Tonight I will be participating in a card swap and here is my card. The technique is called "The Window Card". It's very easy to do too! I made one earlier last month. You can see it here. There you will also find the instructions for it. I'm just going to post here the materials I used to make this one.
The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Crushed Curry. The inside is an 8" x 5-1/4" piece of Whisper White card stock.
I had used the "Stitched Rectangles" dies to make the openings on the card.
For the front I used a piece of Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the "Share What You Love" 12' x 12" paper pack.
I had followed the instructions I had written up and did find that I should have cut the DSP 5-1/8" x 3-7/8" instead of 5" x 3-7/8". There was too much space between the top and bottom of the card. The DSP needed to be a little longer.
The words I used are from the "Dandelion Wishes" set. I stamped them using black Memento ink. I did shut the card and traced around the opening so I could see where I needed to stamp. I drew lightly and erased using a kneadable eraser (I highly recommend them, they remove only the graphite and don't ruin the paper). I used the Stamparatus to do all of my stamping. I was making 10 cards so it was just easier to set it up to mass produce like that. If you think 10 cards is mass producing! LOL
I used Mango Melody to stamp the bubble images from the "Beauty Abounds" set.
I die cut a butterfly from the "Butterfly Beauty" thinlits dies. It's a big die and I just used one of the butterflies and trimmed the wing a bit. The butterfly was cut from Mint Macaron card stock. I glued it in place on the thicker part of the bottom wings.
This was a pretty simple card to make and I would think that if I were making just one card it wouldn't take very long. What I didn't like doing, when making this many was the die cutting of the rectangles. But I survived it!! LOL
Thank you SO much for stopping by today,
Wanda
