I didn't get a chance to make many Christmas cards this year. I ended up working on a number of large project instead. Then, there were lots and lots of baked goodies. Anyway, it just didn't happen this year. I'm thinking about doing a ton of them early in the new year so I'm ready for next year.
This card was made fairly quickly but I love it. I used some acetate (I have a ton of it from all of the packaging around my house and I never seem to work it out to use it.) to attach the snowy house to the card. This next picture shows the card straight through. I used rock candy stickles on the snow covered roof and the ground. The oval frame was a freebie from SVGCuts. Isn't it lovely.
I placed the acetate between the top of the card and the next layer.
When I designed this card in my head, I embossed the card topper and then put the oval frame around it. However, when I put the frame around the oval with the embossing, it was just too much.
So, I made two cards. Each is very different but uses the same basic cuts.
I love this Tim Holtz embossing folder. I ran the card topper through twice, once for each end of the card. The card topper is 1/2 inch smaller than the card base. Again, I cut an oval in the base and the card topper and put a piece of acetate between the two in order to afix the snowy house onto the card.
Here is the card opened up so you can see through the card.
I tried to get a closer view of the embossing but I couldn't get a crisp clear picture of it.
I hope you enjoyed my Christmas cards and had yourself a wonderful holiday. I'm trying to finish one big project which I hope to be able to share in the next day or so. Stay warm and safe and happy crafting.
