Smitten Mitten CASE

Today's card is a CASE from a card designed by Mary Fish. I loved the way she layered the banner, stitched circle, and mitten! I just had to recreate it.

Craft with Beth: Smitten Mitten Christmas Card Stampin Up CASE Mary Fish

I didn't have the original sentiment stamp on the Old Olive banner, so I substituted the smitten sentiment stamp. I also embossed the Real Red 2nd matte with the Holly Embossing Folder for some added texture.

I am saddened that Smitten Mitten (#146070) is one of the Bundles that is retiring from the Holiday Catalog. Smitten Mitten is in my top ten favorite products from the Holiday Catalog! Mittens are such a classic symbol of winter. I was really hoping it would carry over. This Bundle has incredible versatility - Christmas Cards, winter birthdays, garlands, Advent Calendars, gift tags, and more. Many Mitten Framelits make it fun to design your own mitten combinations!

For the inside, I added a strip of plaid patterned paper from the Christmas Around the World Designer Series Paper Pack and a strip of Basic Black cardstock. I also added a row of Real Red hearts using the hearts in a row stamp above the cardstock. This heart stamp is two rows of hearts. In order to make it look like one row of hearts, I masked below where I wanted to stamp with a sticky note.

Craft with Beth: Stampin Up Stamparatus Graphic

There has been a change in the second reservation period for the Stamparatus. The Stamparatus has been so popular that the second reservation period has been expanded! Hooray! This is great news!
  • The new reservation period starts on December 5th, 2017 at 2pm (MT) and ends on December 30th, 2017.
  • December reservations will be processed in the order they are received and will begin shipping around March 19th, 2018. 
  • The limits on the number of Stamparatuses have also changed to 1 per customer and 1 per demonstrator. 
  • Stampin' Up! is not placing limits on the total number of reservations they receive in the month of December, so the third reservation period that was scheduled for January will be canceled. December will be the last opportunity to reserve the Stamparatus until its official release in June 2018.
  • If you reserved a Stamparatus in November, your reservation will stay the same (unless you change it).
  • If you reserved a Stamparatus in November, you can reserve more in December.
