A share from my 'Drafts' folder today as no card making been done at all this week.
Here is the confession - THIS IS THE ONLY CHRISTMAS CARD I HAVE MADE THIS YEAR!!!!So no doubt once again I shall be madness itself nearer the time...
I have a collection of these window dies. Like most dies I have bought they are hardly used😔😔.... my crafting seems to go in phases.. Stamps, Dies, Fussy, CAS and I never have quite decided on the one that fits me best.
Behind the window die is the tiniest bit of watercolour card, stamped with some teeny trees and heat embossed.
Was a bit fiddly but eventually managed to get the tree placement right.
The holly die was simply coloured and re-assembled and I added some glossy accents onto the berries and a bit of blingy before adding it to a piece of folded card for the window ledge.
I used the brick embossing folder for the background as I thought it looked a little 'flat'.
So one made - only another zillion to go!
The weather has been so warm it's hard to think of Christmas and I suppose that I won't think of it again now until November!
Hope the sun is shining where you are and you are not fed up with the sunshine - thanks for popping in today. x

Well it's a start Viv and a lovely one at that. I found a remedy this year as I always have a love hate relationship making my own anfter starting in May for TV, I made them all in January (as well as 50 for my daughter) so all done and dusted.

Time flies when you're having fun so they say - I've not posted for a week either I've just realised! A great idea to use the window die in this way for a Christmas card - love it. I have to admit I'm hoping for some cooler weather so that I can get on with things without breaking out in a sweat!!!
A beautiful Christmas card Viv and the little scene with the trees and the bit of holly makes wonderful window dressing. x

The texture on the background wall is wonderful and the die cut window with the little scene behind is fabulous. The die cut holly and berries just pops off the card and finishes your card off beautifully x Good luck with making the rest of the cards! x.
Hi Viv,
Your first Christmas card is just a marvelous one! Beautiful die and I recognize What you wrote. I'm crafting very often and still have many dies, stamps and other material I didn't use yet....
Thank you for joining us at CHNC.

Lovely card Viv, the window die and deco's are gorgeous.x
I only have one window die and it doesn't get used very often either. Yours looks great here and I might just need to steal your idea! Lol.
Hugs Mrs A.
Ooh it's beautiful! Love the embossing, a lovely touch. I have a window die that I haven't used yet - maybe I should! Well done on making a start on Christmas - you have to start somewhere! xxx

One card done is better than none. Your first card is lovely, so pretty with the window against the brickwall in neutral color.
