We’re sneaking into the shortest day of the year here and my northern Canadian heart will be happy to see the sun start to make its way back to this hemisphere to have some longer days. Right now the sun rises at 8:48 am and sets at 4:16 pm. Makes for a short day, and a long cozy evening. Perfect for this warm set from Power Poppy called Snuggle Down. Just look at how CUTE these vintage plaid thermoses are! After giving them some colour with Copics in one of my favourite combinations of blue/green, red and white, I used a scalloped oval die to shape the bottom of the image.
One of the BEST things about this cute set is the ability to make your own plaids. There are four different strips of line images which you can use to DIY a plaid design. I went to town with some teal, red and embossed white. I love how it perfectly coordinates with the colouring on the thermoses.
To accent, I stamped some pretty crocheted snowflakes from Power Poppy’s set Grandma’s Snowflakes in soft sky ink, and then added a white embossed snowflakes from the stamp set and cut out with the coordinating dies, to the bottom of the oval edge with a faceted gem embellie. A popped up embossed sentiment makes it complete, and can be used not only for Christmas, but all winter long.
This will probably be my last post before Christmas, so I want to pray blessing over each of you this season. Praying you’ll know joy, deep peace, the love of precious people, time to celebrate and to reflect, time to dwell with the great assurance that you are loved by this Christ-child I celebrate, Emmanuel, God with us!
Thanks for blessing me with your visit! Pop on over and see more inspiration today.....
