Winter greetings, friends! I’m so happy you stopped by! Today I’m sharing a card featuring one of my all-time favorite dies from Pretty Pink Posh, the Mitten Shaker. I’ve used this die set almost every year since its release because it’s just so adorable. This year I chose not to include a shaker element and kept things pretty simple. I used cute gingham-patterned paper for the mitten and combined it with some newer products like the Argyle Pierced Plate and the Winter Greetings Shadow Dies. Take a peek at my full supply list (with affiliate links), and then we’ll get started!

My first step was to create the background panel. I started by die-cutting the Argyle Pierced Plate and the frame from wheat cardstock. They both needed some frosty and snowy embellishment, so I softly blended in areas of white pigment ink here and there before spattering everything with white spatter medium. I attached the frame to the pierced panel and moved on to die-cutting the other elements for my card design.
I die-cut the pieces for the mitten a couple of times so I could stack them for more stability since the patterned paper is a lighter weight than most cardstock. Then I assembled the mitten and added a beautiful snowflake before attaching it to my background panel. I added more wintery embellishment to the mitten with some greenery and the perfect little red heart.
Next I die-cut the greeting once from white cardstock and once from green cardstock. I layered these together slightly offset and added the scripty text to my card front using thin foam strips. Attaching the greeting this way was a little challenging but worth it in my opinion. Another option would be to layer more cardstock diecuts or even a piece or two of foam diecuts under the areas that the text overhangs the mitten. And lastly, the finishing touch was a scattering of dainty red hearts.
Thanks again for stopping by to check out my wintery card design featuring one of my all-time favorite die sets, the Mitten Shaker, from Pretty Pink Posh. Happy crafting, and see you again soon!
