Distinctive Door & Wonderful Windows Christmas Home Card by Mendi

Hello and welcome! This is Mendi here today, popping in to share a house-themed Christmas card featuring our Distinctive Door Dies and Wonderful Windows Dies.

I enjoyed working with a larger 5x7-inch canvas for this Christmas card, which gave me plenty of space to create a beautiful holiday scene. In the summertime, deer visit daily and take their turns pressing their noses to our daylight basement window, so I loved the idea of adding the deer and cardinal visitors to the foreground using the Rustic Winter Dies. I decorated the porch with fir trees, wreaths, bows, and snow from the Distinctive Door Holiday Add-on Dies.

I altered the roof die from the Distinctive Door set to cut out the gable with my scissors and added the look of lap siding by scoring my cardstock every .25" using a scoring tool. I inked behind each lantern with Mustard Seed Distress ink with a PinkFresh Studio Blending Brush to give it the look that they are glowing. To add visual interest to my roof and provide the general idea of shingles, I cut two 3.5" wide x 1.5" high strips of grey cardstock and then "embossed" them with the Dotted Diamond Landscape Dies. I cut them into two separate strips to piece back together since the die is only 5.5" wide, and I thought it would be easier to line them up as two individual pieces than trying to line up the pattern on one long piece. I completed my card by heat-embossing a sentiment from the Build-a-Greeting Holidays Stamps onto a red banner using the Brilliant Banner 3 Dies.

That wraps up my project for today. Thanks so much for hanging out with me. I hope I've inspired you to spread a little happiness by sending out a card to someone you love. 💛
