Craft Fair News

What a fantastic time at the St Michael's craft fair this weekend! Lots of friendly shoppers stopped by to chat at our table, which is always fun.

Window for Floating Image

I'm on a Christmas card kick right now, and this card is inspired by the Papertrey Challenge to create an image floating over a window.

Closeup of window:


















The tree and sentiment are from the Papertrey Ink Winterberry set. Behind my window are some falling snowflakes made with the Papertrey Ink Winter Penguin set.


Card front:



















Inside card:
















I really love this idea and will probably try a few a more variations on it. I don't have a lot of punches to make the window, nor do I have a die-cutter! But I do have a small 1-inch hole punch, and I was thinking I'd try a card with a few small windows instead of one large window. So we'll see how that works out!

Thanks for looking!
