Hello Crafty Friends! I'm on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog today with a fun mitten shaped card featuring these absolutely adorable bear from the Holiday Hugs set and a custom made sentiment using the new Build-a-Greeting Holidays Stamp set.
I stamped the bear and mug from the Holiday Hugs Stamp set onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and used the coordinating Holiday Hugs Dies to diecut them out. I made sure to use the special die that allows you to diecut the arms on the bear to allow her to hold the mug. I colored the images with Copic markers and highlighted them with a white gel pen.
COPIC COLORS:
Bear: E40/41/81 W3, R20, R000/20
Scarf: RV10/21/23, RV21/23/25/29, C1
Mug: RV23/25/29, E33, R24
Merry Everything and Happy Always! I love this fun sentiment but it is hard to find a premade clear stamp for it. I used the recently released Build-a-Greeting Holidays Stamp set for this task. This fun stamp set has oodles of Holiday themed words and is just perfect for creating custom sentiments. I aligned the words that I needed and stamped onto piece of white cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I used a paper trimmer to trim it out.
Next, I used the Woolen Mitten Dies to diecut the mitten once out of pink and twice out of white cardstock. I also diecut the cuff out of pink cardstock. The pink mitten was placed into the Cable Knit 6 x 6 Embossing Folder and ran through the diecutting machine. This created a beautiful deep knit impression onto the mitten. I adhered the pink mitten to one of the white mittens. Foam tape was used to adhere the cuff to the pink mitten.
In order to create a hinge for the card, I used a score board to score a line along the top 0.5" of the second white mitten. I stamped one of the sentiments from the Inside Greetings Seasons Stamp set onto this white mitten with Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide ink and Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I used a strong double-sided tape to adhere the two white mittens to each other along the previously scored 0.5" space along the top of the mitten.
The colored images and the sentiment were adhered to the card front with foam tape for a bit of dimension and interest. I finished the card with a few white snowflakes diecut using the Basic Mini Shape 2 and Basic Mini Shape 5 Dies.
