Isn't this a cute card? I was so disappointed a few years ago when my favorite Christmas stamp set, which had mittens in it, retired. Well, I am happy again! I got the idea for these mittens from our Stampin'Up! Demonstrator site and they are really easy to make using our Wide Oval and Small Oval punches. Just cut a strip of designer paper for the cuff ( I used the retired paper Tropical Party), add some silver tinsel from the Mini Catalogue, Real Red Grosgrain to hang them, and a few white stitches with a White Signo Gel Pen and you have a pair of mittens! I attached them to a Tempting Turquoise card which I ran through the Big Shot with the Northern Flurries Embossing Folder, and used the new set Bright Christmas for the greeting, also from the Mini Catalogue.

Having my Halloween class last night put me in the mood! I made this quick and easy candle cover in no time with the Fancy Favor die and the Big Shot to cut out the box. I then punched a 2 1/2" circle out of the front, attached some vellum that I colored with Daffodil Delight ink inside. Then I used the Owl Punch, the Bird Punch for the Branch, and witch hat is from the stamp set Wicked Cool. Drop a small candle in and it's ready to glow!
