Warmest Thanks

Happy Monday everyone.. The Design team is taking a break to enjoy the Holidays with their families so this will be the last post you see for the rest of the year. We wanted to remind you that our Current Challenge will end this Friday December 30th @ 11pm EST. The theme this week is Winter and I’ve created a card that’s perfect for all those Winter Thank You cards or you can change up the sentiment for any occasion.

For more details on how I created these cards you can check out the video at the end of the post.

I started with the Simple Stories Winter Wonderland 6×6 pad and pulled the colors form the papers. I decided to use Neenah Solar White, Kraft, Soft Sky and Lawn Fawn’s Guava. I die cut the Mug images from the Hot Cocoa Cups die-namics from My Favorite Things. Once the images were all die cut I added some shading with Distress Inks and a Mini ink Blending tool . I used Weathered Wood, Worn Lipstick, Vintage Photo and on the Kraft Mugs I used Gathered Twigs. On the Whipped Cream and Marshmallows I added some Copic Markers in C00, C1 & 0 to create some dimension.

I wanted a little texture to the Whipped Cream and Marshmallows but I didn’t want any shimmer like Glitter. So I added some Clear Rock Candy Stickles and let the pieces dry. I die cut the patter papers with the Wonky Stitched Rectangle Die-namics from MFT and then I created the card on a top Folding A2 size base from some Neenah Solar White card stock. I stamped the sentiment from the MFT Hug in a Mug set onto some White card stock with Lawn Fawn’s Walnut ink and used one of the MFT Stitched Sentiment Strips to die cut the banner.

I added the banner to the center panel and then the cups. For an extra pop of color I used some of the Coordinating Enamel Dots from the Winter Wonderland collection as well. This card was so fun to make… I still have a few more to make and send out.

Have a great rest of the Holiday and We Wish you all the best in the New Year!
