Snowflake Mitten

Here's a quick and simple card for the holidays featuring two of the newest dies from the Merry & Bright collection:  Toasty Mitten 98664 and Precious Snowflakes 98729.  

MAERIALS USED:

• Currant notecard
• Currant Dots paper
• Neenah White cardstock
• adhesive-backed cardstock in white and red
• pearls in several sizes
• Pure Red ZIG Calligraphy pen for the stitching lines on the mitten

Using adhesive-backed cardstock simplified the gluing process for the snowflakes, though I've found that just a glue dot in the center of each bow and each snowflake is enough to hold them in place.  I added a blank white rectangle for stamping a sentiment, name, initial, or image later.  I think that the BOLD JOY stamp F1936 inked in the right red would be perfect for this card--need to buy that stamp at my local stamp store!  I also added a red Toasty Mitten "stitched" with a Uniball Signo White pen and a small white Perfect Snowflake to the inside of the card.  

Finish with some stamped snowflakes (I used Sprinkles B1158) in red ink on the white envelope.  This is another card that would be easy to do in multiples.

Happy Crafting!
