After mounting on Whisper White 100730, cut out houses from Nordic Noel 135822 (you want the extra support as the houses are on thinner paper.
Used my Oh Christmas, Oh Christmas Tree template - http://brightnbeautifuldesigns.com/2014/10/21/oh-christmas-tree-oh-christmas-tree - to cut the card out of Neutrals – Basic Gray 131187
Also use the background for the houses from the Nordic Noel. Cutting it just inside my Basic Gray card front.
I stamped the Santa & sleigh from Holiday home 135095 in Basic Black 126980 and embossed with Stampin’ emboss Black 109133.
For the moon use Aqua Painters 103954 ¼” filled with water with a few drops of Island Indigo Refill 122932. Do some circles on Whisper White until you get the desired effect. Cut them out using Circles Collection 130911. Pop it and the Sleigh and used SNAIL Adhesive to secure the other end of the Sleigh to the moon.
The From our home to yours is stamped again using Basic Black on Subtles, Pool Party 122924, cut out using a piece from Snowflake Card 135855. Glued, then embellished with Dazzling Details 124117.
Place the houses using Stampin’ Dimensionals 104430. To pop use a single on one home and double on the other one. I also used Tombow Multi-Purpose Adhesive 110755 & Dimensionals to secure the flap over the houses.
The last touch is to add All is Calm Snowflake 137383 tied with a bow of Baker’s Twine Bermuda Bay 134575 and glued with a mini glue dot 103683 rolled up.
You can put what you want on the inside. Here is a suggestion:
The verse is from Beauty of the Season 135779, stamped in Pool Party 126982, on Naturals, White 102316 and framed in Calypso Coral 126983, as well as an extra house that was left over.
It’s all ready to be sent to your favorite person. Use my envelope template so you have room and don’t forget to use a heavy piece of card stock to protect the front during shipping.
