I especially like windowpane cards during the holidays. They are easy to make and look great. Grab your favorite stamp set and some cardstock from Cutcardstock.com and give one a try!
Supplies needed (those in parentheses are for the elf card):
8 ½” x 11” Pop Tones Cardstock in Grape Jelly, Blue Raspberry, and Hot Fudge (or Red Hot, Sour Apple and Hot Fudge)
8 ½” x 11 Malmero Perle Blanc cardstock
12” x 12” patterned paper of your choice. I used CTMH (Reminisce “Gift Wrap” )
Stamps – I used CTMH Snow Flurries (Raisin Boat’s North Pole Toymakers and Handy Dandy Helpers)
Inks - I used CTMH Twilight, Crystal Blue, Spring Iris and Heavenly Blue (Memento’s Tuxedo Black)
Copic Markers (for elf card only)
12” ribbon
Sparkles
3D Foam Tape
Step One: Cut the 8 ½” x 11 Pop Tones Blue Raspberry cardstock to 10” x 7 “ Fold in half to create a 5” x 7 “ card.
Step Two: Cut the 12x12 patterned paper to 4 ¾” x 6 ¾”. Adhere to card front.
Step Three: Cut the 8 ½” x 11 Pop Tones Grape Jelly cardstock to 4 ½” x 4 ½”. Cut the 8 ½” x 11 Pop Tones Hot Fudge cardstock to 4 ¼” x 4 ¼”. Adhere the Hot Fudge cardstock to the Grape Jelly cardstock.
Step Four: Cut 8 ½” x 11 Malmero Perle cardstock to 4” x 4”. Randomly stamp snowflake images in several coordinating ink colors. I really like the Malmero Perle shimmer for these cards.
Step Five: Cut the 4” x 4” Malmero Perle cardstock into quarters by cutting at 1 7/8” horizontally then vertically.
Step Six: Adhere to 4 ½” x 4 ½” Hot Fudge cardstock, leaving an 1/8” border on all sides of the squares, simulating a window pane.
Step Seven: Wrap ribbon around the three matted squares and tie in a knot in front. Adhere to the front of the card using 3D Foam tape.
Step Eight: Stamp sentiment on a scrap of ½” x 4 ¾” strip of Malmero Perle cardstock. Adhere to a ¾” x 4 ¾” strip of Grape Jelly cardstock. Adhere to the card towards the bottom.
I used the same measurements for my elf card. These are fun to create using a scene, or using the random stamping technique. Have fun with these!
Happy Stamping!
