I started this card by stamping the "Christmas blessings" sentiment, from Meet Me Under the Mistletoe, in Jet Black ink, in the top center of a 5" x 3-3/4" piece of vellum.
I then ran that vellum through my Big Shot to achieve the textured polka dots before machine-stitching it, with red-threaded, straight stitches, over a 5-1/4" x 4" piece of aqua, medallion print, to the white cardstock, card face.
The little table was created by die-cutting two of the Sweet Borders Sweet Cuts dies from white cardstock and a gingham print.
I then topped it with a stamped and watercolored, in Pumice Stone Distress Ink, mug, which I dressed up with a stick of peppermint and white-embossed snowflake and puff of steam, as well as a stamped, in Antique Linen Distress Ink, and watercolored cupcake. All images were stamped and/or embossed on watercolor paper die cuts and popped up with foam tape. A couple of red sequin berries; length of Baker's Twine, tied in a bow; and white, Gelly Roll pen details complete the look.
