Something to Keep You Warm

I’m back today with yes, another Christmas card.  This card is inspired by one I saw by Becky Whitman at  becca-expressions.blogspot.com.  I think this card is adorable.  I don’t remember if the inspiration was embossed or not, but mine is.  I ran it through a cuddlebug folder that I thought resembles a crocheted or knitted mitten.   I got ahead of myself.  A description of what I did is below the picture.

  Using cricut craft room, I cut out the snowflake inside the mitten.  I then trimmed with my scissors the snowflake just leaving the star.  I stitched the mitten with baker’s twine. For the card base,  I cut out two mittens out of White Daisy card stock and scored half an inch on the back one at the top for the card to open. I then glued the tops together at this fold line.  I then glued on my embroidered mitten and cuff onto the front mitten.  I threaded a button and glued it in the center of the star after I attached the star at the center of the snowflake.  I hope this makes sense and doesn’t confuse anyone.

  For the sentiment, I used two different stamps to achieve the greeting that I wanted.  This I stamped on the inside at the cuff.

  Here is a close up of the embossing.  I love the look and am on an embossing kick right now.  Well, embossing is one of the kicks I’m on at this current time.
