While we all dream of a white Christmas, looking out the window, wishing for snow, why not take matters into your own hands with this pretty stamped card. A central window with a white background, surrounded by punched out white snowflakes creates the perfect scene for you to send to friends and relatives.

Punch Embossed Noel Christmas Card

1 Trim kraft paper to slightly smaller than card blank. Stamp an all-over pattern using the Continuous Stamp Wheel™ and Gifts Continuous Stamps.

2 Create the window using Everywhere Window Punch™ - Square. Do not hesitate to use the grid on the tool for easy alignment.

3 Emboss snowflakes onto white paper using the ShapeBoss™ and Winter Stencil, then fix behind the window aperture with double-sided tape. Decorate with self-adhesive gems.

4 Tear a scrap of white paper to create a snowy border. Ink the edge with a brown pad and fix to the kraft paper.

5 Fix ribbon around the bottom of the panel. Ink the edges with brown and fix to the card with double-sided tape.

6 Use the Squeeze Punch to create a scalloped square from white paper and emboss with a snowflake. Ink the edges with brown and fix to bottom of the card with 3-D foam pads.

7 Cut out four triangles from scraps of turquoise paper and ink the edges in brown. Decorate with alphabet stickers and fix to the card with foam pads. Create faux stitching with black finer liner pen.

8 Punch small snowflakes from scraps of white paper, fix to the card and decorate with self-adhesive gems. Finish off with a seam binding double bow.
