Card with window

Today we are sharing a video tutorial from Kittie Caracciolo showing an inventive way to use a window die cut to create an adorable card!

Hi everyone! I wanted to tell you about a new page/blog I added to my Expressions With Heart blog. There is an option to follow there too. I’m going to be teaching classes now and then and …

Love how this card turned out! The gorgeous Spellbinders window opens up to a Gelatos® background: Full details are on the Down Under Direct Inspiration blog. Thanks for looking!

Hoi meiden, Het is wel heel erg lang geleden dat ik een kaartje heb gemaakt zie ik. Ik wilde even een kaartje maken voor mijn oude overbuurvrouw, die gevallen is en een heup gebroken heeft, dus heb ik mijn mallenverzameling maar weer eens tevoorschijn gehaald en ben weer eens aan de slag gegaan. Het was weer eens leuk om te doen. groetjes, Elly

Today I am launching my newest class and one that has been SUPER popular with my customers. In fact I was staggered at how many booked in! In this class we go from a simple stamping card, through die cut shutters, opening shutters, sliding shutters, a stable card and even a pop up flower shop!

Three more days until Thanksgiving and then it's a headlong dash into Christmas! Everyone is so busy but it's a lovely time of year! This morning I want to share another window card I made this past week. I used my window die(Grand Madison from Poppy Stamps) and cut out this frame. Then I stamped a Heartfelt Creations tree onto a white piece of cardstock and once the ink set, I used a cotton ball with a bit of Ranger Distress Ink on it and lightly colored in around the tree, giving my little…

This is for F4A92 to use black and white winter card showcasing black. This is also for QFTD88 to honor my dear talented friend DawnL. Congratulations on your royal status this week, Dawn! I didn't have to look long into Dawn's gallery to find inspiration. Each and every card is a treasure. I was especially inspired by her window cards allowing me to use my new window die. Here are a couple of Dawn's gorgeous window scenes…

I love Judy's use of die cuts, she is extraordinarily artistic with these. I combined two of the dies that she used in some of her cards to create this scene. Memory Box window and bird cage die cuts, Martha Stewart bird punch, Cuttlebug ef, Lovely as a Tree stamp set by SU and branch die by SU, with some Dazzling Diamonds "snow". www.sleepyinseattle.net

This card uses a dark blue window template for the basic card. The snowy hills were cut from paper embossed with the Cuttlebug Swiss Dots embossing folder. The house and tree were embossed in silver, cut out and glued in place and a silver star brad shines in the sky. After completing the card, I stumbled across a very similar one by Melbourne robyn who I have to thank for giving me the idea to draw in some snowflakes, which gave the card some depth.

I wanted to play with my window die and also with the Martha Stewart Sparkle Texture I bought after seeing Loll Thompson use it for snow. I decided to do two cards - one looking out of the window from inside to outside, and the other the reverse. This one is looking into the house and seeing a Christmas tree with gifts under it. It's for the CAS Party Challenge "Glitz and Glamour" - I'm bringing presents to the party wrapped up in shimmery paper with gold bows. The little presents are…
