Happy February everyone, I'm glad January is behind us as it's been such a bitterly cold month for the most part here in the midwest and now it's just one more month before March!! I don't like how fast time flies but the older I get the more I dislike winter and I've been ready for spring about a month ago😄
Since it's the first of a new month, a new challenge starts at the Four Seasons challenge blog and it's our last month of "All things winter". We do have a fun mood board to inspire you but the use is optional and you may share anything seasonal, that includes any holidays happening during the winter months.
This is another simple card I made using a beautiful paper pack from Stamperia.
This one is from the 8x8
Nutracker paper pack. Besides the Nutcracker and The Owl's House paper packs I have now
purchased several other paper packs by Stamperia but not yet cut into them. Hope to do so
soon but I haven't done much crafting yet this year.
I'm currently loving kraft paper so I used it as a card base and layer and
then used my sewing machine for some zig zag stitching. I even bought some
kraft envelopes
from Michaels which match the
kraft cardstock also from Michaels. The sentiment is from the Penny Black set
When Snow Falls. To finish it off I added some Stickles glitter onto the berries for a little sparkle. My favorite is "Stardust".

I love it when beautiful papers can take center stage as yours have done here, such a beautiful image for our winter theme!!
Oh Ellie ... this is so, so pretty! LOVE IT!! That stitching really adds such amazing texture. Well done!
That is such a lovely card!
Gorgeous card Ellie, the Stamperia papers really do have a wow factor! Xx
It's a beautiful paper and your stitching has really complemented it, especially around what I thought was a ribbon you had added.
Thanks #1 for sharing your winter birds card with FQGS for challenge #36!!! Love this outdoor nature scene! -- Becca
OMG ich bin schockverliebt in diese zauberhafte Karte, liebe Ellie. Sowas von schön, dieses Vogelmotiv ist ein Traum (sind das Gimpel ?), der Spruch wundervoll und Deine Nähte sind das gewisse Etwas, ein Sahnestück.
Winterliche Grüße
