Merging Craft Techniques for a Vibrant Card: Let’s Get Crafty with Caly!
Hi everyone! It’s Caly Person here today!
I’m sharing a card using the December 2024 Card Kit – Warmest Wishes! This card kit has some fun products and I’m combining a few of the products to make a fun and colorful card with these adorable mittens!
I used the Snowflakes Adhesive Transfers and Sparkling Silver Embossing Powder on the background, stamped a festive canopy using the Warmest Wishes set, and embossed the fun hanging mittens from the Bundled Up embossing folder and die set.
The Snowflakes Adhesive Transfers uses a heat-laminating system to transfer sticky snowflakes to cardstock for foiling other mediums. I used the Gina K. Fuse Foiling System to transfer the snowflakes to white cardstock. Instead of adding foil, I used the Sparkling Silver Embossing Powder from the kit. I sprinkled the embossing powder over the adhesive and rubbed it in before heat-setting it like usual.
Check out the video below to see this come together!

Next, I stamped a canopy at the top of the snowflake panel using foliage and berries from the Warmest Wishes set. I stamped another set to fussy-cut for layering and dimension. Be sure to grab the dies for this set if you don’t like to fussy-cut!
For the colorful mittens and sentiment, I ink-blended a rainbow of color across a white strip of paper and die-cut some mittens and embossed them using the Bundled Up embossing folder and coordinating dies.
I used the remaining paper to stamp and emboss a sentiment. I adhered the mittens with 3D foam squares and used a black pen to draw lines from the mittens to the canopy with the help of my T-ruler. To draw more attention to the embossed mitten details, I used a white paint pen to draw over the embossed areas so you can see the details better.
I hope you enjoyed this card using products from the December 2024 Card Kit – Warmest Wishes!

Really lovely card and fun kit
Wat ik leuk vond aan die video van Caly is hoe verschillende technieken zo soepel samenkomen — het inspireerde me om ook weer iets creatiefs te doen. Alleen zat ik die dag compleet vast in m’n hoofd, dus ben ik eerst even gaan ontspannen via spin mama. Ze hebben daar leuke extra’s voor spelers uit België, wat het net wat aantrekkelijker maakte. Ik begon met kleine inzetten, verloor een paar keer, maar bij iets meer risico pakte ik ineens een mooie winst. Daarna had ik de rust en energie om zelf ook weer aan iets creatiefs te beginnen. Soms helpt een beetje afleiding juist om de inspiratie terug te vinden.
