Welcome to day #2 of the annual holiday Visions of Sugarplums Blog Hop hosted by Lori Hairston! I’m thrilled that Lori invited me to share some projects again this year and hope my creations will help spark your creativity this holiday season! CLICK on the photos to see larger views!
I created another couple of 4 1/4″ x 4 1/4″ cards for today’s project share! This design is simple and quick (perfect for our busy schedules this time of the year), and would make a sweet thank you or birthday card for the winter season!
I added faux stitching to the kraft cardstock base using a chalk marker and then stamped the sentiment using the Let it Snow stamp set. I die cut the mitten from patterned paper using the Stitched Tags #2 Sweet Cuts set and then die cut the mitten cuff from white felt. The beautiful holly and berries was created by die cutting the leaves from green glitter paper using the Holly Days Sweet Cuts set and then adding some sparkly ‘berries’ using the Mistletoe Sequins mix! To finish this card off, I tied some Cupcake Seam Binding on the top of the tag!
My second card today is another simple and quick design that can be easily mass produced – especially since you are stamping the tree twice to make this one card (once in red and once in green), so you’re doubling up and saving time!
I added faux stitching to the kraft cardstock base using a chalk marker and then stamped the sentiment using the Merry and Bright stamp set. The scalloped circle was cut using a die from my stash and then I added the mixy-matchy adorable little tree inside the circle. To create the multi-color tree, I stamped the tree image from the Trim the Tree set twice in two different colors, die cut using the Trim the Tree Sweet Cuts set, fussy cut along the horizontal lines and then paper pieced the tree back together, alternating the colors – easy peesy! The star was die cut from gold glitter paper using the Trim the Tree Sweet Cuts set!
