Easy and Elegant Window Card with Patterned Paper

6/21/2021

This fun fold card is both easy and elegant! It works fabulously for handmade wedding cards, birthday cards, or other occasions. I've used the gorgeous Fine Art Floral patterned paper with the coordinating Golden Garden Designer Specialty Acetate, but you could substitute any patterned paper and plain acetate or window sheeting. This tri-fold card opens both directions for added fun and beauty. It's great for showing off even more of the gorgeous patterned paper! So, on y go! Let's get stamping.

Gorgeous fun fold card ideas! These window cards are perfect for weddings, birthdays, and other occasions. With the Fine Art Floral patterned paper and the coordinating Golden Garden acetate to create a window looking from the front of the card to the patterned paper inside.

Gorgeous Handmade Wedding Card

All of today's samples, including this beautiful handmade wedding card, use the Peaceful Moments and Sweet as a Peach stamp sets. The only stamping on these cards is the sentiment. But, the scrapbooking paper so so pretty that you don't need other stamps or embellishments!

Just a suggestion, instead of sponging off the glue when you put it on a piece you don't mean to, place that piece on one of the plastic envelopes or bags that supplies or embellishments come in and retrim it. The plastic will peel off the gluey paper and you don't get the glue all over your trimmer. I've even used a piece of the plastic grocery store bags, and it works great. TFS your card ideas. Love this fancy fold.

Beautiful card I will have to read it over again as I have MS and it takes me a while to figure it out. Thank you for sharing your experience with us.
