Melissa Phillips brings a playful touch of winter cheer with her Joy card, a scene built around the happiest snowman, bundled up in soft seasonal colors and surrounded by sparkling snowflakes. ⛄✨ With a peachy-pink winter sky above and fresh blue snow beneath, Melissa’s creativity shines through charming little details like a wooden fence, tiny trees, and glitter-kissed accents that make the whole design come alive.
Melissa shares, “Our Joyful Snowman stamps and dies are just that, JOYFUL! I went with a peach and pink winter sky, adding die cut and stamped snowman images to build my winter scene. Follow along and create your own!”
