For today's card I made a Recessed Window card. Splitcoaststampers has a great tutorial on how to make this type of card. I started by cutting out my window frame as it is a different size than the tutorial. I centered the window frame onto my card front and traced the inside and outside frame dimensions. From there I used a 1/4" just like the tutorial to make my box.
The card layers are the window frame with snow and a wreath, acetate, glitter card stock and card base. I cut the window, wreath, fireplace and Christmas tree with my Cricut. Then I did a bunch of fussy cutting using paper that had the stocking and presents on it. I punched the rug and placed it in front of the fireplace. I have a little bit of foam tape behind the presents and stocking and between my two layers of Christmas tree to extra dimension.
I used a bunch of stickles for to decorate my Christmas Tree and the wreath. I used Snow-Tex to add some dimension to the snow on the window frame.
Thanks so much for stopping by. Be sure to check back tomorrow to see what Tina from Tina's Scrap Corner has to inspire you.

Wow!Wow!Wow! What a really cool card! Oh I'll have to look into this at Splitcoast. All the cuts are interesting in their own way, really like the snow effect on the window.
