Hi there sweet friends. Hope you had a great Cyber Monday. Did you shop the day away? The time got away from me so I missed out on some of the deals, but I had fun looking. I have a fun card to share today, kind for different for me, but I had fun making it. The best way I can describe it is as a gatefold card. When I was playing around with this Custom Window Die Cut Template from Our Daily Bread Design and Spellbinders. I came across some neat K & Company Paper for a view of Santa, through the window.
The sentiment from Warm Wishes was cut using Spellbinders Ribbon Banners and behind it I’ve hidden a small flat magnet in order to hold the card closed. The ribbon extends across half of the card so that it can open but I still was able to have a bow :-)
The card is 6″ x 6″ and I used the entire width of 12″ x 12″ paper by scoring at 3″ and 9″ for my basic gatefold card. Then I added flaps on top of that (attached at the center edges on the top and bottom) to hold the Window die cuts. I overlapped two of the window dies on flaps of the card adhering them only on the edges – the left window adhered only on the left edge of the window, the right window adhered only on the right edge of the window
| SUPPLIES I USED |
| Stamps: Our Daily Bread Designs – Warm Wishes Paper: K & Co., Coredinations Ink: Versafine Onyx Black Accessories: ODBD Custom Window Die Cut, Spellbinders Ribbon Banners, Seam Binding, Magnets, Martha Stewart Border Punch |
Thanks so much for stopping by. Sending hugs your way on this glorious day!!
Oh, isn’t that cute! I just love the design with Santa’s sleigh showing in the window! What a lovely card, Becca.
Oh my goodness, this is so gorgeous Becca. I love this one, and I´m truely impressed, how you always seems to find of new ways to make your awesome folds. Would you share a small tut for how this is folded and adhered that window right? I have tryed to see if I can figure that out, but not sure, I´ve got it all right. It´ll be sooo awesome for many types of cards, I think. You´re such a genius hun.
Have a wonderful week and lots of crafty fun, I hope.
Becca — you are simply amazing! What a glorious card. Any child, or child at heart would absolutely love this vision of Santa through the window.
Becca, I just love this. Very different from your usual style as you say, but a great success!

Very interesting gate fold. I love it. Beautiful Christmas card.
Gorgeous! Brilliant gate fold. Perfect in every way. So nice to see your lovely creations again hope this means you are feeling better and able to enjoy playing in your studio.
Blessings Bernie
Not one of your usual cards, but I’d say you should think about doing more of these because this has to be one of my favorites that you’ve done. Your talent amazes me!
Becca,
That is such a lovely card. I wish I had your talent to think up such lovely things.
Thank you
Beautiful card Becca! Hope you’re feeling better today. Dealing with life’s “little obstacles” is never easy.
I am having eye surgery on the 7th and will be “face down” until Dec.21.
Kind of puts a kink into getting ready for Christmas. Your beautiful card has given me the inspiration to “get going”.
Wonder if I can still make cards while face down? LOL
Hugs
Eeek!! This is too clever and too gorgeous!!!! You ROCK, GF!!!! Hugs and blessings, Angie
Gorgeous card

Very clever and pretty inside and out. Nice job. Edna
LOVE!!! It takes me back to childhood :) I hope that we see a tutorial on how you created this card. I agree, the fold would work on so many different occassions. Hope that you are feeling better!
Good Morning Becca
What a wonderful surprise!!
Your cards are always gorgeous and amazing….but for me, this one
is truly inspirational.
Can’t wait for the tutorial so I can start churning them out. What fun!!
Hugs,

