Warm Hugs

Hello everyone!  This is Cassandra from Creating with Color by Cassandra.  And today I have a super cute little encouragement gift that I made for a friend of mine.

Ok, I know that many of you are soooooo over Frozen, but if you are a Disney nut like me...it will never get old!!!!  Hee!  To make this fun this scene, I used the Jaded Blossom ~ Scallop Caddy Die.  Instead of putting the two cut pieces together like normal,  I cut and manipulated it a bit to make the box fit my needs.

All of the different colors of cardstock are from Papertrey Ink.  The fun snowflake paper in the background is from the DCWV ~ Arctic Wishes Stack.  And for the sign pole in the background I used The Twinery ~ Blue Shimmer Twine.

I cut the sun using the Jaded Blossom ~ Spring Dies 2.  The sentiment is from the Jaded Blossom ~ Encouragement.  And I cut the sign using the Jaded Blossom ~ Flag Dies 2.  

I cut the heart using the Jaded Blossom ~ Valentine Dies.  The "HUGS" is from the Jaded Blossom ~ Valentine Bingo.  The "warm" is from the Jaded Blossom ~ Winter Wishes.  And the "and" is from the Jaded Blossom ~ Pamper Yourself.

Well  my creative friends, that's it for me today.  Have a great day everyone.  I will see you all again soon.
