Winter wishes

Well, it's not quite winter, yet, but we all know it's coming. Each year I try to think of something to add to my list of things I like about winter (it's a short list). I like wreaths, especially this tiny one with the glittery berries.


I stamped the wreath image in Pear Pizzazz and the berries in Riding Hood Red, with some Dazzling Details glitter glue to accent the berries. I cut the Whisper White and Riding Hood Red from PTI's Mat Stack 3 dies; for the card, I used the Mega Mat Stack 3 die and placed a piece of folded Old Olive just inside the left edge, to make a folding card. (The layers fit the card well but the photo makes it look a little unbalanced - it's not.) The dots are dry embossed with a Texturz plate. The Riding Hood Red taffeta ribbon is retired, sadly; it is one of my favorites but I use it sparingly. The little tag was stamped and cut using Tiny Tags and the jewelry tag punch; "to you" is just a part of a larger sentiment stamp.


I just love this little card, which could be mailed in a regular envelope, or used as a gift tag. This reminds me of another item to add to my list: I love making holiday cards.


What do you like about winter?

  1. Wow - this is a stunning card. Everything about it is so elegant and beautiful. I love the perfect accent of those berries and the little white ribbon holding your tiny tag. What a great idea to make the mega stack the card. Perfect. Love it! As for me, I love sunshine on snow. I think it's so pretty when we have a bright sunshiny day with either ice or snow on the trees on the ground. It's not great for driving or keeping the lights on in the house, but it sure is pretty.