I hope this day finds you feeling better. You make my day like a ray of sunshine. I want to thank you for that. I love the card.
Trust you to come up with something so clever and well executed … another Becca Beauty!
Hi…I love this card. I ordered that template and recieved it over a week ago and have to admit that I’m finding it a little challenging to use. It’s not what I had expected. Thanks for the tip. I love the window (and the little squares that it leaves behind…very useful also). TFS :)
Absolutely BEAUTIFUL. I love this card. Hopefully, there will be a tutorial on your wonderful site – I simply must learn how to do this!
Thank you as always for sharing and inspiring all of us. God Bless
I love gatefold cards. Beautiful! Thank you Becca for sharing your amazing talent!
Wow! Simply stunning!
Good morning Sunshine from Quebec! This card is so precious, I just love it to pieces. I said on your last post that it was my favourite card. Know what? This is my favourite card too but in the “fun & adorable” category. Your talent never ceases to amaze and I continue to pray that your health improves.
Your card is adorable Becca. This is something that I never think about doing, stamping on any of my decorative papers. Thank for the great ideas!
This is so sweet. Your talent is just amazing. Thank you for sharing
Good morning Becca ~ as always your card is imaginative, and pretty. Hope you’re having a good day and feeling fine today. Thanks for sharing. Take care.
You’ve been a busy girl! Lovely! And so creative!
Awesome card!! You are sooooo creative. Blessings for a wonderful day.
Totally awesome card. Really like the window die.
wow Becca, this is awesome.
Becca
this is gorgeous.
Very pretty widow scene gatefold card Becca. It brings back some very nice memories. Your creativity amazes me. I love how the windows line up on the front of the card but when open gives a bigger view of the main focal. Beautiful work. As always Becca, TFS!!! :-D
Such a beautiful card. I certainly hope you are putting together a tutorial on this. Your instructions are pretty good, but it’s the attaching the window to the flaps that is a little confusing to me. I can’t quite see how they are attached. I would love to make this card for several friends and family. I already have the paper. Thanks for sharing.
A gorgeous card Becca… I have ordered the window from your Spellbinder and the elegant ovals… That was after I put in a huge order in though Just Rite…. Mentioned your name, so may they will give you a nice pat on the back!!! Seriously we are loving your cards and your layouts and this one is so perfect.. am just loving it… I already have the background, so I fell in love with the window to use for the background.. Hope it doesn’t take too long to get here… I am anxious to get it!!
Hugs and thank you for your gorgeous work… You enspire me..
Hugs, Jean
What a magical card, Becca!
Becca –
What a beautiful card. It is so very different, and I love it! I don’t know how you come up with your ideas, but you are a genius!!
Elaine Allen
That is too cool and it looks as great opened as it does closed!!
Love the Christmas window card. Hmmmm let’s see what i can come up with using this idea. Thanks. My granddaughters will love this.
Best gate card evuh!!!! Just lovely a great use of that die and love that paper with Santa flying across the sky. Hope you are feeling a little better.
TFS
OK Becca,
Another amazing, over-the-top, awesome card! This one kinda goes over my head trying to figure out how you did the attaching of the window panes. Can’t figure it out…. any chance for a quick tutorial that we can watch?? I’d love to add a bunch of these to the Christmas cards I’ve already made to go out this year.
Love all your art and as always- thanks for sharing your talents!
Hugs!!
Lovely & unique card. As always. Sure hope you are beginning to feel better. Miss your posts. Saying a prayer for your good health.
Absolutely gorgeous! You have got to do a tutorial on this card. I learn so much from you, and I do appreciate the time you take to do these tutorials.
Becca, this is amazing (and genius). It would’ve been very cool with just the one window, but when you can display it as two windows…even better. Love, Love, LOVE it! I’ve gotta make one for my Mom. She’ll just love it! Thank you for sharing this awesome card. I’m off to make one. =)
Amazing!
I think you must be feeling better. This is a masterpiece.
I just love this card. Thank you for sharing.
i know you aren’t feeling the best, so do I dare request a tutorial on this card? I am sorry, but I don’t quite understand how you made it AND how did you line up the windows so perfect? I HAVE to make this card!!! I continue to pray for your improved health and that God helps the doctors to figure out how to best help you.
Becca,
That is the coolest card structure I have ever seen. Thank you for all your wonderful creations. You are an inspiration in so many ways. NancyD
Bekka, I absolutely love this card and would love to case it, but I don’t think I have the patience to figure out exactly how to attach everything! This card is so beautiful! If you send it to me for Christmas then I wouldn’t have to get my blood pressure up trying to make one! LOL.
Such loveliness!!
Lovely card – TFS. Wishing you the best.
Have to say when I saw your post in myemail I was afraid to open it , as I just finished my christmas cards this morn. I Knew looking at anything you do I would want to do.I waited a whole hour to open it and of course I want to make this. been looking it over and over trying to figure it all out and I agree we must have you magic tutorial so we can give it the grace you did. this can now replace my “special group cards. Thanks for giving me one more thing to do .:)
OMG! I just love this card!! It is just amazing!!! Would it be possible to get a tutorial (maybe even a video tut) for it? I would love to make something like this!!! Your are such an artist!!! Thank you for all of your inspiration!!
Hugs,
Geri
WOW, BECCA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I HAD TO show my daughter this one! She said, “Cooooool! ” I AGREE!!!!!!! You STILL astonish me!!!!!!!!!!! :)
What a WONDERFUL card, Becca. You are such an inspiration to all of us. TFS and happy holidays.
Another amazing card! Thanks for sharing. Wish I had the equipment needed to make it. But love the inspiration you give. Will continue to pray for your physical needs as well.
How adorable is that?! You are quite the paper engineer. Love it, love it, love it.
What a great card for Christmas, absolutely beautiful.
Oh so gorgeous, Becca. Love the gatefold card.Hope you’re doing okay. I’ve missed your posts.
That is wonderful, I love it.

