Hello everybody! I don’t know about you but I love slimline cards and I love window cards and if I can use a die to quickly accomplish that create both of those then I am one happy camper! This Doodle Window Slimline Die from Catherine Pooler Designs’ Jolly Holiday release is great for just that. You can add all kinds of stuff in the windows — sentiments, characters, sequins for a shaker, paper etc.

I started by cutting a piece of Neenah 110lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ to 7 x 8-1/2″ and scored at 3-1/2″ for my card base. Then diecut the panel using the Doodle Window Slimline Die. Next I diecut a piece of Simon Says Stamp Card Stock 100# GREEN APPLE with the Catherine Pooler Designs Narrow Stripe Cover Plate Die, a piece of Stampin’ Up! Garden Green 8-1/2″ X 11″ Cardstock with the Dotted Zig Zag Cover Plate Die, and a piece of Simon Says Stamp Card Stock 100# Schoolhouse Red with the Peppermint Twist Cover Plate Die.

I adhered the diecut panels behind the windows with Tombow Mono Multi Liquid Glue and then to the card base. But before adhering them to the card base I stamped a sentiment from Catherine Pooler’s Nice List Stamp Set with Catherine Pooler’s Midnight Ink.

I stamped the hats from Catherine Pooler’s Nice List Stamp Set onto another piece of Neenah 110lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ with Catherine Pooler’s Midnight Ink. I colored them with Cranberry Fizz Ink, Lime Rickey Ink, Deck the Halls Ink and Black Jack Ink and a Blender Pen. I diecut the images with the coordinating Nice List Dies, added some adhesive foam and addedd them to the card. I finished it off by adding some Bottle Green and Autumn Red Nuvo Crystal Drops and some shimmer with a Spectrum Noir Clear Overlay Sparkle Pen.

On the inside of the card, I stamped another greeting from the Lawn Fawn Merry Messages with Lime Rickey Ink and a hat from the Catherine Pooler’s Nice List Stamp Set with Cranberry Fizz Ink.

I started by cutting a piece of Neenah 110lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ to 7 x 8-1/2″ and scored at 3-1/3″ for my card base and then diecut the top panel using the Doodle Window Slimline Die.

I traced the three circles from the Doodle Window Slimline Die onto a piece of Neenah 110lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ and stamped the mittens from Catherine Pooler Caroling Sentiments Stampset with Cranberry Fizz Ink, Lime Rickey Ink, and It’s a Boy Ink and the dots with Deck the Halls Ink in the largest circle. Then stamped the snowflake from Catherine Pooler Caroling Sentiments Stampset with Rockin Red Ink in the smallest circle and made a scene with the trees from the Catherine Pooler Caroling Sentiments Stampset and the snowflakes from the Catherine Pooler’s Nice List Stamp Set with It’s a Boy Ink in the medium circle. I used Grass Skirt, Lime Rickey Ink, and Deck the Halls Ink for the trees and It’s a Boy Ink for the snowflakes.

I added Foam Tape to the back of the pattern paper and adhered the window panels, then adhered it to the card base. I stamped a sentiment from a very old sentiment stampset from my stash onto a piece of of Neenah 110lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ with Cranberry Fizz Ink and trimmed it down to 1 x 3-11/16”, added Foam Tape and added it to the card. I finished it off by adding Autumn Red Nuvo Crystal Drops.

On the inside of the card, I stamped another greeting from the Lawn Fawn Merry Messages with Cranberry Fizz Ink and adhered two of the leftover circles from when I diecut the front panel from Catherine Pooler Designs Under the Tree Patterned Paper.

I have been an avid crafter for two decades and started card making about fifteen years ago and just fell in love. It started as something to reduce stress but now it’s something I can’t live without. It’s so much fun to play with ink and paper and end up with something pretty cool that you can share with someone else. I love the fact that something that brings me so much joy can bring happiness to others too.
i am a wife and mother to two sweet fur babies, Cola and Bailey, that love to hang around while I craft. They bring me just as much joy as crafting. I couldn’t imagine my life without either!
