You may have come to my blog from Claire Daly. Blog hops are full circles, so start blog hopping here and and the end of my post (and everyone else's) there is a link to the next post. I've also got a list of all 15 blog hop participants at the end in case of broken links.
For today's blog hop I have used the fabulous Ready for Christmas stamp set and Christmas Staircase Thinlet Dies. They are also available to purchase in a bundle (Ready for Christmas bundle) with a saving of 10%!
Today I have a window card/peek a boo card to share with you (with a horrible reflection, I couldn't photograph it without the reflection!!!)
It's pretty hard to tell from the photo but everything is on the inside of the card except for the sentiment and the second set of present images is also on the card front.
Not that you can see it but, I stamped the tree image prior to putting the die cut "leaves" down and 6 "leaves" perfectly fill the tree. The best part of using the stamped image first is there is no fiddling with die cut placement, you just stick the leaves on top of the stamped image as it all lines up perfectly.
