I started this card by stamping the three main characters from the Day 24 Yule stamp set using InkOn3 Blackout Ink, then coloring them with my Olo markers. Once they were fully colored, I fussy cut each image and set them aside. For the background, I die cut the Holiday Hall craft dies, cutting the lattice window from Kraft cardstock and the window panels from Madero Beach cardstock. I layered those pieces onto a piece of pattern paper from the Magical Escape paper pad that feels like a festive winter ball scene, then carefully trimmed around the die cut so it looked like you were peeking through a grand hall window into the celebration.

Next, I die cut a rectangle from the Card Basics die set out of Madero Beach cardstock and glued my window scene to the center before adhering everything to a top folding A2 card base. I popped up the three characters along the bottom of the scene with one millimeter foam adhesive to bring them forward. I die cut a banner from the Sentiment Strip dies, stamped the sentiment “Deck the Great Hall” with Nocturne Versafine Clair ink, and popped that up at the top of the card. To finish the front, I die cut the candles from the Holiday Hall craft dies out of white card stock, colored them with Olo markers, assembled the layers, and popped them up for extra dimension. Inside the card, I stamped the sentiment “Yule be in my heart this holiday season” using the same Nocturne ink to tie everything together.
