Stampin' Up! Window Cards

Hello, thank you for joining me today.  I have something a little different to share with you today!
Have you made a Window card?  This is a window card and I love creating them...
Three layers of cardstock joined at the sides and bowed to create a three layer effect...

I ran a class and these are the cards the girls created.  The photos are not crash hot because I had to use a flash so you can see the detail in the window...

This is literally a Window card - peek through the window to see a lady dancing in front of a seat of cushions...

The background layer.. Below we used "Sitting Here" but "Mediterranean Moments" is another excellent choice

The second layer (which is the middle layer)  is adorned with the image of the lady from the "Beautiful You" set, and lace to dress the window ...

This card was created by one of my beautiful ladies - June for her sister Val.  It uses a combination of Stampin' Up! products and other products (silver stickers) to create a stunning 80th Birthday card.

The cards are created from varying sized rectangles, taped at the edges - we used the dimensional strips, to give more depth.



Stampin' Up! Sitting Here (stamping, colouring, masking & sponging)

Welcome to A Crafty Cat,

Sitting here is a peaceful stamp set released by Stampin' Up! that has become a favourite in the technique of masking.  The A Crafty Cat team created these in class using the combined techniques of stamping, colouring, masking and sponging...

They are amazing creations and it was the team's first time at creating with the combination of techniques!

Thinking of a Tabby Cat...

Welcome to A Crafty Cat,

Sitting Here by Stampin' Up! is a great stamp set to learn masking, water colouring and picture creation.  The seat can be a swing seat or chair and the surrounds can be anything you dream of...

I created these examples for class...
