My card uses all of the products being featured/revealed today: Blueprints 20, Cozy Mittens stamp set, coordinating Cozy Mittens Die-namics, and Nordic Knits stamp set!

Here's my card:
When I first saw these sweet mittens, I knew I wanted to try making vellum shakers out of them and I was so happy my idea worked out! After die cutting the mittens from Vellum, I white heat embossed them, then machine stitched two of them together leaving the tops open so sequins could be inserted. After adding the sequins, I just glued the tops closed (as opposed to sewing them closed), so they would still resemble real mittens. I backed the mittens with Berrylicious and Red Hot scalloped die cuts (from Blueprints 19) -- I love that this scalloped rectangle coordinates so well with the pretty new large (A2 card sized) scalloped rectangle from Blueprints 20!
On the Grout Gray panel behind the mittens, I stamped Nordic Knits with Sweet Tooth Pigment Ink, then die cut it with the stitched rectangle from the new Blueprints 20. I think this Blueprints is my most favorite yet! I adore all the stitched and scallop details -- like the stitched fishtail banner I used for the sweet Cozy Mittens sentiment (stamped in Red Hot Premium Dye Ink) AND the darling little heart from the BP20 "quilt panel" was a perfect fit!
Inside, I stamped the row of cross-stitching from Nordic Knits in Grout Gray Premium Dye Ink and added a Cozy Mitten die cut from Red Hot cardstock, stamped with the other darling sentiment from the Cozy Mitten stamp set:
