Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop!
This month, the Pals have been busy creating cozy, frosty, whimsical card ideas and paper crafts for our Winter Wonderland theme — using our favorite Stampin’ Up! goodies. Each project brings a different twist, and that’s what makes the hop feel like a stroll through a creative winter village. If you’re looking for inspiration (or maybe a reason to stay inside with your craft supplies), this hop is for you!
I’ve chosen Nests of Winter for my card today. I fussy cut a few of the sweet little birds out of the paper and placed them around a great winter wish from the Branching Out Stamp Set.
Here’s my card:

Dimensions & Details:
- Thick Basic White Cardstock base, 8-1/2″x 5-1/2″, folded at 4-1/4″
- Basic White Cardstock top layer, 5-1/2″x 4-1/4″, embossed with Beautiful Pattern Embossing Folder
- Lost Lagoon Cardstock, 3-1/2″x 2-3/4″
- Nests of Winter DSP, 3-3/8″x 2-5/8″
- Birds, pinecones, and sprigs hand cut from Nests of Winter DSP
- Birds adhered with Dimensionals
- Sentiment from Ornamental Christmas, stamped with Lost Lagoon ink
- Stamped on Basic White Cardstock and cut to 1/4″ wide strip, divided after peace and glued to DSP
On the Inside:

- Branch from Branching Out, stamped with Pecan Pie ink
- Bird hand cut from Nests of Winter DSP and glued down
I love these winter birds! And the DSP looks like a snowy sky. Perfect for a winter wonderland card!

Keep the inspiration going! Follow the lineup below to hop through each blog and enjoy every beautifully frosty idea.
And stick around — next month we’re creating for the “Something New” theme, and you won’t want to miss it!
