Melissa Phillips brings soft winter beauty to her Peace card, crafting a scene that feels gentle, sparkling, and full of seasonal wonder. ❄️🌲 Using a plaid–stenciled background and a die-cut window to frame a charming potted tree, Melissa layers in snowflakes, holly, and a sentiment that speaks right to the heart. Her pastel palette and glittery touches give this design the sweetest touch of winter magic.
Melissa shares, “Create a window for your Winter scene by die-cutting an opening in your card front using our Love to Layer: Arches dies! Fill in with snowdrifts, pine trees, snowflakes, and anything your heart desires as the seasons change.”
