Looking Out The Window.


Good morning friends, followers and callers by..


Sharing my DT card for Poppystamps blog
This card squishes down FLAT  for posting! ( Concertina sides)


Few years since I made this card design, you can make it any size! mine is finished 51/2" x 51/2" . 

This is how to create the font..





You will need three  card pieces.. 1@ 51/2" x 51/2"back....   2. @ 71/2"x 71/2"....These are your card fronts.. Score each end @ 1/2" & 1".. then concertina fold.
I am using Poppystamps Large Madison window set, I wanted a scene looking out the window, you can use any shape you like.
Find the centre and die cut both card fronts..


Apply strong tape onto both card fronts as shown.. along the 1/2" score line..( these two you stick together on top of each other)

I have adhered acetate to wrong side, touch smaller than 51/2"x 51/2" ..then adhered the window back in place...

Decorate  the inside and outside as you wish..I have used my Favourite Poppystamps "small Luxe Poinsettias" with "Verona Flourish" and this new Westbridge Christmas Tree.. tiny flowers on the tree are from the window set. 
Pinflair Ice Diamond.for the snow.

Thank you for calling by my blog.. I wish you all  ..A Merry Christmas  and  Happy New Year Pam x

Embossed & Die Cut Gatefold card.


Good afternoon friends, followers and  callers by..

We have had a gloomy day today, so dark think the fog will be back later..
Sorry photos are not very good on this card, I have had to take them with the card laying down, left one stood up.


Tattered Lace Gate Fold Amore embossing folder & Amore Edge Border Die..
Had these a few weeks from C/C.. their is four sets altogether.


You need A4 card for the length by 6" depth. after you use your edge die is reduces the length.
Placed ribbon between these layers..
I put this around a gate fold card and used a corner rounder We-R Memory keepers.
Embossing is not as deep as normal folders, as you put your folded scored card inside this folder.




Sentiment by Justrite "Friendship Vintage Labels Seven.
Stamped onto Crea-nest-lies XXL stitched ovals.
Beautiful floral frame Memory Box.. Fairy Flower Frame.
Added Riviera Corners from my bit box..



few peach pearls.





Will be trying more of these gatefold embossing and cutting dies soon. (hope).
