Hello and welcome! I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving - we had a great time visiting our youngest daughter and enjoyed eating lots of good food, working on puzzles, going to a craft fair and to several fun dog friendly restaurants. Now it's on to getting ready for Christmas!
I made this one layer Christmas card with a new to me die from Memory Box called "Secret Cabin" and the sentiment is from Altenew's "Happy Holidays" stamp set.
I die cut the cabin from the front of the heavy base card stock card base, but ran it through folded in half. I knew the card stock was too thick to cut through both layers but it did leave a nice impression of the cabin die on the inside of the card. Then I used a Brutus Monroe circle mask to ink the inside of the card so it would show through to the front. I used Distress Inks in "Iced Spruce" and "Chipped Sapphire". Below in another picture of my card:
I have got to get busy and finish my Christmas cards!
Thanks so much for stopping by!
