I have this fun layered card to share using one of the darling new release, paired up with some classic items from previous releases! And, I've been trying to film more videos and build my YouTube channel a bit, so I even have a video tutorial for this card! If you get a chance to watch, I'd love to know what you think!

Here is the video tutorial showing how I put this card together:

Since it's DIEcember, I kept the stamping on this card to a minimum, and focused on lots of die cutting! I loved the adorable Picture Book Mocha die from this release, and since I've also been in love with Buffalo plaid...it was only a matter of time until those two items were going to come together!

The background of my card is the previously released Holiday Knit Background - such a classic. I layered it over a Fog cardbase - love this soft gray color so much!

Sentiment was is from an older CZ Design paring - Hello You Stamp set and Hello Wafer Dies. The big hello is heat embossed in white on the die cut black word, and the smaller supporting sentiment is stamped in black on some Lipstick cardstock that was trimmed down with Sentiment Labels Wafer Die.

I used Nested Circles to die cut a vellum circle, and a kraft cardstock circle to nestle that little cup on. I tore the edge on the kraft paper to create a "ground" for the cup to rest on, then trimmed the sides of the circle to fit the edges of the front panel. I also added wiggly eyes to the cup - cause why not?!?

A bit of jute twine tied along the bottom finishes this sweet card off!

If you are looking for more inspiration with this fabulous release, I have a few other cards I've been posting over the past week - click on the photos or the links underneath each of them for more details on what I used and how I put them together!
