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.

Welcoming Window with Curtains

I am always drawn to detailed stamp sets, like windows, doors, stairs, etc.  So, I just HAD to get this bundle even if it was just for me! I finally got to play with it today!  So much fun, and so many possibilities.  It is my  version of a card I saw online.  Love the use of the Messages dies for the sentiment labels!!

Measurements:  

• Basic White: 1/2 sheet, 3 3/4" x 5", 1 3/4" x 2 1/2" scraps
• Crumb Cake: 4" x 5 1/4", 2"
• Early Espresso: scraps
• Garden Green: scrap
• Plaid Tidings DSP (ret): scrap

To Make This Card

• Run Basic White piece through Brick & Mortar 3D Embossing Folder.  Layer onto Crumb Cake piece, and then onto folded Basic White card.
• Die cut "Window Frame" and "Shutters" from Crumb Cake.  Cut "Window Sill" and "Hinges" from Early Espresso.  Cut bottom of "curtain" with border die from the Ornate Borders Dies.
• Adhere the "curtain" behind the "window frame".  Add solid piece of white to the back and trim. Tape this to the "Window Sill" with scotch or washi tape.  
• Decide window placement, by starting with Left "Shutter", then "window", then final "Shutter". 
• Stamp "greenery #1" in Garden Green onto scrap of White.  Place this piece on the Stamparatus and line up "flowers".  Ink up with Poppy Parade ink, and stamp into holes left for the flowers!  Color "centers" with Dk. Mango Melody Blend. Cut out with Corresponding die. Attach to "Window Sill with Dimensionals".  
• Cut Garden Green "tag" from Messages dies. Stamp sentiment onto scrap of White in Poppy Parade ink. Center under "tag" from Message dies, and cut.  Attach Green piece flat onto card, and pop the White layer to label with Dimensionals.
