I needed a card to put in Master J's castle mailbox this week and as I remembered how pretty it looked in the snow, strung with colorful lights, I thought about the Winter Castle shadow box file from Lori Whitlock just waiting to be cut on my Explore.
A new project deserves a new cutting blade and a new mat, don't you think? Even so, I had to move the dial to Fabric + to get a clean cut with this heavyweight textured paper. I added the 'Happy New Year' sentiment from the Phrases cart, and the banner comes from 'Bits and Pieces.' I discovered that since Fabric+ cuts twice, it also writes twice and my 2017 text came out very clearly. (Note to self - remember this!)
Here's a side shot to show the dimension. I used clear Wink of Stella to add sparkle to the castle, hills and snowflakes and is ALMOST as pretty as the real thing in Master J's back yard!
