Welcome by today! It's so nice to have you visit me. Today I'm sharing a Christmas card that I was inspired to create when I saw the Make It Monday Challenge on Nichole Heady's Blog by Dawn McVey. I had fun with it.
I used some Carta Bella Christmas Delivery patterned papers, red jingle bells, black burlap string, the Love Lives Here Stamp Set from PTI, and I used the Button Card Die to create my window. Pretty simple card, really. This sweet little tutorial helped my card come together rather quickly and nicely. I love the idea of cutting the window in your card by die-cutting a hole that peeks through into the inside of your card, and stamping the focal point on the inside. Something new for me!
Here are the challenges where I will be sharing this card. I hope you will come and play along as well. Challenges are fun, and it's always the best when everyone joins the fun!

Nichole Heady's Papertrey Ink Blog - Make It Monday Challenge #299 - Dawn McVey has a fabulous sentiment window tutorial on the blog today. I used the PTI Love Lives Here Stamp Set for my sentiment, holly, berries and Christmas Trees. I used the PTI Button Card Die to create my window.
