A blog devoted to the cards I make in my tiny upstairs space. When my sister stays there, she calls it an "artist's garret". I'm not an artist, but am an enthusiastic cardmaker - hence the title "Cardmaker's Garret".

A Hot Drink for Winter

I'm trying to get back into making cards and blogging after my vacation.  I seem to have come home feeling very lethargic - too busy a trip plus I came home with a cough (not Covid) so a bit under the weather.  But finally gearing myself up to write a post with this card for the Christmas Cards All Year Round "Christmas / Winter Hot Drink" challenge:


Stamped, watercoloured, popped up on fun foam on blue cs out of which I die cut small snowflakes.

I was inspired by the Christmas Cards All Year Round photo inspiration:









Supplies:
Stamps - Stamplorations
Ink - Versafine Onyx Black
Paper - white and blue cs, mixed media cs
Size - A2
Accessories - watercolour paints, small snowflake dies, fun foam

  1. This is a lovely "get back in the groove" card. I truly believe in that sentiment and I love your take on the inspiration photo. I hope your cough improves and drinking hot liquid is the best for it.

  4. This winter card is filled with cozy feelings, Susan! It's a great idea to use the snowflakes in the background.
    I'm sorry to hear that you were under the weather after your vacation, but glad that you're on the mend.
