WMS Warm and Cozy Stitching
The December issue of Cross Stitcher magazine came with the cutest kits of Christmas tags that can be stitched up in a hurry. I thought that the pattern with the mittens would be super cute if stitched in a more wintry palette of pale blues and pinks.
So I swapped out the colors, stitched up those mittens, and used them as the focal point for today's card!
Super fun and super warm and cozy! I love how the little stitched element on Aida cloth gives just the right amount of texture to this paper craft project. I added elements from Nordic Winter stamp set (waltzingmouse stamps) to really give it that warm woolen mitten feeling.

Thanks for popping into the cafe today! Blessings on your weekend!
