Hi, everyone! Are you looking for a unique Christmas card to send out this year? It’s Teri<\/a> here, and I’m going to show you how to make window scene Christmas cards that are sure to wow your friends! <\/p>\n

These cards are easy to make with a little creative muscle and a few basic paper crafting supplies! <\/p>\n

Starting the Window Scene<\/h4>\n

Start by cutting a window from cardstock. You can either use a window die or a paper trimmer. If you are using a paper trimmer, simply cut a rectangle and then cut four squares out of it. <\/p>\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

You’ll also want to cut four squares of patterned paper slightly larger than the openings, to place behind the windows. <\/p>\n

Stamp or write a sentiment on the front of the window. Set the window on a card base. Use a pencil to mark the window’s openings. Adhere the patterned paper squares to the card. <\/p>\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Place a piece of transparency film on the back of the window panel. Add a die-cut tree the card. Use the tree as it is or decorate it by adding gems or enamel dots to it.<\/p>\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Flip the window panel over and add strips and blocks of 3D Foam to it. You can use Crafty Foam Tape<\/a> or you can make your own strips and blocks by freehand cutting them from a 3D Creative Foam Sheet<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Complete your window scene by adding a Christmas die-cut, like a Santa or reindeer. To make it pop, adhere it with 3D Foam. I decided to trace the shape with a pencil on a piece of 3D Foam Creative Sheet, cut it out with my scissors and affix the die-cut right onto it.<\/p>\n

\n

You can kick things up a notch by decorating the die-cut. I gave Santa a glittery nose by mounting an Adhesive Dot<\/a> to it and dumping glitter on top. So fun!<\/p>\n

Kicking Up Your Window Scenes Even More<\/h4>\n

Another fun way to kick up your window scene Christmas cards is to add a little snow to the windows. Randomly apply 3D Foam Circles<\/a> to the windows and the dump white flock or glitter on them. <\/p>\n

Craving more realistic snowflakes? Try using the 3D Foam Snowflakes<\/a> instead! <\/p>\n
