Hello everyone. I have a simple winter card to share today featuring an “oldie but-goodie’ faux suede technique and the Stitchable Mitten die set from the 2024 Winter Days collection.
As evident from the photo, the faux suede papers are lighter in color than the original paper because they are a single layer. To strengthen them before die cutting the mittens from them, they were glued to 80# cardstock. I used the backside of cuff cutouts because I liked the texture that was caused by the scratched up cutting plate when running them through the die cutting machine. Added faux stitching with a white gel pen.
The background panel is Bristol paper trimmed to 4.5×6-inches and then dry embossed with the Winter Knit 3D embossing folder. Needed the larger size to fit both mittens. The snowflakes were die cut from white glitter paper. Assembled the card onto a white card base then added the gold foil white banner tab to finish.
That does it for my card. Thank you for joining me today. Have a wonderful day.
