Punch windows with the Postage Stamp Punch.  Color the “stamps” and punch them out with the same punch.  The stay on the inside of the card.  Very sweet.

There are lots of layers of stamping.  We had to fussy cut the watch, but it looks great in the Brushed Silver card stock and the Window Sheet clock face.  The dog tag was embossing powder, believe it or not!  No, it’s only faux stitching on the banner, but you’ll want to touch it to prove it to yourself.  A great masculine card.

This card looks complicated, but it’s just a basic 4 1/4″ x 11″ card base with an extra couple of folds.  We added a panel inside for the view out the window. It folds flat and fits in a normal envelope, but pops up for dimension.  The farther apart you put the folds, the deeper the view.

We made our own printed paper by stamping on Creped Filter Paper.  Cut a slit and fold it back to peek at the larger feather underneath.  I adore the Antique Brads!  We highlighted them by ringing the button with a Scalloped Circle Punch.

Feeling Sentimental Card 2-9-13

I tried the Chalkboard technique for these cards.  Instead of black we used Midnight Muse.  I think the sentimental look works well with the chalkboard.  I’m wondering if it would work better on black, but I like it this way too.  The one on the left was done without a Big Shot.

 

Step it up with Window Frame Framelits and texture with the Square Lattice Embossing Folder.

This is not my usual style, but I liked the soft vintage feel of this card.  We Natural Composition Designer Series Paper comes embossed and we just colored it in with soft watercolor pencils.  The punched bird fits right in, the Scalloped Tulle Ribbon adds softness, and the Vintage Faceted button adds a touch of bling.  I used it as a Thank You card, but it certainly can be used as a birthday, wedding, or even sympathy card.
