Winter Worlds from My Craft Table — From Hoop to New York

 Hi friends!

I hope you're cozy, creative, and maybe sipping something warm while scrolling through today’s post.

Winter has officially taken over my craft table — and I couldn’t be happier.

This time, I ended up creating two very different scenes: one peaceful and snowy, the other festive and full of city charm.

Let me show you what I’ve been up to!

❄️ Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas

The first card is a snowy fairytale tucked inside a hoop.

Little animals in Santa hats and scarves gaze up at the stars — three of them twinkling in a deep blue sky.

I used some of my favorite old dies and gave them a fresh twist by framing the whole scene in an embroidery hoop.

At the bottom, the sentiment says it all: Have yourself a merry little Christmas.

This was one of those makes that just came together — no plan, just heart and happy fingers.

🗽 The Tails of New York

The second card is a whole different story — a festive stroll through New York City, animal-style.

Same furry friends, but now they’re rocking stylish hats, reindeer headbands, and a cheeky city vibe.

The red border, snowflake background, and bold title — The Tails of New York — made me smile the moment I put it together.

Behind the scenes: stamps, die cuts, ink smudges, and all the glorious mess that makes crafting so much fun.

✨ What ties them together?

Two cards, two moods — one cozy, one cheeky.

But both are stories told through paper, ink, and a sprinkle of glitter.

I love mixing old favorites with new ideas and letting the characters lead the way.

Let me know which one speaks to you more — the quiet forest or the festive city streets?

Or maybe, like me, you love both and refuse to choose.

Thanks for stopping by — sending you warm hugs and crafty inspiration!
