Wonderful Windows Cards with Vanessa and Tina

Hello to you! Vanessa here with a card using the Wonderful Windows Dies.



I trimmed a panel of cream cardstock slightly smaller than my card base and adhered it. Now I die-cut all the elements from various colors of cardstock, assembled the window and the flowers, added little accents to the grass (Picket Fence Border dies) with a marker, and adhered the pieces to the card.



Then I stamped the bike (Paris Afternoon), colored it with Copics, die-cut it with the matching die and adhered it.

I hope you are all having a lovely weekend! See you next week!

Hello crafty friends, it’s Tina with a sweet Easter card featuring the Wonderful Windows dies. These dies are so versatile as you will see in this project. Today, I am also mixing and matching several stamps, even one from a previous Christmas release. Always fun when you can stretch the use of your stash!



Let’s start by cutting the windows and curtains from a sheet of white cardstock. I used the large more solid window and adjusted the size to fit my design by removing the bottom part of the glass. I repeated this step and colored the window frames and curtains in shades of purple with Copics. I also cut two small white strips as windowsills. Two small panels were inked with a cloud stencil and Distress Oxide Picked Raspberry, they will go behind the window frames to create the ‘outside look’.

To decorate the windowsills, I cut two flower boxes using the die and adjusted them to the size I needed. You just cut the box once as is and pop the paper shape back into the die, shifting it to the correct measurement and die cut again.

Next, I selected several images to create the Easter scene, the cute little chicks and eggs (Chickie Baby), the sofa and cushions (Cozy Christmas) and finally the small flowers (Chubby Bunny). All the images were colored with Copics using Spring tones.

The combined sentiment comes from the Clucky Chickens set and was stamped onto a small white strip with Versafine Onyx Black ink. Can’t say enough good things about this ink! Love the dark crisp results you get each time!



To assemble the card, I started by creating the windows, gluing all the elements in place (curtains on the inside of the frame, then the cloud panel and lastly the windowsill with flower box).

For my background, I selected a beautiful flower design from the Spring Fever pack which looks like a gorgeous wallpaper. A dark purple strip was added as a baseboard, combined with a pink floor!

Now, I could adhere all the other elements in my scene, creating dimension where needed with foam tape. Finally, I glued the sentiment strip directly to the floor portion of the card. There was already so much color and cute images that I didn’t add any embellishments.

Wishing you lots of crafty fun making your own scene with these beautiful window dies! Thank you for joining me and happy crafting!

Wonderful Windows Cards with Bobbi and Cathy

Hi friends! Bobbi here with the new Wonderful Windows dies by Sunny Studio Stamps. There is nothing I want more right now than a view out my window filled with flowers and singing birds! Unfortunately, all I see in Wisconsin today is barren trees and a snow-covered landscape. Spring is coming soon and this card makes me excited for the upcoming season. I’m using the Wonderful Windows Dies along with the Little Birdie stamps and dies for this card.

To make this 5″ X 7″ card, I cut my windows from white cardstock (Neenah 80lb Solar White) and added a little aging to the largest frame using Copics in a warm gray, W3, W1, W0.  I also cut the window frame from black cardstock and the curtains from white. This combination reminds me of the windows you’d see on older townhouses in New York City.  

Next, I adhered a yellow cardstock behind the black frames and shadowed the frames, rails, stiles, and muntins using a darker yellow with Copics Y28 and Y26. The curtain folds were shadowed with W4, W3, W1 to make the pleated layers stand out a bit more. I added 1/8″ strips of metallic gold cardstock to the tops of both frames. Once assembled, I added some white lines to the glass panes to resemble glare on the glass using my white Gelly Roll pen.

To make the 5″ X 7″ card background, I used a brick stencil and Distress Oxide Ink in Lost Shadow to create the light bricks on my card base’s front panel. I used a soft touch of Black Soot around the corners’ edges of the card for a scene shadow. Next, I added black window boxes and filled them with flowers and leaves from the die set. I added so many that you can’t see the black boxes! I kept the flowers simple in white and red with the green leaves. I wanted the boxes to flow over with flowers and foliage so I used my Copic marker in YG67 to create the trailing greenery and yellow pearl pen to add tiny yellow blossoms.

Lastly, I added two blue birds from the Little Birdie set. I colored them in BG72, BG11, B02, R11, and E50. I nestled one in the flower box and one in front of the window. I think the birds add just the right touch to finish this window scene!

Hey friends! Cathy here today and I’m excited to share a Parisian Café inspired card featuring the Wonderful Windows Dies. There are so many ways to use these windows on your projects and I couldn’t wait to share this one!

 
I started this A2 size card with the brick of the store front. I cut a piece of ivory cardstock 4 1/4" x 5 1/2". I inked a second piece of the ivory cardstock with Tattered Rose Distress ink and I die-cut this piece numerous times using a planter box die from the Sweet Treat House Add-on Dies. I adhered these pieces to the 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" cardstock piece starting at the bottom and working my way up. I then adhered the panel to an A2 card front.

 
Next, I die-cut the large window from the Wonderful Windows Dies from black cardstock and adhered a 1 3/4" x 3” piece of acetate to the back of the window. I then cut a piece of patterned paper from the Subtle Grey Tones Paper 1 1/2" x 2 3/4” for the inside of the café.

I stamped a chair, table, coffee mugs and a baguette from the Paris Afternoon Stamps and a table from the Cozy Christmas Stamps (I used this for the shelf) on Neenah Classic Crest 80lb solar white cardstock, colored them with Copics and fussy cut them out. I then adhered them to the patterned paper making sure they would show through the windowpane. I applied adhesive to the back of the window frame and adhered it over the paper piece.

 

Next, I adhered the window to the card front, centered and 1/2" from the bottom of the card. I inked a piece of white cardstock with Speckled Egg Distress ink and die-cut the shutters. I die-cut the outer portion of the shutters twice and layered them for extra dimension. I inked a piece of white cardstock with Tea Dye Distress ink for the planter box and Peeled Paint Distress ink for the leaves.

 
For the awning, I cut a piece of white cardstock 2 1/2" x 4” and die-cut black and white cardstock with the ribbon die from the Ribbon & Lace Border Dies. Starting on one edge of the cardstock, I adhered the ribbon strips alternating in color.

 
I then placed the bag topper die from the Sweet Treat House Add-on Dies cutting face down on the ribbon piece (evenly positioned on the side black ribbon strips), taped it in place and die-cut the piece. I folded along the score line at the top, applied adhesive to just the top edge and adhered it 1/2" from the top of the card. Adhering just the top edge allows the awning to stick up a bit from the card front but will still push down flat to fit in an envelope.

 
To finish, I stamped the café from the City Streets Stamps, colored the café sign and fussy cut it out. I die-cut 2 hinges from the Wonderful Windows Dies from black cardstock to hang the sign at the top of the window. I inked a piece of white cardstock with Saltwater Taffy Distress ink and die-cut it using the ribbon die from the Ribbon & Lace Border Dies. I then heat embossed a sentiment on it from the City Streets Stamps and adhered it across the awning.

 

I hope you enjoyed my café card and thanks for stopping by today! For more inspiration, please visit my blog www.inkredibleadventures.com and you can also find me on Instagram as @cathy.chapdelaine.
