CSF Saturday Blog Hop - Winter Scene

 Good Morning, Stampers!

Welcome back to another inspiring week of our creative blog hop! 

Today, we’re bundling up, stepping into the crisp air, and celebrating the quiet

 beauty of winter scenes. Whether your style leans whimsical, rustic, 

elegant, or playful, this theme is the perfect chance to bring the season’s 

charm to life on your crafting table!

There’s something special about winter scenes—the soft glow 

of snowy hills, the sparkle of frosted branches, the peaceful hush that

 settles over the world. They invite us to slow down, breathe deeply, and

 create something that feels serene and full of wonder.

The Reason to Celebrate stamp set brings heartfelt, all‑occasion sentiments

 and the Winter Scenes stamp set layers beautifully over the simple plaid background. 

Together, you get a card that feels both seasonal and meaningful — perfect 

for holiday thank‑yous, New Year greetings, winter birthdays, 

or simply sending warm wishes!

Paper Craft Crew Weekly Challenge #653

 Good Morning, Stampers!

(click photo to enlarge)

One of my favorite things about the Stampin’ Up! Holiday Mini 

Catalog is how inspiring the sample projects are!

They’re like little creative nudges—beautiful starting points 

that spark ideas without boxing you in. So for this week’s Paper Craft

Crew Weekly Challenge, we are C.A.S.Eing a card straight 

from the catalog… but adding a little twist that makes it uniquely our own.

It's fun - give it a try!

While flipping through the Holiday Mini, a clean and cozy 

card on page 14 design caught my eye. It had a simple layout, 

soft seasonal colors, and festive focal images—perfect for quick holiday 

crafting. I loved the basic layout of the design, so I used it as my 

starting point and added a few embellishments & ribbon to finish it off.

SU!pplies:
Stamps: Branching Out

Ink: Pecan Pie

Paper: Pecan Pie, Thick Basic White, Christmas Tags DSP, Timeless Plaid DSP

Accessories: Garden Green Chevron Ribbon, Garden Green Pearls
