Hey there crafters! Today's card is doing double duty as my Guest Designer card for the challenge #51 and my homework project for the current Holiday Style Online Card Class - Cute Christmas cards.
Take a peek at this "sweet" inspiration photo. Hot Chocolate & marshmallows....yummy!
Look really, REALLY, REALLY close in the bottom right hand corner and you will see a 'corrugated' looking piece of something (table linen perhaps ?)....so I dug out my nine million year old paper crimp-er (Darnell...I found it in the box with the brass stencils) and crimped the center panel. The mittens are a MFT die, the snowflakes from a MS punch (also nine million years old).
Tons of inspiration to be had over at the challenge. See you in the gallery!
I'm also linking up to SSS Wednesday Challenge. Christmas!
Happy crafting!

BTW...our old cat Kiwi is responsible for the stray cat hair in the top right corner of the photo!
What an adorable pair of mittens, Geri ... if you're making some people sized snuggly ones just like them, I'll take a pair! Love the crimped panel (you'll have started a trend!) with all the yummy texture ... the delicate little blinged snowflakes are fabulous against it! Wondering what else is in the crimper/brass stencil box ....! Hugs & bisous, bisous, mon amie, Anita :)
ReplyDeleteOh my, Geri, those mittens are sheer delight! I'll add my order to Anita's! Love the colour, the snowflakes and, of course, the yummy kraft background! So incredibly pretty! A+++ on your homework assignment (I should have signed up for this course...). I don't have any mitten stamps/dies...added to my list (bring on the Black Friday sales!!

I love re-discovering tools I already have. Darnell has inspired me to pull out my brass stencils and you my paper crimper. Geri, this is such a fabulously crisp card, with your clean cuts and choice of colors. I can feel winter's chill. The mittens are adorable and the crimped background is the perfect home for them and the sentiment ties it all together. Fab!
ReplyDeleteWe are bringing back retro EVERYTHING, whoop!! High five!! This is so toasty and adorable, Geri! (BTW, GREAT job crimping in a straight line. I always had trouble with that even when I hadn't had wodka!) And the sweet snowflakes and blue/white/kraft coloring is fantastic!! Miss you!! Huge Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteCute! Great background.
ReplyDeleteWow! Love the card, and the use of antique supplies :o)
ReplyDeleteThis is so adorable and fabulous, Geri! Love those mittens! Have a wonderful week!
ReplyDeleteAdorable little mittens your card is so cute.
ReplyDeleteYup, I see the corrugated something in the corner - and the cat hair in the corner ;) Love your patterned mitts. And your crimped kraft background has just given me an idea - I might just be playing along!
ReplyDeleteYou have good eyes my sweet friend! I totally missed that corrugated paper and I love how you used it on your card too, so sweet. Just love your fabulous card.
ReplyDeleteA crimper!? That brings me back! Actually when I was looking through the challenge gallery I thought that it was such a clever idea to bring in the currogated cardboard because it reminded me of the cozies they put on the coffee cups. :)
ReplyDeleteThese mittens are really darling, Geri, perfect for our challenge this week! Thanks for playing along with us at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge!
ReplyDeleteThis is SO great and cozy! The crimper was one of my FAVOURITE tools when I first started!!!!
ReplyDeleteHi, dear friend!!!
ReplyDeleteAm two of three days behind in blogvisits and e-mails - MIL wasn't well, but I'm planning to get to everyone this afternoon and evening!!!
And what a very, very cute card you've got here, Geri!!!! And you spotted that piece of corrugated something and used your crimper - how very creative!!! I am an absolute lover of corrugated cardboard so you can imagine just how much I love your card!!!! The mittens are sooooo cute and I love the pretty little snowflakes!!!! The blue you have worked with is beautiful and really goes wonderfully with all the white and the kraft!!!! Such a lovely card!!!!!
Congrats again on your GD spot, hey!!!!
Have a wonderful day, my friend!!!!

PS. I had to go back and see where the cat hair is!!! Had you not mentioned it, nobody would have seen it!!!!! Clearly your eye op had wonderful results!!!
Geri, this is adorable! I love the crimped paper! It is perfect for the background to highlight those precious mittens! XX
ReplyDeleteOh, I just love how you've played off the colors in the inspiration photo; and that corrugated, kraft background is perfectly scrumptious!
ReplyDeleteSo cute Geri... those mittens make me wish for some coldness over here in the desert!
