I’m so excited to share a fun card I created while playing with some new “goodies” I picked up during the Black Friday sale! I used the Friend-Chip Forever Die set from Pixi Dust Designs along with beautiful paper from Cardstock Warehouse to create a cozy, playful design.
I built a repeat-pattern background of cookies using the dies, cutting each cookie from neutral cardstock tones and in-laying them into place. This gives the panel a clean, polished look while still feeling warm and homey. The cookie background is the main focus, filling the panel with texture and charm.
The little milk container sits playfully among the cookies, popped up with foam tape for dimension. Its soft blue accents mimic a classic milk label, adding a subtle pop of color without taking attention away from the cookie pattern. To create a balanced and whimsical cluster, I added a small red heart near the milk container, which draws the eye naturally and adds a touch of warmth.
For the sentiment, I used the die included in the set. I die-cut it and cleverly used the negative as a stencil, inking over it to create a crisp and bold message that blends perfectly with the cookie background. This technique gives the sentiment a polished, professional look while keeping it integrated with the overall design.
To add a playful finishing touch, I scattered a few tiny brown “crumb” dots across the panel. They’re subtle enough to not distract from the main elements but help tie the cookies, milk container, and sentiment together, making the background feel lively and complete.
