What a meaningful and supportive comment (+ compliment), dearest Ivana. Thank you so much.

Red is one of my very favourite colours. Years ago on my (now long since retired) vintage fashion blog, I penned a post about how red was my signature (wardrobe) colour. I still wear it often to this day, as I feel very comfortable and at home in/around red as a general rule. Plus, if you ask me, it’s very nearly as versatile as neutral shades.

I craft with red a fair bit, too, and hope that the projects I share here featuring this fiery colour will continue to help inspire you, my sweet friend (everything – and I really do mean everything – you share on your blog and SM inspires me to no end).

Immense hugs & the happiest of wishes for a safe, cozy February,

Thank you sweetly, dear Angie. I too adore seeing (and creating) festive makes the whole year through. I would venture to guess that it means we’re naturally celebratory people who cherish the holidays and their associated traditions + imagery. 🥰

Very true regarding whipping up wintry makes during the dog days of summer as a means to try and help beat the heat. I’ve been known to that before as well – especially in our current home, as it does not have central air or AC. Suffice it to say, I’ve grown all the more fond of Christmas in July crafting since we moved into this house almost three years ago now. 😄

Big hugs & scores more thanks!

You are wholeheartedly welcome, dear Emma. It’s a joy and pleasure to visit your blog and be inspired by your latest (fabulous!) makes.

Many heartfelt thanks in turn for the kindness and support that you bless my own blog with it.

I’m delighted that the web led our paths to cross and really look forward to seeing what you share with us on your blog in 2021.

Oodles of hugs coming right back at you!

Sweet Kate, you have got me blushing up a storm. Thank you wholeheartedly on all counts.

Goodness is it comforting to know that I’m not alone in pondering that point. Now granted, I’m the first to admit that I am not a very speedy paper crafter, but still it’s just mind-blowing how quickly some crafters can create (and not just their literal projects, but accompanying blog and SM posts, too).

My hat is off to them big time, but by the same token, so is it to all those who create at any speed. Creativity shouldn’t feel like a race and there’s little sense, I find, in wasting perfectly good energy and time on comparing one’s own output speed to that of fellow crafters. We each go at the clip we’re best able to at any given moment and that is 100% okay.

Aww! Thank you! I’m rather chaffed – to burrow a great word from UK English – with the acrylic paint “snow” technique and can easily see myself using it again.

Big hugs & the happiest of wishes for a cozy, wonderful January-into-February,
♥ Autumn

You’re wonderfully kind, Carol. Thank you so much!

Indeed, were this festive greeting destined for my beloved mama, it very likely would have become a permanent fixture in our festive decor. I might just have to whip something similar up (possibly on a small canvas) for future holiday seasons at our house.

I really appreciate your comment and visit. Thank you again!

PS: I’m following your lovely site on Bloglovin’ now.

You are terrifically kind, dear Debi. Thank you so much!

Humbly, this is one of my favourite cards both of last year and that I’ve created to date, so it means all the more to me that you’re a fan of it, too.

With less than 11 months to go now until next Christmas, my mind is already dreaming up ideas for some of 2021’s festive greetings (which I really look forward to making).

Scores of hugs & happy wishes for a tail cozy end of January,
♥ Autumn

What an awesome vote of support, sweet Sanne. Thank you SO much!!!

Your wish is my command. I feel exactly the same way and am finding that I’m falling ever more in love with Christmas/winter crafting with each passing year – much as I am with wintertime itself. The older I get, the more I want it to be fall, winter, or early spring pretty much the whole year-round. (The fact that our current house lacks central air or AC likely contributes to that fact, lol!).

Big hugs & tons more thanks coming your way!
♥ Autumn

You are blush-inducingly kind, dear heart. Thank you very much!

This dark, subtly shabby chic, thoroughly festive card is both one of my favourite of 2020 and that I’ve ever made point-blank, so I’m extra touched to know that it really resonated with you as well.

May you be well and safe, happy and in the best health realistically possible this winter, too, my lovely friend.

Huge hugs,
♥ Autumn
