A blog devoted to the cards I make in my tiny upstairs space. When my sister stays there, she calls it an "artist's garret". I'm not an artist, but am an enthusiastic cardmaker - hence the title "Cardmaker's Garret".

Masculine Christmas Thank You Card

I needed to make a thank you card for my Dad for his Christmas gift and I was inspired by three challenges:

SCS CAS challenge "Chilled Thanks".
SCS Technique Lovers challenge "Everything Old is New Again: Black and White".
Christmas Cards All Year Round challenge "A Holiday Thank You".

Here's my card:


I used black and white shimmer cs. I die cut the sentiment and the sloped house and trees circle die out of my top layer of white, added it to a black cardbase, and die cut some tiny snowflakes out of the scrap of white and glued them on.







Supplies:
Paper - white shimmer and black shimmer cs
Size - A2
Accessories - Memory Box Countryside Circle die, Cheery Lynn small snowflake dies, Dee's Distinctively Thank You die
