Good Tuesday morning. I have a fun mitten shaped card to share with you today with a big sparkly snowflake. I had so much fun on Sunday sparkling up the snowflakes for my project that I just had to pull out the glitter again.
I cut the mitten with a folded piece of white cardstock and allowing the folded edge to be slightly inside the edge of the die so the card front and back would stay connected. I cut another mitten out of designer paper and cut coordinating paper pieces for the cuff and top area of the mitten. I attached the green ribbon to the pieces and attached to the base of the mitten.
I cut two different size snowflakes using the Snowflakes set, covered them glossy accents and dipped them in glitter. I attached the largest snowflake to the base with a small piece of mounting tape and then attached the smaller snowflake with mounting tape to add space between them for dimension. I think these dies make the prettiest snowflake ever. Here’s a closer view to show the sparkle.
I thought a simple button and green knotted ribbon would be the perfect finish. This would be such a fun Christmas or winter card for a child. This die is also the perfect size to make a big mitten tag.
Have a great day and thanks for stopping by.

Darling card! I love what you are doing with the snowflakes. Do you brush on the Glossy Accents before you put on the glitter? Just really love the look of those snowflakes. A bunch of them would look lovely hanging from some ribbon in a window. You have the best ideas. Happy Thanksgiving!
