Hello friends! Today I’m sharing a fun card featuring my Everyday City Holiday collection, this time using the rectangular windows and the new curtain details. I paired the building with a bold, colorful background for a playful scene.

CARD DETAILS

I die-cut two building bases and glued them together to create a sturdier piece. The die leaves subtle impressions for window placement, which makes assembly easy.

For the windows, I used the rectangular dies and cut multiple at once by taping the dies together. Behind the windows, you can use cardstock or vellum, depending on the look you want – I went with a soft color to mimic sky reflection.

The new curtains add a lot of character. You can mix and match styles or keep them uniform. I also added the tiny curtain ties for extra detail.

To keep the design balanced, I avoided adding too many elements to each window. If I used curtains, I skipped awnings or flower boxes to prevent the design from feeling too busy.

Even though the base has arched window guides, the rectangular windows work perfectly – align them at the bottom, and the top covers the arch.

For the door and large window, I layered die cuts to add dimension and placed a foiled sentiment inside the window to make it feel like a little storefront.

For the background, I created a colorful sky using a wavy die and several shades of teal cardstock, then added a simple shoreline using one of the dies from the original set.

I finished the card by popping the house up with foam adhesive and adding a leafy branch with small flowers for extra detail.

Thanks for stopping by today. I hope this inspires you to experiment with different window styles and backgrounds.
