Happy Friday, everyone, hope you're all well. This will be my last post until Sunday so I'll give best wishes now for a lovely New Year's Eve.
Supplies Used:
Kraft card stock
DCWV Adhesive Mat Stack card for frame
Daisy D's orange plaid paper
Rusty Pickle patterned paper
Image: Gecko Galz digital image from Winter Windows ATC Set
Karen Foster Alpha Winks (Joy)
TH Idealogy Christmas Noel Sticker Book sticker (Spirit of Christmas)
Spellbinders A2 Frame die
Glass flatback star from my stash
Altenew star enamel dots
Cutplorations Noel die
Brown chalk ink and marker for edge distressing
I chose this Gecko Galz Facebook challenge sketch for my layout design.
I know the orange plaid is uncoventional for Christmas, but I think it complements the fireplace glow from that amazing image. The glass star catching the light is like the fire, and the reds in the image are tomato-y and go well with the oranges. I like it now a lot, but it took me a minute. Funny what our brains get used to seeing (and not seeing 😁😉). I also like that it's got a masculine, homespun vibe because I always need a few to send to the single guys on our Christmas list.
Inside, a scrap of gold parchment I used a decorative corner punch on and stamped a Sweet n Sassy sentiment with Versafine Clair ink.
The back, with more of the plaid and a siggie on a corner-punched scrap.
And one last look. This was fun getting a little embellishment-lumpy on a card, but I'm already worrying about mailing it, lol. Which is why most of my cards are flat. 😎
Thanks for visiting!

Lovely card Aimeslee. I like the warmth of the image and color palette. Thank you for entering the Anything Goes Challenge at Lil Patch of Crafty Friends and Happy New Year to you.
What a warm and cozy scene, a wonderful Christmas card! Thanks for sharing with us at Krafty Chicks.
Personally, I like the orange! It warms it up nicely-thanks for joining us at Die Cut Divas!
The image certainly brings a feeling of home and hearth to the card. It's a beauty. So glad you joined us at Die Cut Divas.
That is such a great vintage picture and the orange is a great complement to the fire burning in the background! Thanks for sharing with us at HLS Christmas :)
I love the colors and the warm and inviting image, Aimeslee. That image really caught my eye, and in many ways is more holiday-ish (is that a word?) than all the red and green traditional views. This is lovely. I hope you had a wonderful holiday. hugs-Erika
Beautiful colours and as you say warm Aimeslee, love the frame emphasising the fire. A really lovely card in and out :)
Happy New Year

I always get mixed up on whether I commented on a card or not. Probably because I always comment on Splitcoast.
Wonderful card!
Thanks for playing at the ABC Christmas Challenge!
