Today I wanted to try to find a way to use some of those mittens I have in the adorable "Let it Snow" embellishment kit and this is what I came up with.
I used some of the Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the "Let it Snow" 12" x 12" paper pack. I picked the mittens images because those were a challenge for me too. It's such a "busy" paper and I had trouble working with it. But using a smaller strip I was able to work it onto a card and actually like it. A small strip of it toned it down nicely.
I cut the strip of DSP 1-3/4" x 5-1/2" and I cut a 2" x 5-1/2" piece of Shaded Spruce card stock for the back layer. I taped the two pieces together and taped them on a folded half-sheet of Whisper White card stock.
I stamped the words from the "Snowman Season" set using Shaded Spruce ink. I die cut them with the 1-7/8" circle die. I die cut them towards the top of the circle. And I die cut a scalloped circle to layer behind it. I taped the two pieces together. Then I got out my "Let it Snow" embellishment kit and was going to use the green mittens and hat but they didn't stand out very well, so I went with the pink ones. I set them in place on the circle using Dimensionals.
I added Dimensionals to the back of the circle and I set it in place on the card and there you have it, a super quick and simple card. Plus I got to use the mittens and hat!!! I have lots left in the kit and I'm sure I won't be using them before they retire. But I will try. I should make up some duplicate cards to sell in the craft fair next year. Now there's an idea!! Or I could place them in my web store and sell a few that way!
Thank you SO much for visiting today,
