'Tis the Season ...

Welcome back to The Open Window.

I've got just a couple of quick projects for you today.

If you visited yesterday, you saw the cards I did using the rub-ons

from Bo Bunny.  The papers that I've used today are also from

that same collection called 'Blitzen'.

There are so many warm elements between the colors and the designs,

so I combined 3 different sheets along with a label cut out as well.

The trees were created using a die cut from Lil' Inker Designs.

I highlighted the wreath, the greenery under the turtle doves & the trees

with Stickles in 'Stardust'.

Additional bling comes from the brads, add bakers twine

from The Twinery and done!

   

I'm not sure if this has happened to you, but my favorite Swiss Dot EF

will no longer EMboss!  I have no idea why and I even asked my friends

over on FB to see if it's ever happened to them.  So far, I'm the only one!

All of my other EF's still work fine, so it has to be a worn folder.

It does still DEboss, though and I really wanted the idea of snow falling,

so I went with it!

These trees were cut using the same die cut using beautiful paper

from My Mind's Eye's 'Lost & Found Christmas'.

The stamped sentiment is from Market Street Stamps.

I hope you enjoyed these couple of projects.

I created them especially for the challenge over on the

CARDS magazine blog this week calling for Christmas Trees

as the focal point.

I hope you will take a moment and check out my guest post

over at Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps today.

Another winter-themed project awaits!
