For today's card, I dove into a fun and creative project using supplies from Scrapbook.com’s Exclusives line. I loosely followed the December Show Us Your SheetLoad sketch, making a few adjustments to fit the prompts for last Friday’s episode of Craft Roulette. My inspiration for the color palette came from the South Pole's STEVE (Strong Thermal Emission Velocity Enhancement), with its stunning mix of icy blue-greys and soft pinks. I wanted to capture that magical, wintry feel in my design.
I began with a piece of Vintage A2 patterned paper, cutting it down to 4x5-1/4". To give it a softer, weathered look, I blended Tattered Rose Distress Oxide around the edges and added a few splatters of Weathered Wood Spritz for texture. For the three paper panels, I used Christmas smooth cardstock and Winter A2 patterned paper. Once they were trimmed and adhered to the background, I stenciled snowflakes in Weathered Wood Distress Oxide, adding another layer of winter charm to the card.

The sentiment, "Let it Snow," became the centerpiece of my design. I die-cut it from Vintage and Christmas A2 papers, layering the pieces together for dimension. Around the sentiment, I layered die-cut florals made from the same papers and Glossy white cardstock snowflakes for a touch of shine. I love how these elements brought movement and a wintry elegance to the card.
To finish, I added Marine Pops of Color around the arrangement, creating small accents that tied the whole design together. The shimmer and texture brought out the icy blues and rosy pinks inspired by STEVE, completing the look I envisioned. This card captures the magic of winter while blending vintage style with modern techniques, and I’m so happy with how it turned out!
