My Winter Post skaters were inked in Chocolate Chip and stamped on Whisper White card stock. I clipped each corner with a Ticket Corner Punch (107214) and adhered the image with Stampin’ Dimensionals to layers of Chocolate Chip (also clipped on the corners) and Kiwi Kiss.
TIP: When adding the dimensionals to the back of the skaters, I purposely left the center clear when it was mounted on the Chocolate Chip. This left a perfect little channel for my Tangerine Tango Striped Grosgrain (111371) “scarf” to slip through.
My sketch was inspired by this charming layout from

I love your cards! You are a great inspiration! Thanks!
I love everything about that card. My favorite part in no coloring on the skaters and yet they look great. You should have been doing this blog years ago with all your wonderful ideas. Thanks for another beautiful card.
What and awesome find your website is. I am quite inspired and am REALLY enjoying reading all your posts. Your attention to detail is FAB.
Thanks for being a great stampin inspiration.
I just love your work Mary, you are so creative.
This card is no exception another beauty:)
As a former ice dancer, your card brought back wonderful memories of ice ponds, warming huts, hot cocoa, and fires.
Just beautiful! Love the ribbon scarf and the fun pearl embellishments. Thanks for playing along! 🙂
Details, details, details. It’s all in ’em, isn’t it? You don’t miss a single one. I love how it all came together.
Great card! Congrats on the 200,000 visitor 🙂
Beautiful card! I love the ribbon and how you slipped it under the picture.
Oh Mary – I got cold just looking at the card! LOL
I love the color combo, shows you don’t have to just do red and green for the holidays
Great card, as always. Love your work!

Hi Mary – what a pretty card!!! Love those pearls!!!
Very pretty Mary– love the pearls. 🙂
Once again another beautiful card Mary! I love it!
I really love what you did with the ribbon on this card. I bought this set to recreate your last skater’s card, but I’m thinking I will recreate this one, too! I enjoy the departure from the traditional red and green for the holidays.
