Beautiful Window Card using new Horizons Designer Series Paper

 

I learned how to make this lovely card from Ronda Wade. You can see her demonstration on YouTube. 

The New Horizon Paper is so easy to work with and the designs just seem to bring out the creativity in me. I love working with this paper.

THIS PAPER WILL RETIRE AT THE END OF JUNE - GET YOURS TODAY!

The card base is 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" of Evening Evergreen cardstock.

The Window is created with a piece of Evening Evergreen cardstock that is 8 1/2" x 4 1/4". Score this piece at 1/2", 1", 1 1/2", 2" , 6 1/2", 7", 7 1/2", 8".

The patterned Paper for the card base is 5 1/4" x 5"

The patterned Paper for the Window is 4" x 4 1/4"

These are two separate patterns but they blend so beautifully.

Attach the patterned paper to the card base and stamp the flower from the Nature's Harvest Stamp set in Memento Black ink. Color the flower with Daffodil Delight - you can use a Blender Pen and pick up the ink from your stamp pad or you can use a Stampin' Write marker or a Stampin' Blends.

Attach the Patterned Paper for the window to the center of the card and cut out a frame. I used the Retired layering Squares dies to make my window. If you don't have a die that works, use your Stampin' Trimmer to trim out a window that is 3/4 from each edge.

Attach a piece of acetate from our Window Sheets (142314) that is 4" x 4" and attach it to the back. 

Fold the piece for the window card along the score lines and fold each side under to create a square tube that will help the window stand up from the card base. Use Tear & Tape adhesive (154031) to fasten the tubes against the back of the window and to attach the tubes to the card base.  

Caution! Be sure the tubes are positioned straight up and down so the card will fold flat.

Finish the card by adding the die cut grass shape (cut from Evening Evergreen) and the stamped flowers colored in Daffodil Delight. 

I used the tag from Harvest Dies and a scrap of the patterned paper to create the sentiment.

BE SURE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF BUNDLE PRICING ON THIS SET ($53). THIS PRICE EXPIRES ON 5/3

The window card will fold flat for mailing.
