Today I’m sharing a window card I made with the All is Bright Designer Series Paper, Merry Christmas to All bundle, Layering Circles Framelits Dies, and Snowflakes & Stars Wire Elements. The key to this card is to cut through both layers of paper at the same time before you adhere them together. That way you can hang the snowflake with copper thread and hide where the thread is adhered to the card.

Here’s what I made:

Here’s what I did:

Cut and scored with my Stampin’ Trimmer:

Crumb Cake card stock (CS) cut to 4-1/4″ x 11″, then scored in half at 5-1/2″
All Is Bright Designer Series Paper (DSP) cut to 4″ x 5-1/4″

Stamped with the Merry Christmas to All stamp set:

inside sentiment in Soft Suede ink onto the inside of the card base

Die cut using the Merry Christmas Thinlits:

outside sentiment from a scrap of Copper Foil Sheet

Die cut using the Layering Circles Framelits:

circle from the DSP layer and the front of the card base
NOTE: I laid the card base on the Big Shot, positioned the DSP layer on the front, then cut through both layers. DO NOT adhere the DSP layer before cutting. The Magnetic Platform helps hold the die in place which keeps the paper in place.

Assembled the card:

burnished the fold in the card base with a Bone Folder
strung a piece of Copper Metallic Thread through a wire snowflake, positioned the snowflake so it would hang in the die cut hole, then adhered the thread to the front of the card base using Tear & Tape
DSP layer glued onto the front of the card base, lining up the die cut holes
die cut sentiment glued onto the DSP layer
If you’d like, you can glue a piece of Whisper White CS onto the inside of the card base. I decided to write directly onto the Crumb Cake card base.
