Paper Pumpkin Possibilities October Blog Hop Nests of Christmas

Welcome to the Paper Pumpkin Possibilities October Blog Hop as we showcase alternative projects featuring the Nests of Christmas Kit. Our wonderful Design Team is excited to share their beautiful projects and ideas to help you get into the spirit of the holiday season. 

For my alternative card design, I chose to use the arch piece from one of the card bases to create a window for my card design. I decided to use Shaded Spruce cardstock for the card base and Blueberry Bushel cardstock for the card front to help make the focal image pop. To create the focal image, I used several of the die cuts and one of the sentiment labels to bring it all together.

This beautiful holiday card is simple to create and a wonderful way to use several of the pieces from the kit to create a pretty alternative design. To add some texture to the background. I embossed the Blueberry Bushel cardstock layer with the Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder to add falling snowflakes to the design. It makes me think of the sky on a snowy night and I love the way the Blueberry Bushel makes the arch window pop. I stamped the sentiment label with one of the sentiments from the exclusive stamp set using the Shaded Spruce ink spot included in the kit. I attached the focal die cuts to the right bottom corner of the window and attached the sentiment label with Stampin' Dimensionals. I love how peaceful this design looks and I think it makes the perfect Christmas card. To complete the design, I added several White Loose Snowflakes to the window background.
