Welcoming Window Meets Grace's Garden

Having made at least one card with the Welcoming Window Bundle, I wanted to create another using other pieces of the bundle.  I ended up pairing it with the dies from Grace's Garden and came up with this darling, detailed card, which we will be doing this Saturday at our Monthly Club Meeting.

Measurements:  

  • Balmy Blue: 1/2 sheet cut LENGTHWISE, scrap
  • Misty Moonlight: 4" x 5 1/4"
  • Basic White:3 3/4" x 5", 2" x 4 1/4" (gate), 2 3/4" x 8 1/2" strip
  • Granny Apple Green: scrap
To Make This Card:

  • Run Basic White piece through Pinewood Planks EF. Attach to folded Balmy Blue with Misty Moonlight layer card.
  • Stamp 2 "shutters" in stamped off Balmy Blue. Stamp "window", "pitcher" and 3 -"tall pots"  in Misty Moonlight. Stamp "kitty" in Basic Gray. Cut out with corresponding dies.
  • Die cut 4 "round bush" blanks. Set up "template" on Stamparatus base. Place "blanks" into "template" and stamp "greenery" in Granny Apple Green.  Then, flip Stamparatus plate and stamp flowers in colors shown.
  • Cut 2 "vines" from Granny Apple Green cardstock.
  • Cut 2 "arbors" from Basic White.  Trim off "arch", bottom edge and sides, if necessary.
  • Press "window sill" into Balmy Blue ink.  Place of scrap of Balmy Blue and cut out.
  • Now, it's time to build your "scene"! I taped the "shutters" to the the window with Scotch Tape. Adhere to the card, near the top.  Add "window sill".
  • Center 1 "tall pot" under "window", add 1 pot on either side.  Attach flowers to pots.  Attach green vines as shown. Trim & add "fence" over pots.
  • Finish by attaching "pitcher" to "window sill" with Dimensional, as well as "flowers" and kitty to the "window sill" as well.
