Hello! It's Kara and I hope everyone has had a wonderful holiday season. As we approach the new year I like to send out my holiday thank you cards. I don't send out a ton of them, but I especially like to send a thank you to family and friends far away who have sent me a gift. I'm not able to give them a hug in person so a handmade card is the next best thing!

I couldn't resist making another window card scene with the adorable Holiday Houses stamp set. I started by die cutting two white panels with the same size rectangle die. In one panel ;I die cut a window using the large oval from Basic Labels Dies. I positioned the window panel on top of the second panel and traced the inside of the oval with a pencil very lightly. This way I knew exactly where to apply my distress inked evening sky.

Once my sky was compete, I die cut a few pieces of cardstock with the Landscape Border Die to create my snowy hills. I adhered them together with thin dimensional adhesive so as not to add too much bulk, but still create dimension. I was then able to tuck in all of the tiny houses and trees to create my village.

I used the Basic Greetings Die to die cut the word Thanks several times and adhered them together to create a chipboard-like embellishment. I used a few more bits from the Basic Labels stamp and die set to create the secondary sentiment.
