Four Seasons February Challenge - Snowflake Kisses

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".


This post includes some affiliate links, meaning I may earn a small commission if you purchase something through the links. As always, this is at no cost to you. Thank you so much for your support!



I plant to share with these challenges:


Btw. our optional February mood board is below. My card was inspired by the frosty berries.  


And that is all for today. To join in at the Four Seasons challenge please visit the challenge blog where you'll also see what the rest of the team made. Hope to see you there!

It's a beautiful paper and your stitching has really complemented it, especially around what I thought was a ribbon you had added.

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
