Belle Papier {pretty paper}

I’m having the hardest time putting away this Thomas Kinkade Christmas paper! I have two designs to share with you today and another two for next week. This paper is so pretty that all you need is a design, a stamped sentiment and a few simple embellishments and you are done.

Also…if you’re looking for a great excuse to do some more rubber shopping ;), Cornish Heritage Farms has double CHF points on all purchases today and Saturday.

Kinkade Greetings

This first design was actually inspired by a SCS Sketch Challenge on Wednesday. It’s been months since I’ve been able to play along and this sketch was so pretty…I couldn’t resist. Laundry and dishes can wait, right?!

Quick Tip: Highlight a sentiment by placing your embellishment at one end of it.

TK Christmas Window Card

This design uses my new Rectangle Spellbinders Dies. I wanted to

try out a window effect and decided to pair them up with my Rectangle Nestability dies. I was wondering exactly how they would be proportioned and it they would work together. I should have known that Ellen’s attention to detail would make them PERFECTLY compatible. Look how even that window is! In case it’s hard to see exactly how I put this card together in the photos…I die-cut and embossed my patterned papers. I think die-cut out my large rectangle from the Kraft card front. Inside I adhered a Clear Card Sheet layer in the window and then adhered my label cut images in front of it. IRL, it kind of gives the effect of hanging in mid-air. I also added a layer of patterned paper inside the card to add a little interest and hint at the inside.

Quick Tip: Adding the Clear Card Sheet layer adds stability to the large cut-out window.
