Even though they were retired, I decided to use the beveled windowpanes for my Christmas Card WOW class because they are so one-of-a-kind. They suited the card I had designed perfectly. The card, a large square measuring 5 1/4" x 5 1/4", showcased a lot of different techniques and embellishments. The two layers on the front of the card were each cut out with the Window Frame framelits. The Gumball Green one was left plain but the Naturals White was embossed with the Northern Flurry embossing folder. The sentiment was stamped in VersaMark and then heat embossed with the new Gumball Green embossing powder. Finally, the embossed snowflakes were lightly daubed with Dazzling Details.
That wonderful little bird from the Beautiful Season stamp set was stamped on Shimmer White cardstock and coloured with the Stampin' Write markers. The White Organza ribbon was pulled through the slits in the Beveled Windowpane, the stamped and coloured bird was slipped between the ribbon and the pane and then the bottom of the ribbon was fastened with some White Baker's twine and a Medium Faceted Vintage Button.
A couple of glittery snowflakes finished off the front of the card.
This would have been enough to give the card a place in the Christmas Card WOW class, but then I took it one step further. It became a twisted easel card.
Two more snowflakes on the inside of the card, held with a glittery brad, provided the "stop" for the easel to rest on. Now that is a WOW card!
Wow..indeed. I can see I need to add a trip to Canada (from Oregon) to next years holiday agenda so I can attend your classes next year!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card Heidi. Those windowpanes really are the coolest. I don't know what I will do when my 3 packages are gone. Just occured to me too...you could make that little birdie a removable pin! Hm...now where did I put that stamp set...
Thank you, Jean. You're certainly welcome anytime. Or if I'm down your way, perhaps we can both learn something from each other. That would be a lot of fun. :)
