Good Morning. It's time for a window card. I just love window cards as they are so unique. You can't get them in the stores and people just love getting them so I think it is about time that you mastered them. They are so easy, just follow a few basic steps and you are good to go.
This first video will give you the basics of how to design your card. You need to always work with a frame, so choose a cart that has a few frames and pick one that you like. I used Elegant Edges for this one. After you have the base of your card completed you can pick ANY artwork that you want as long as you have that cartridge. Remember while watching the video do the steps and if you feel you don't understand something you can rewind or leave me a question and I will reply as soon as I can or you can write me at shesasassylady@gmail.com.
This second video shows how you put the window card together. You will love how fast and easy it is to make. Normally I do two cards of the same thing but since this had a the number 3 in it signifying his age I only did one. My paper was Glitz from Sandy at the Softside of Sandi and the rest was from my scraps.
Isn't this just too cute for a little 3 year old little boy that has a new puppy of his own?
Here is a little close up. I sure hope you enjoyed today's post and give window cards a try. I Challenge you to make a card this week ANY card and link it up so all can see what your wonderful design!

ReplyDeleteI love this card. It's so cute! I love your Gypsy tutorials. I really haven't used my Gypsy and I've had it for a year now. (I think it's because I'm afraid to link my cartridges permanently to it.) I will give this a try. Thanks so much!
