Snowy Scene In a Window

I love so much this Silhouette Cameo cutting file from Bird (http://www.birdscards.com/snow-scene-card/)

that I had to use it again.

If you own a Silhouette Cameo and are  looking for cutting files, you should go visit Bird's blog. She has the most interesting cutting files collection and give them away generously.

I used my cuttlebug and some spellbinder nest die cuts to make the oval frame.

I like to add some yellow tissue paper behind the window, it looks like somebody is home.

I also embossed the white card stock with a snow flakes embossing folder.

Happy Birthday CAS-ual Fridays

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

CAS-ual Fridays!

I definitively had to try this... entering a card on this wonderful site, where I so often found inspiration.

CAS-ual Fridays challenge 51:  happy birthday!

http://cas-ualfridays.blogspot.com/2012/05/cfc51.html

CAS-ual friday is 1 today, happy birthday! Here is my card for you:

 I used the art Impressions stamp "Window to the World" and let my Copics work their magic throughout. I also filled up the coloring with a Crystal Lacquer which gives a glossy and 3D feeling.

Look below how the window panes and the icing of the cake

 shine.

The window open on a cake with one candle but since I wish many more birthdays to CAS-ual Fridays, I had to add the years to come in the background.

The cake is part of a Close to my Heart set called "Make a wish" and the numbers come from another set from Stamps of Life, "Numbers4Cake".

The sentiment on the outside was printed on my computer... I couldn't find "And many more..." anywhere!!!!

Until next time!

Have your cake.... and eat it too

Have your cake...

... and eat it too

I always like toying with dimensional card, or adding a "peeking" window..

I found that wonderful Outside Window stamp from Arts Impressions, and the nice thing about it, is that it couples with a whole set of "window views".

It was hard to decide on a few, so I chose a "happy birthday" one and a "new baby" one.

Here is the inside view:

And a close up of the Window to the World as it is called.

Once I finished coloring the two stamps, I just added a Sparkle' n Sprinkle sentiment on the outside. Since the only thing you see when the card is closed is the cake, it was wonderfully fitting!

Until next time....

Happy Birthday in a Window

SPELLBiNDERS...
... Nestability.

Whoever thought of making dies in concentric shapes had to be a genius.


The blue card-stock was scored every 1/2 inch to give it a little special something...

I like the end result.

I used two consecutive Spellbinder Nestability for the window, and the blue top card stock.

The sentiment was printed on my computer, and I glued a flower punched in the same blue card-stock.

The heart of the flower and the three little pearls were made out of 3D Tulip metallic paint.

Until next time...

Just for my Anonymous fan, who couldn't find my post # 83 of the Window on Hanukkah Scenes, voici "les bougies devant la fenetre" with love...

Until next time....

Newborn Feet

Newborn Feet.

Same card in different color... I found this baby feet image on the internet and printed it on a white linen liner. I then added a color card stock, and punched a little window with a Martha Stewart Punch all over the Page punch.

I used an EK edger punch to finish the card and added a little piece of ribbon at the spine of the card.

Happy Birthday Hanging Window

Happy Birthday Hanging Window

A very simple to make card, that you can customize with different ribbon, sentiment or inside lining.

Below are two versions of it: a linen card with a tiffany blue lining and a blue and brown Martha Stewart ribbon and a Kraft with white linen lining and a smaller Martha Stewart ribbon.

The sentiment is from a Sparkle'n Sprinkle set, Thanks a Bunch.

Window on Hanukkah Scenes

Window on Hanukkah Scenes.

There must be 2001 different way of writing Hanukkah...

After making cards with Christmas scenes on post 78, I was left with some Hanukkah papers, and decided to try myself at those.

The first card would be taken from the inside of a house with a Hanukkiah shining bright...

The two next ones are from the outside looking into a warm house with dreidles turning, piano playing and latkes frying...

Until next time...

Window on Christmas Scenes

Window on Christmas Scenes.

Half the fun of making these cards was in the gathering of the different papers, ribbons and ornaments.

Second step, was to match two papers, one for the outside and one for whatever scene you are peeking through the window.

The first four cards, looking towards the outside: a wintery scene, a night in the wood, a frozen pond or a christmas tree in the snow.

The two next ones, standing outside looking in the house with gifts flying or illuminated christmas tree.

The window itself was cut out with a die cut out of glossy black paper.

Until next time.
