You Whoooo with Cheery Lynn Designs!

Monday greetings everyone, it's my day to host the blog over at Cheery Lynn Designs today!

I've got a fun card to share with you that I affectionately refer to as my "peek-a-boo" window card.  I used my French Flair shaped stacker dies to create the window opening in my card.

"You Whoooo!" (A2 size card)

 

The owl, horizon stacker and inked cheesecloth are attached to the inside of the card.

 

In case you have not had a chance to use our Stackers yet, I thought I would show a few steps on how I created my window and frames here for my card.

This is my plain white card stock base. (My next card will have another background layer or two of paper stitched down before this step.)

1. I used my centering ruler to find the center point and marked the center for my window location.
2. Using a pencil, I traced around my middle opening so I could line up the die and tape it down.
3. Tape the die on the inside to your card base, open the card flat, then run through your die cutting machine.
4. You now have a window opening on the front of your card.

This step creates the top layer of my frame for my window.  It is layered on top of the scalloped border. Carefully arrange the dies so equal distance is visible in between your dies.  I placed my tape on the outer and inner sections.

This is how the frame pops out.

This is how I created the scalloped frame, using the same size Silver Stacker in my center.  These frames fit exactly to the window that I cut and layered beautifully. I did ink the inside of my window orange to coordinate with my frame.

 

I also inked my cut frame pieces, then adhered them together using foam dots for dimension. This allowed me to attach my branches in between the two layers of my frame.
