Window Sheet Card

I recently saw a neat card made by an Australian demonstrator, Michele Miller, who used a Window Sheet for the front of her card. I had to try it:

This is so pretty from the front, but wait:

Can you see the layers?

I started with a piece of Lovely Lipstick (on the retiring list 😲) that is 4-1/14" x 6-1/2", and scored at 5-1/2", so there is a 1" flap at the top. To the back side of this flap, I attached a 4-1/4" x 5-1/2" piece of Window Sheet.

I then took another piece of Lovely Lipstick, 4-1/4" x 2", scored it down the middle and folded it. With the score line at the bottom, I added flowers (cut from the Sending Flowers die) in between, then adhered it to the Window Sheet with Tear & Tape adhesive.

I just needed my greeting (from Butterfly Wishes) on the front.

Then for the inside:

I cut a piece of Designer Series Paper (Dressed to Impress) at 4" x 5-3/4" and scored it at 1/2". This was attached to the Whisper White cardstock and then adhered to the inside of the card.

So it looks like there are 3 layers:

I just tied a bow of Polka Dot Tulle ribbon around the top and my card was done! I love the 3-D effect!

Are you ready for the new Annual Catalog? Ordering starts on June 3rd, and there is a similar stamp to the Sending Flowers dies, Field of Flowers, with the Confetti Flowers punch. I expect I'll be making more Window Sheet cards. How about you?

Another Two-Fer

Yesterday I showed two cards using the same layout. Today I have another set:

The card on the left was pretty much "stolen" from Pinterest. I used it at my August Card Club to show off the beauty of the foil sheets and a simple layout. And when I had an extra card packet at the end of class, I decided to make a similar card using other stamps.

Minimal supplies here: A Thick Whisper White card base, with a layer of Blueberry Bushel. A layer of Whisper White with four squares cut from the Noble Peacock DSP using Layering Squares dies. And a stamp, stamped in Blueberry Bushel, cut out and adhered with Dimensionals.

I love this sentiment from Butterfly Wishes, and the butterflies are gorgeous too. I showed my stampers how to set up the Stamparatus with a template so that you can punch the butterflies and then stamp them at the same time.

And Wink of Stella was a huge hit - check out that sparkle!

For this card I pulled out Vibrant Vases, stamping and punching the vase and cutting the flowers, both stamped with Blueberry Bushel ink. A sentiment from Varied Vases adds my thoughts, and I blinged it up with some Noble Peacock Rhinestones.

Two cards with one layout - easy peasy, and so pretty!

A Seaside Butterfly

Here's a little sneak peek of some upcoming pretties:

Nearly everything on this card is new in the soon-to-be released Annual Catalog. And I'm lovin' this new In Color!

Seaside Spray is a lovely shade of blue-gray, with almost a hint of lavender. And I found that it pairs beautifully with Night of Navy!

This card features a new stamp set: Butterfly Wishes. It coordinates with the current Butterfly Duet punch, introduced in the Occasions Catalog. I'm so happy this is carrying over!

I stamped the side-facing butterfly twice, using Seaside Spray ink. It's a DistINKtive stamp, so it has natural variations of color when you just use one ink. After stamping, I used my Paper Snips to cut a layer, scoring it near the body of the butterfly and glueing the two pieces together for some added dimension.

Isn't this a nice sentiment?

The branch was also stamped in Seaside Spray, and was cut with the new Stitched Nested Labels dies. I sponged the edges, then mounted it with Dimensionals.

The background designer paper is the new In Color 6" x 6" DSP; there are four new patterns for each of the five new In Colors. I tore the edge and sponged it prior to mounting on Whisper White.
