Happy Saturday. I hope it finds you well with many blessings surrounding you and comfort in your heart as these days are hard on each one of us for a multitude of reasons. Hopefully with the holidays around the corner you can find joy in family, friends and community events. It all starts next week with the sales and crazy shopping sprees but I hope you don't lose sight of what is truly the reason for the season.
With that said I have a holiday card to share. The sentiment stamp Season's Greetings and Winter Maple tree stamp are by Stamp N Plus. They have a large variety of stamps available for any type of crafting project. Stop by the Stamp N Plus Website for pages of fabulous stamps.
The window was cut out using my Cricut and the Christmas Noel cartridge which unfortunately is discontinued. But they have a couple of other window dies that I have my eyes on like THIS which is rounded and THIS one which is straight.
So I cut the back piece and stamped on it the tree stamp twice in green Memento Ink. I staggered them a little so I could add snow that looked like it was on hills. Next I inked the sky Broken China distress ink color with an ink blender. And finally I drew some hills with my Stickles and moved it to the side to dry.
The window frame was also white and I wanted to change it up a little bit. I used Brushed Corduroy distress ink again with an ink blender and made the frame really stand out by spraying it with water mixed with Perfect Pearls. The pictures just don't do them justice. I moved the frame to the drying area and continued on with the rest of my card. Distress inks, Stickles and Perfect earls are all products from Ranger Industries.
The patterned paper manufacturer is unknown for two reasons; first the background paper was a gift I won as a door prize at a crop and second the strip of paper the sentiment is on is from the Scrapbook Outlet and they get their paper from many different manufacturers. Neither piece of paper had a company name on the back.
The sentiment stamp is a beautiful font which I heat embossed with white embossing powder also by Stamp N Plus. HERE is a link to it. To the snowflake on my card is a brad by Creative Imaginations.
Once the pieces of the window are dry I applied foam adhesive on the frame and adhered it to the background. I really love making this type of scene card, so be prepared for some more this holiday season.
If anyone has the dies I mentioned above or something similar and you want to do a small swap for some of these windows, I would be thrilled to trade with you. I will make the frames brown for you or keep them white-pick your fancy.

As always, thank you for stopping by. Enjoy your weekend.
