Winter Wonderland

Snow makes me think of new beginnings, so as we prepare to close the chapter on 2017 and open a new one for 2018, I challenged the SIS designers to create projects using winter or snow as their inspiration.  Let's dive right in and see what they've created.

First up is Karla Anders with her snowflake card which is definitely a Work of Heart!  Head over to Karla's blog here for more of her heartfelt projects. 

Then we have Rachel Yurkanin's winter wonderland card full of snowflakes. Perfect little notecard. Head over to her blog for more details.

And finally, here is my favor/gift box.  I filled an Acetate Card Box with enough supplies for two cups of hot chocolate and created a decorative belly band with products from the soon to end Holiday Catalog.  Get all the details here on my blog.

Thank you so much for joining us today!  Please be sure to subscribe to the Sisters in Stamping blog so that you get instant updates on our posts.
