Window Sheets!

These are a fun and tricky product to use! I say FUN, because the possiblities are endless! Just look at these great samples! Plus, I say TRICKY because you are to be creative and use your imagination on how you are going to attach them to your cards! Since the Window Sheets are clear, you don't want to use SNAIL, glue dots, etc. to attach the Window sheet to the layered piece on the front of your card/project! Use products like brads, ribbons, jumbo eyelets, etc. to attach!

I used 5/16" Jumbo Brads to attach this Window Sheet! I also used White Staz On to stamp My Dear Kind & Wonderful Friend on the front of this! The white flowers were already there - that's the best part of these Window Sheets - some of the work is already done for you!!
I also used felt flowers from Flower Fushion & the Trio Flower Punch!

I used a Corduroy Button to attach this one to the Window Sheet! With glue dots hidden under the flower from The Pretties Kit!

I know some of these items are since retired, but it will give you an idea of how to use these other great, fabulous products! Check out page 169 in the new 09-10 Idea Book & Catalog for the printed Window Sheets! They even come in colors! Order Now!

Have fun making your fabulous creations! Enjoy! Happy Stampin'!

Christmas in July!

I love this time of year! Summer - those lazy days of summer! I was just in a swap with other demos that involved new sets, new In Colors, new accessories, etc. from the new Idea Book & Catalog!

This is what I created! I used: The More the Merrier Hostess set & Christmas Punch, Night of Navy c/s & ink, Soft Suede c/s, Kraft c/s, Ticket Corner Punch and Modern Label Punch, Large Twill Tape, Night of Navy Watercolor Crayon, Gold Brads, Dimensionals, Top Note Die-Cut, and the Embossing Plates!

You color directly onto the stamp using the Watercolor Crayons, then you lightly mist the stamp with water - use a small water bottle, then you stamp onto the twill tape! This is my new favorite technique!

Happy 4th of July!

Hope you have a very safe and Happy 4th!

I've created these samples using our scallop edge punch that is the special of the week! Also using the same stamp set, die-cuts and punches to create completely different cards! Enjoy!
