Warm Woolen Mittens

This week over on the Daring Cardmakers blog, our festive countdown continues.

Our theme this week is to feature winter clothing on your card, so warm woollen mittens, a scarf, boots, even ice skates and a funky Christmas sweater would do the job. In fact I might need to revisit this challenge to incorporate some ice skate stickers I’ve had in my stash for a while!

That is, if I can locate them!

But my first outing this week includes the winter essentials, warm mittens, a scarf and a bobble hat:

Card | Lil' Inker Designs All the Christmas You'll Ever Need Stamps

Dies: Essentials by Ellen – Stitches cover plate, Memory Box – Landscape Country Landscape border (r), Mama Elephant – Landscape Trio border dies
Stamp: Lil’ Inker Designs – All the Christmas You’ll Ever Need
Stickers: Pebbles – Winter Wonderland
Other: twine, button, glitter paper, Frosted Lace Stickles, MISTI

I definitely wanted to incorporate some texture into this card, so even though it was rather flat originally, there would still be a bit of interest in the design – so the Stitches cover plate was ideal for adding those different stitch patterns to the sky background and my trusty Memory Box landscape die had to feature, of course, as did one of Mama Elephant’s stitched landscape dies which are just perfect for adding snow drifts.

But my card looked just too flat and boring, so I added a pop of colour and bling at the top with the scalloped silver glitter border and the warm woollen mittens button and twine.

I think the snowman looked a bit more jolly once that was done. 😉

Head on over to the Daring Cardmakers blog to see the other wonderful card projects inspired by this theme, and have a go yourself!

Happy crafting!

Thanks for your lovely comment, Donna, it’s a great set and I hope you enjoy making many cups of cocoa…

Great card! I recently purchased this die set so your card caught my eye. Wish I could create with those…

I definitely have! Although I’ve now run out of projects to share until I’m back at my craft desk again.…

Thank you so much Joanne!, it wouldn’t be Christmas without a bit of pink. 🙂

About my project supply lists

I only use and share products that I genuinely love. The product supply lists that accompany my projects are simply intended to provide a visual overview of what I’ve used in case you have the same items at home or would like to add them to your own shopping list.
In my supply lists, I link to several stores in the UK and US and am an affiliate member of Scrapbook.com, The Greetery, Concord & 9th, Altenew, Spellbinders US and UK, and Amazon UK. This means that when you click on an affiliate link and go on to make a purchase, I will receive a small percentage at no cost to you. Money raised through affiliate links will go straight towards my crafting fund, which includes hosting this blog.
Please note that any products marked “(r)” are retired and may no longer be available for sale online.
Following the transition of my old blog, Kool Kitty Musings, to Handmade by Natty, the supply lists in those posts may have missing images and out of date links. There is no easy fix for this, I’m afraid – but you can still see which stores stocked the items in question at the time of posting.
I also list the stores I regularly use and have affiliate links for here.
