A handmade landscape stair step card featuring winter snowmen created with the Simon Says Stamp Wrapped in Scarves stamp and die set. The background panel shows a snowy forest scene with white die-cut trees against a black sky with white paint splatter resembling snowfall. The front step of the card has a black and kraft striped panel, a large white die-cut snowflake, and a sentiment that reads “Snowman Kisses and Warm Winter Wishes.” One snowman is wrapped in a scarf and sledding, while another stands on the front step holding colorful holiday lights with a small red bird perched on its hat.
