3 Layer Window Christmas Card

The die set I used has 8 dies to create a multi-layered card.  I just used the inserts from the original set and included 2 dies from a set that goes along with the original.  I had some extra pieces of silver cardstock that worked perfectly.  I decided to add a piece of navy cardstock behind it so that the white and silver would show better.

Here is a close up of the 3 layers.

I counted and I am already up to 35 Christmas cards.  That is a great beginning to the year!

52 CCT March Technique Challenge

Good morning everyone.  

If you are under quarantine, what a perfect time to make your Christmas Cards and get ahead of the card season!

Here is a window card to go with this weeks theme at 52CCT.

I hand cut the window and made the stain glass by coloring with markers on a piece of acetate.  I took a piece of tin foil and crumbled it up to put behind the acetate.  I actually made two and one of them I smoothed it out.  I was not pleased with the look when I laid the acetate statin glass against it.  The second one I did not flatten it out all the way and I liked the look of it better.   The acetate was glued down onto the tin foil by using my Xyron Creative Station Lite.  Liquid glue was placed along the black window and it was placed over the acetate.  Acetate was trimmed so it was the same at the black edge of the window.

I used Ranger Black Adhesive Foam to stick the window down onto the blue mat. 

Here is a close up of what the tin foil looks like behind the acetate stained glass window.

Show us your window card over at 52CCT!

Christmas Window

Even though I have not shared a great deal, I have been making Christmas Cards all year.  On the off days I do not craft I will start posting some of them, especially since making Christmas Card season is upon many of you.

This is a card I believe I made back in July.  I had many of the pieces left over from 2015 season so decided to use them up.  Here is a post where the extra pieces came from Magical Christmas.  The window scene was recreated but the A2 card itself is different.  

How are you doing on your Christmas Cards?  Have you begun yet?  *S*

Beachy Birthdays

When you live in Florida....it makes sense to make beach birthday cards right?

 So I made a couple!  The one with the window already went to a co-worker and the other is hanging around waiting for a home.

The background of each card came from a Stampendous Stamp Set called "Seaside Chair".  I was so excited to buy this set and I know it will get a lot of uses out of it.  

The Flamingo bird is a die set from Top Dog Dies.  The die set also has a party hat, puddle of water and another wing that I did not use.  Very cute set.  I used a white pen to make the waves in the water in both cards.

The window is a Tim Holtz die and I actually have a piece of acetate behind like a window pane.  I made the background so that it would fit in the window.  The shells are just some buttons I had leftover from years ago.

Thank you for stopping by once again!

Serene Winter Day

You know in your head what you want to create for a card but do not have all the pieces?  Well...I have been wanting a window die to create a card like this for a long time.  I finally broke down and ordered one.  These cards were so much fun putting together that I ended up making 3. 

  

A perfect serene winter day!
