It's time again for my monthly Christmas Card Challenge. The challenge for April is Green / Foliage. Foliage could be pine trees, wreaths, evergreen branches, Christmas tree, poinsettias, holly, and much more.
My choice is a green wreath on a window with a night sky behind on a deep red card. I pulled the Cuttlebug Holly Wreath die and folder combination from my die storage, which I have never used. I chose dill textured card stock. First, I cut the wreath with the sizzlet die then ran it through the embossing folder to add the textured design. I cut the window from white card stock with the Memory Box Grand Madison Window die. I spritzed a piece of navy card stock with white acrylic paint to create a night sky and adhered it behind the window. The element was adhered to card front aligned along the top edge. I then adhered the wreath centered on the window. A bling Zot holds the red thread bow over the embossed one on the die. I color printed the greeting onto white card stock and cut it with the Stampin Up Bitty Banners Framelits thin dies. I adhered it below the window.

Card - Challenge - Window
I made this card for this week's challenge on Sparkles Christmas Card Challenge #34 which is windows.
I've had my Madison Window die for a couple of months but I have not used it, so today was the day. I bought the Designer Paper from American Crafts - Camping Trails with the window in mind. I wanted to create a horizon of trees. I cut a snowbank in ivory which I placed near the bottom of the window. I cut the window in white and edged it with a Chocolate Chip ink pad. I stamped the greeting in Chocolate Chip on the same card stock and punch it with the SU! Word Window punch. To create the wall for the window I placed some dark brown paper on the bottom of the card. I created the stripes on the top of the card with SU! retired border stamp and CC ink. I found a blue strip of card stock that worked with the blue in the DP and used it over the join of this 2 elements. I mounted my window with 3D foam tape onto by DP element. I created a wreath for the window which was just the right size so that is a keeper. Check out this posting for instructions. I added a small 5 petal punch in the same blue card stock and glued it to the wreath. I placed a round of 3D foam in the centre cross brace of the window to keep it at the same level as the frame. I added a small rhinestone to the centre of the flower just to add a bit of bling.
