Winter Wishes

Hello, Friends!  I hope you all had a Merry Christmas!  Lots of cold and snow here recently.  Which inspired me to create the snowman card using images from Doodle Pantry.


A2 sized card = 5.5" x 4.25"
  • Mat 1 (snowflake pattern) = 5.410" x 4.160"
  • Mat 2 (snow scene) = 5.25" x 4"
  • Mat 3 (snowflake pattern) = 4.410" x 3.160".
  • Mat 4 (snow scene) =  4.25 x 3"
  • Mat 5 (snowflake pattern) = 3.415" x 2.165"
  • Mat 6 (snow scene) = 3.25" x 2"

  • Snowflake pattern edges inked with Tim Holtz Faded Jeans Distress Ink.
  • Glitter pen used to highlight hats, ear muffs and scarfs on snowmen.

Decorative Couch Pillow

Hello, Friends... And Merry Christmas!  Today I want to show you a pillow I made for a family member.   But first, my tip:  It's Christmas!  Love one another. 

Check List:
  • Pillow Insert - purchased at Walmart
  • Pillow Cover - purchased at Walmart
  • Flourish - purchased in Silhouette store
  • Font - Precious
  • Print-Cut-Iron-On - Square1

Decorative Couch Pillow
using Square1 Iron-On

I purchased an 18" square pillow insert and cover, both from Walmart.  The cover was $7.99 (I think) and the pillow was around the same in cost.  I should have bought these items at Hobby Lobby.  They had a bigger selection and I could have used their 40% off coupon.

The swirl flourish was purchased in the Silhouette store for .50 cents.  I color-filled it in black.

"Garrett" text was created using the Precious font (found at dafont.com).

Flourish Swirl and Garrett text were first printed on Square1 Iron-on using my home printer.  It was then cut using the Silhouette.  Next, just iron-on to the pillow cover. 

Insert pillow and done! 

I hope you enjoyed my project today.
