Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone doing today? We’re halfway through the week and on our way to the weekend already.
Today’s card is for the inspiration challenge from The Card Concepts. We do a month-long challenge, so you have all month to enter multiple times. The inspiration photo #213 is Winter Solace. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made this card, Click Here for my Instagram Reels. Here is my card that was inspired from the challenge photo.
I used the Stampin’ Up! Sparkling Snowflakes Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Winter Meadow Designer Series Paper and Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Frosted Forest Bundle for my clean and layered card. I was inspired by the sparkly trees and the deer in the photo.
I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concepts and join us for our challenge 213. How are you inspired by the photos?
Adhere a panel of Winter Meadow DSP to a Pebbled Path card base using Liquid Glue. Stamp the sentiment from the Sparkling Snowflakes stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink on the top of the panel. Stamp the bird image from the Stampin’ Up! Frosted Forest Photopolymer Stamp Set in Pebbled Path Ink on the top of the card front.
From a panel of White Glimmer Paper, cut the tree dies using the Frosted Forest Dies. Using Paper Snips, snip off 2 of the trees from the 3 tree die cut. Adhere the tree with the snow drift to the bottom of the card front. Adhere the 2 snipped trees to either side of the deer image on the card front.
Adhere the tall tree to the right side of the card front. Add an Adhesive-Backed Sparkle Gem to the card front by the sentiment.
On a panel of Basic White, stamp the sentiment from the Frosted Forest stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink. Adhere 2 strips of the Winter Meadow DSP to either side of the Basic White panel. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Smoky Slate mat then to the inside of the Pebbled Path card base.
Complete the card by decorating a Basic White Medium Envelope. Stamp the smaller tree image from the Frosted Forest stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink on the envelope front and flap, some in full strength ink and some stamped off once. Stamp the bird image from the Frosted Forest stamp set in Pebbled Path Ink by the trees.
Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you like my card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!

In response to changing policies at Stampin’ Up – I’m adjusting my Ordering Gift policy as well. I’m having to get a little more tough on the adding of Host codes when you place your order thru my Online Store.
Not to worry – you’re still going to get that $10 ordering gift for orders of $50 (before shipping & tax) or greater. And the gift is still any 1 SU! product up to that $10 value.
But – if you DO NOT use the Host code for your orders of less than $150 (this is the RETAIL total before Shipping & Handling), then you’ll have two options:
- You’ll need to call Stampin’ Up! (1-800-Stamp-Up) and ask them to add it for you. They’re very helpful and will get it done quickly! OR….
- If your order was over the $50 threshold but under $150, then…you’ll forfeit that $10 ordering gift and rewards – this is the Bummer Option – and I REALLY don’t want to do this, SO please remember to add my Current Host Code.
