Sunday’s Featured stamper was Melissa Wohler. Her blog is Sweetie’s Stamping.
I looked through her SCS gallery and saw that she had several cards made with this layout. I decided to case that it, with new stamps of course.
I made this card Saturday night, but I knew I would be busy Monday morning with first day of school and deep cleaning the house (I like cleaning the house so much better when everyone is gone. Then the house stays clean and picked up at least until the get back home from school). So I held off posting this until now.
The card base is a 5 1/4″ x 10 1/2″ piece of Soft Sky cardstock folded in half.
I adhered a 2 1/4″ x 5″ and a 3 1/4″ x 5″ piece of Wintergreen designer paper to a 5″ square and ticket corner punched the bottom two corners.
Over the place where the papers meet, I layered first a piece of 5/8″ Certainly Celery Grosgrain Ribbon, then a piece of the velvet ribbon from the Sherbert Ribbon original pack over that.
I stamped the saying stamp from the set Season of Joy in Soft Sky, then added Always Artichoke over some places with a marker to highlight Celebrate and Joy!
The Snowflakes are stamped in Always Artichoke and punched with the 1 1/4″ circle punch. I added silver brads in the center of each snowflake and was done. This was a fast challenge card!
If I was living in a colder place, where there is actual snow in the winter, I think this would be my Christmas card.

This is a beautiful card! I don’t think you’d want to live somewhere snowy and cold! Trust me! Last year we had snow from October til April, when it was finally all melted! 8 months of cold…I’d take your Florida weather any day!
