Winter Post is another one of my all-time favorite sets for Christmas!
For today's card~
- I combined the Winter Post set with Serene Snowflakes and the sentiment comes from All Holidays.
- I stamped the skaters in Soft Suede ink, then covered the image with a mask to stamp the snowflakes
- I sponged Sahara Sand around the edges using an oval mask
- Colored the skaters' clothing with markers, and I added glitter to her hat and sleeves
- The red card stock is textured. Don't forget about this option, it adds so much elegance to your projects!
I'll list the supplies in a minute - but, speaking of supplies - my order from the Sale A Bration brochure and Occasions mini arrives today. I can't wait! I love being a Stampin' Up! demonstrator!

Supplies~ all supplies by Stampin' Up!
Stamps: Winter Post, Serene Snowflakes, All Holidays
Paper: whisper white, real red textured, soft suede
and Ink: soft suede, sahara sand, real red
Accessories: Square rhinestones, Mistletoe ribbon, 1-3/8", slot and Designer Label punches, sponges, Top Note, Big Shot
How I made the focal image using the masking technique, step by step:
- Cut the Top Note. Cut an oval - I used the Nestie Ovals and cut the oval out of a transparency, so I could see to center it on the Top Note .
- Next you need to cut a mask of the skaters. Stamp the skaters (in soft suede) and cover with the mask.
- Center your oval mask and randomly stamp the snowflakes. I stamped the large snowflake first. Sponge lightly around the edge of the oval to define.
- Carefully remove the mask over the skaters.
- Assemble the rest of the card.

I just made a card with this set! It is such a great stamp set and so versatile. The images are so diverse but go together seamlessly, too. Great card!
