Hi, Stamper. This month, the Pals have been busy creating cozy, frosty, whimsical card ideas and paper crafts for our Winter Wonderland theme — using our favorite Stampin’ Up! goodies. I have created an Open Bay Window card to share with you for this blog hop. Each project brings a different twist, and that’s what makes the hop feel like a stroll through a creative winter village. If you’re looking for inspiration (or maybe a reason to stay inside with your craft supplies), this hop is for you!

My Open Bay Window card begins with a Pool Party card base and is accented with the North Pole Delivery Designer Series Paper from Stampin’ Up. I reached for the Pool Party pattern with white dots because it reminds me of softly falling snow, which works beautifully with winter cardmaking.

The North Pole Delivery Designer Series Paper is designed to coordinate with the Jolly Delivery stamp set and dies, but I decided to feature the ephemera pieces included in the paper pack to decorate my Open Bay Window card. The printed elements match beautifully and made the finishing details quick and easy. This is a great option if you want professional results without a lot of extra stamping.

This Open Bay Window card folds flat for easy mailing but opens up beautifully to display during the holidays. It’s a fun and versatile design that lets you send a special handmade card while also creating a festive decoration that can be enjoyed long after it arrives.

If you’d like to make one of these cards yourself, you can watch my step-by-step YouTube video below. All the supplies I used are listed with photos and links to my online Stampin’ Up! store so you can easily shop for everything you need to recreate this Open Bay Window card.
