Hi folks – it’s Friday and a bit of a heart-wrenching day in the aftermath of killings in Afghanistan. I want to say AAARGH! as Snoopy does in the daily funnies. Power. Control. Over others. It’s just not right… Prayers of peace & comfort to all those affected in this terrible tragedy.
What’s our card for today? A Cathedral window card, which I haven’t made before this… and it was pretty easy and I like the end result.
The colors in this are pretty soft: Mint Macaron and Sahara Sand with a bit of White. Here’s what I did…
- Die cut a circle approximately 1 1/2″. I used the Circle Dies for this.
- Cut a square, approximately 1″. I used my paper trimmer.
- Put the square inside the circle and fold over the edges of the circle. Remove the square. And that’s it to make the cathedral window! But here’s a tip or two…
- Placing the square to align with the inside image is important. If you want the image straight (as I did with this one), using your grid paper to make certain it’s ‘square’ really works!
- Using DSP that is double sided and has small images is even better. Here I used the Peaceful Prints DSP which is a FREE product with a $50 order as part of Sale-a-bration. More on that later in the post 🙂
I placed but did not adhere the cathedral window pieces to determine where to stamp the sentiment. I stamped the sentiment from Perfectly Plaid stamp set in VersaMark ink, them embossed with white embossing powder & heat set it with my heat tool. Once that was cool & not tacky I then ran the Mint Macaron panel through the Bark 3D Embossing Folder. Boy am I glad I have this EF – I use it a LOT. The cathedral windows were adhered with liquid glue, then the Mint Macaron panel was adhered to a Basic White piece with liquid glue. I then punched the sides to create a place for the Linen Thread & Simply Elegant Trim in Silver to remain in place. These were wrapped around the two panels and tied in a bow. This entire panel was added to the Sahara Sand Card base with dimensionals. To complete the front I added three Opal Rounds.
For the inside I stamped the sentiment in Sahara Sand ink using another stamp in the Perfectly Plaid stamp set. use my Stamparatus a lot too as I can re-stamp when necessary and align perfectly straight. I added more of the same Peaceful Prints DSP to the bottom of the Basic White panel and adhered it to the inside of the card. DONE!
The envelope got more of the same Peaceful Prints DSP to the envelope flap & trimmed to fit. For the front I stamped the tree from the Perfectly Plaid stamp set in Mint Macaron ink. Another Christmas card for the pile :O)
