Hello! Today, I am sharing a holiday-themed card featuring Impression Obsession stamp and die sets. Some of the supplies I have owned for years, and others I recently purchased.
- To begin, I stamped the Nordic Stripes in white pigment ink on SU Basic Grey cardstock. (As I mentioned in this post on stamped backgrounds, I have been challenging myself to use my background stamps more often. I used the same background stamp on this card.) I used a 4 1/2″ square die to cut the stamped background and added it to a card base.
- I cut a circle from patterned paper with a 3 1/2″ die. With the In & Out 11 sentiment set, I stamped the sentiment in black on white cardstock. I cut the sentiment with the 3 1/2″ circle die and then with a snow slope die (I used a die in the now-retired MFT Stamps Snow Drifts set).
- I cut the mittens from red cardstock and white flocked cardstock with the Mittens set. I cut the snowflake with a die in the Small Snowflakes set from white glitter foam.
- I added the circle assembly to the card with foam adhesive.
- I added the mittens to the circle with foam adhesive and then added the snowflake to the mittens with glue.
These same elements could be used on a non-Christmas, winter-themed card. I wrote about extending the joy of the season with winter-themed cards that can be sent for occasions other than Christmas HERE.
That white pigment ink really pops … love it.
Love those mittens! Clever idea to just add the snow drift to the circle. Great winter card!
Jean your cards never fail to elicit a smile from me. Love your bold happy colors.
Love the pop of the mittens with the knit background on grey, Jean! Happy Thanksgiving!!
