A Smitten Mitten Thank You - TTTC #025

It’s Thursday and a very special Thursday at that…HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

But it’s also time for another Tic Tac Toe Challenge. This week my board is featured….

I loved the Smitten Mitten bundle the moment I saw it in the Holiday Catalog. There is just something about mittens, hats and stockings in winter that always draw me in and I fell for this bundle immediately. However, it’s taken me awhile to play with it.

For today’s card, I chose the third column down: stripes, thank you, twine and the third row across: blue, banner, twine.

Here’s the details

The card base is Very Vanilla thick card stock.
The patterned paper I used on this card is from Graphic 45. The striped panel measures 4″ x 5 1/4″ and is popped with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
The sentiment is from the One Big Meaning stamp set and is stamped in Marina Mist ink.
I used a square punch to flag the end to create a banner.

I cut the mittens with the Many Mittens Framelits and added the cuffs and Very Vanilla baker’s twine along with a couple of enamel shapes. I love the cut-out framelit!
The mittens are popped with dimensionals also.

In keeping with the clean and simple look of this card, I stamped the inside with another stamp from One Big Meaning stamp set. The stamps I used for the front and inside are actually one stamp that I cut apart to create two individual stamps. By doing this, you can get even more mileage from some stamps.
I embellished the inside and the envelope flap with more patterned paper.

I think this card would make a perfect thank you for the holidays.

I hope you will check out all the designer’s projects as well as those who are sharing their cards at the Tic Tac Toe Challenge this week. I also hope that you will find inspiration in my board this week and join us by sharing your own project with us.
