Merry in Mint | Stitched Mittens Christmas Card - Sandi MacIver - Card making and paper crafting made easy

Today we are toning it down– way down– with this Merry in Mint Stitched Mittens Christmas Card. It’s another addition to my Christmas Card Magic Series, but this one is so easy to put together that I skipped the video!

Simon Says Stamp sent me a package of Blue Spruce cardstock in my latest work bundle, and I LOVE this color. I already had a set of Stitched Mittens cut out in mint, and the two colors were lovely together. For the background and frame, I chose Seafoam, a slightly lighter shade that helps the mittens and greenery pop. Then I dug into my die stash for a few older favorites to create the greenery.

You’ll find the easy steps below!

How to create the Stitched Mittens Christmas Card:

Trim a panel of Seafoam cardstock to 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″, and emboss it with the Wild Berry Vines Embossing Folder. Attach it to the front of an A2-sized, top-folding, white card base. Lightly drag a white pigment ink pad over the raised design to highlight the texture.
Use the Notched Rectangles dies to cut a frame from Seafoam cardstock, then glue it to the front of the card to frame the design.
Next, die-cut the Stitched Mittens from Mint and white cardstock and glue the layers together. Attach one end of a piece of light green twine to each mitten. Attach the mittens to the card using foam squares.
Die-cut two sets of Layered Pin Sprigs and layer them.
TIP: Stagger the sprigs as you glue them down to spread out the layers and avoid a bulky spot on your card. Attach to the top left corner of the card, just inside the frame.
Layer the small Eucalyptus leaves cut from Mint cardstock over the pine sprigs, then add three white berries cut with the Christmas Foliage Die Set.
Finish with a sentiment from the Christmastime EZ strips and attach it at the bottom of the card.
