Hello Reader,

Today’s card puts yesterday’s exclusive sketch to work with four bold little squares—each built from six 1/4" strips and trimmed to 1 1/2". A crisp white snowflake (Snowy Delights Dies) pops against the Pretty in Pink, Strawberry Slush, Pool Party, Coastal Cabana, Lemon Lime Twist, and Granny Apple Green stripes, while the “Merry Christmas” sentiment (Words for the Season Dies + Seasonal Tags Stamp Set) finishes the look in classic black and white.

It’s a clean, graphic way to stretch your scraps, add playful color, and let those Textured Notes and Snowy Delights Dies shine—all from one simple sketch!

If you missed yesterday’s sketch, be sure to take another look. It’s the perfect starting point for creating with your favorite Stampin’ Up! suites.
