A Winters View

Hello there :)

There are some lovely Christmas stamp sets released this year and it's fun to mix and match them with older sets so we can give them some more love 😊

I have done just that with this card I made for my DT blog post at Seven Hills Crafts this week...


I've used the new City Sidewalks from Mama Elephant to make the background scenery and the older Winter in the Park from Lawn Fawn in the foreground. The layers open up to see the view unfold...



The middle layer of trees are from an MFT stamp set called O'Christmas Tree, I love how basic they are so they don't compete with the detail in the city scenery. I have a few more details on the Seven Hills Crafts blog here but basically I made the card in three parts..


I decided to make a card stand and attach it to the back of the card... it did stand up of its own accord but I thought this would display the card better...



Love the City Sidewalks set, I can see it will be good for other cards aside of Christmas with those blocks of buildings. This card was fun to make.. more of a special card rather than one for repetitive production though 😉 

Thanks for stopping by

  1. Jenny you're going to cost effective a small fortune lol. I've not been to seven hills crafts yet as had no time. ( forgot to be honest lol) but I've not started on my Xmas cards yet so will probably do an order tomorrow. Thanks for sharing your ideas. When I have one worthy of the net I will post one lol.