Oh, this is fabulous and requires studying and a huge WOW response. Love your idea of the magnet hidden behind the scroll. No time now but I’ll return to study the design again. So sorry to hear of your foot-turned-to-back-problems. Do take care of yourself.
I love this! Very clever to hide a magnet in there to keep it closed. I’d love to see a video on this one if you ever find the time!
Becca! We’ve missed you. Doesn’t get much better than this for a Christmas card. And with different paper would be an elegant card for just about any occasion. Hope that things are getting better with the back and foot.
Sending a feel better hug,
R/
LOVE IT! LOVE IT! LOVE IT! I too would like a tutorial, but only when you feel better, you come first.
Very cool! It is fun to use paper as the focal point with very little stamping sometimes. Your are always intricate and interesting.
Oh Becca this is stunning. A truly inspirational card that is so different.
I do hope you are in less pain today and that a solution is found for you very soon. Take care of yourself.
All the best Linda
Wonderful card Becca, just gorgeous, stunning is more like it. Love your work!! I did try and get that window die, but it is now not available until at least christmas or so, they said at least 3-4 weeks before they get it back in stock.
Can’t wait to try and get one, so love it, was hoping to get one right away, but guess all good things come in time.
Have a great Holiday.
Hugs

What a lovely,lovely card. I’m so glad that you are feeling well enough to create such wonderful works of art for the rest of us to admire. Here’s hoping that life treats you well.
Another beauty–a gatefold card that makes me feel doing right away. I wish I had all the materials to put together such a gorgeous card. Becca, God truly and wonderfully blessed the work of your creative hands. Praying for your complete healing.
Becca,
I absolutely love this card. I ordered the window die cut immediately! I hope you will post a youtube tutorial for this beautiful card. Your cards are complex but clear videos make them possible to achieve.
Thanks for your wonderful inspiration.
Charlene
That is the cutest thing I have ever seen.
This is so stunning. Thank you even though you are not feeling the best, your ARE the best. Will try and do something similar from your example. Take care.
Becca your card is so unique and delightful that people cleaned out the supply of the dies at ODBD. LOL Kelly said more are on the way in 3-4 weeks
Oh I LOVE this card!!! Just beautiful and fun!!!! Thanks for sharing!!
Gorgeous card! I I love it!
I love this card, but it looks pretty hard for me. You always bring inspiration to make all of us who love you aspire higher.
This is amazing.
This card is so gorgeous–such a cute idea for a CHRISTmas card!! Thank YOU so much for sharing!!
This is just gorgeous – and very clever. Let me echo some of the sentiments above and tell you I would love to see a tutorial on how this card goes together with the flaps and the folds.
I so love this card!! I can’t wait to get that die for the window, but unfortunately it is unavailable for at least a month, the store you got it at said that they have ordered them but don’t expect spellbinders to have them for about 4 weeks from now, was so disappointed, but such is life, will be glad to get it though, so many possibilities.
Thanks for sharing you wonderful talents
hugs
Donna
