. You could put the category name first, then the brush set name. Something like “Fantasy – Glitter” (Category – Brush Set) or somesuch. Don’t feel like you need to keep the “SS” in there – as long as you keep my credit brush in there, you’ll know it’s from me! Doing it that way will put all the Fantasy brushes together, etc.
To rename the brush file name, just rename the ABR file.
I’m trying to load the brushes into CS3 and its looking for a .TPL file? Am I in the wrong place? Help please!!!
@Maggie: It shouldn’t be. All brushes, from Photoshop 7 through CS4 and beyond (hopefully) are all .ABR files. Did you check out my tutorial? (It’s in the sidebar)
Thanks, Stephanie. I know this sounds dumb, but I’ve just done some internet searching and I can’t seem to find the difference between having brushes “installed” and “loaded”. People seem to use the two terms interchangably. If I put the .ABR files into presets>brushes, doesn’t that automatically load them?
Also, I was just thinking, if I’m making a Christmas card, would I need to put credits on there somewhere since I’m using your brush (and for whatever digital scrapbook kit I use?) I’ve never seen credits on a Christmas card before, but I thought I’d ask. Thanks!
Thanks for these — ya never know when you might need some snow, right?
@Jessica: If you made a card with them, then yes, you would either need to put the credits on there OR purchase a commercial license. Commercial licenses are $3 per set, and when you purchase them I send you a PDF document absolving you of the need to credit me alongside the use of that brush set, so anytime you use that brush set from then on, you wouldn’t need to credit me. T-shirts, cards, etc are EXACTLY what the commercial licenses are for. :)

Thanks again, Stephanie…:-)
