Christmas Window Wishes

As I've mentioned before, I love windows, and I loved detailed cards! I created this card from several I have seen.  I love how it turned out!  I love the feeling it evokes!! It utilizes the Gold and Rose Gold Metallic paper as well as the GORGEOUS Lights Aglow DSP.  Lovse how it glimmers and shines!


Measurements:
  • Evening Evergreen: 1/2 sheet, scrap (tree)
  • Gold Specialty Paper: 3" x 4 1/2" (window frame)
  • Brushed Gold Foil: 2 1/2" x 3 3/4"
  • Lights Aglow DSP (N): 2 1/2" x 3 3/4" (wallpaper behind window)
  • Very Vanilla: 2 pcs @ 4" x 5 1/4" (1-inside, 1-outside), scrap (candles)
  • Mint Macaron: 3 1/4" x 3 3/4"
  • Cherry Cobbler: scrap (bow)
  • Gold Glimmer Paper (N): scrap (flames)
To Make This Card:
  • Run one Vanilla layer through the Brick & Mortar 3D Embossing folder, then attach to folded Evening Evergreen card.
  • Die cut the "window frame" from Gold Specialty Paper.
  • Die cut the actual "window" from the Brushed Gold Foil  Note: the outside edge does not get cut out, so you will either calculate the size ahead of time (which I have done for you), or trim to what you need after it is cut out. This kind of surprised me!
  • Now, attach the "window" to the wrong side of the "window frame".
  • Next, stamp "garland" in Evening Evergreen onto piece of Mint Macaron. Die cut with corresponding die. Set aside, for now.
  • Die cut "tree base" from Evening Evergreen.  Die cut "tree detail" from remaining Mint Macaron scrap.  Adhere together and place inside "window" where desired.
  • Next, adhere the "wallpaper" behind all.  You'll need to trim the curved edges. Attach to card front.
  • Stamp "candles" in Cherry Cobbler onto scrap of Vanilla.  Die cut with corresponding die.
  • Die cut "flames" from Gold Glimmer paper.  Attach behind "candles", and add to "window sill" of "window".
  • Attach "garland" to "window".  Note: I wanted as much of the pretty window to show as possible!
  • Die cut "bow" from Cherry Cobbler. Attach to "candles" as shown.  Note: I chose to use the gorgeous bow from the Cottage Wreaths, rather than the skinny one in the window dies!
  • Finish with scattered Festive Pearls in red and gold! And a "star" on top of the "tree"
