Welcome to Week 2 of the Art With Heart Heart of Christmas. This year we will be hopping weekly until the end of November, so hopefully we can provide you with some festive inspiration. Our host for this year's blog hop is the lovely Sharon Davern.
For my card this week I have decided to break open the brand new Window Wishes stamp set and the matching dies. This bundle is in the new mini Catalogue. I have also chosen another new product from the same catalogue, the Lights Aglow Specialty paper. I originally received this lovely paper as part of a team share but love it so much I have subsequently ordered some more!
My starting point for this card was to die cut the window frame using white and black cardstock and then mount it on a piece of the Lights Aglow paper. I chose this paper because it makes me think you are looking from the inside to the night sky outside. I have also added a hill slope using White Glimmer paper to hopefully make it look like the home is atop a snow covered hill. The home has been stamped in Real Red and has been die cut using the matching dies for both the base of the home and the roof. I have also added a bow die cut from Real Red Glimmer paper , to the top of the window frame.
I have then mounted this scene onto a piece of white cardstock that I have embossed using one of the Wintry 3D embossing folders.
The sentiment is from the Brightest Glow stamp set and has been stamped in Versamark and then embossed using Gold embossing powder. It was a bit hard to see this in the photo of the whole card so the photo below shows it in ore detail. The sentiment has been die cut using one of the circular frame dies from matching dies.
The little stars in the left hand corner have been cut using Real Red and Gold glimmer paper and one of the Twinkling Lights dies. These have been popped on some glue dots to add some depth.I have also added a few Red Adhesive Backed Pearls.
Finally all of this has been mounted on another piece of the Lights Aglow paper but this time one of the red pieces, and then mounted on to some thick white cardstock.

ReplyDeleteI love how you have used the window dies to create a gorgeous snow covered scene. Love all that shimmer and glitter!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun array of new goodies you've used to create this delightful card, T! I love the red glimmer bow as a finishing touch, and the DSP (my favourite) makes for a lovely night sky. Great to see these window dies used; they're so pretty.
