Stamping Symphony Blog Hop - Window card

 

Hi Everyone,

Can you believe that it is December? Christmas is literally around the corner. The theme for this month's Blog Hop is a Window Card. I had to look that up on Pinterest. I found a video by Jackie Bolhuis that demonstrated this card and I fell in love with this technique.

I didn't want to make another Christmas card so I pulled out one of the stamp sets that I bought during the Online Extravaganza last month. I have been waiting to play with the Blossoms in Bloom stamp set and brighten a dreary day. There are so many colour combinations that work with this stamp set. I choose Highland Heather, Gorgeous Grape and Granny Apple Green. I love this combination.

Measurements:

• Highland Heather cardstock - 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4
• Whisper White cardstock - 8 x 5 scored at 4
• scrap of Whisper White cardstock for the window piece and sentiment

Instructions:

1. Take the Highland Heather cardstock and die cut a square out of the front of the card - centering it on the sides and closer to the top of the card front.
   
   
   
2. Cut out of the scrap Whisper White cardstock the frame for the window using the same square and a slightly bigger square as shown.
   
3. Adhere the white frame to the window on the Highland Heather card front.
   
4. Stamp the sentiment on a Whisper White cardstock strip using Gorgeous Grape ink and adhere it to the card front using Dimensionals.
5. Fold the 8 x 5 piece of Whisper White cardstock in half. Stamp the front of this piece using the Blossoms in Bloom large stamp and Highland Heather ink for the blossoms, Gorgeous Grape ink for the inside of the blossoms and Granny Apple Green ink for the leaves. Stamp the inside using the same inks and a smaller blossom and leaves.
   
   

   
6. Adhere the inside piece to the back inside piece of the Highland Heather card.
7. Using White Crinkled Seam Binding wrap it around the card and tie a bow as shown.
