View from the Grand Chalet

Christmas

There's a fabulous window die in the release that cuts in a unique way — it's designed to open outward. For my card, I envisioned throwing open the windows to a fabulous outdoor scene. Wouldn't you love to look out on this scene?!

While you can use the die to cut the window with open shutters, I wanted to create backed panels from a contrasting cardstock. I dry embossed the card front, then I placed the die on the backside of the card front and cut the window. I opened the window panels to the front, and cut about half of the panel off. I then die-cut the woodgrain cardstock with the window die and cut out the two shutters. I backed these with a rectangular panel and adhered the panels to the cut-off shutters on the white card base.

I filled the sleigh with a mixture of greenery cut from Meadow and Dill cardstock using the Small Garden Sprig and Garden Sprig dies.

  5. This is a spectacular card! I love how Jean set the scene and how she used all of her dies to work together on this card! A real BEAUTY!!!
