BSS MONDAY IDEA - Window Fold-Over Card and Paper Piecing

Welcome to the Buffalo Stamps and Stuff Monday Idea. 

This week, I set out to make this Window Fold-Over Card, which is a new

card design for me, and once I got to making up the card, I decided that the

darling Stampingbella image should be paper pieced.  So two techniques

this week.

Card Front

 Another view of card front.

Inside of card.

Stamp set - Stampingbella, The Right Shoes (cb250)

Paper - Black, red, white , tan and Black and white dotted 

card stock.

Stamped with Versafine Onyx Black ink and

embossed with clear embossing powder, except

bows on shoes were stamped with Versamark Clear

ink, embossed with white Embossing Powder.

Spellbinders circle nestabilities 31/4" die for cutout

Dotted ribbon.

Clear rhinestones.

Card base (Black) is 12x4, score at 6"

Insert

Inside insert layers are:

Dotted Paper is 5"x57/8"

Red Paper is 4"x57/8"

White Image Layer - 31/2"x5 7/8"

Choose an image.  Cut the circle into the black card

front where you want your image to show.

Center the red layer to the dotted layer and adhere.  Center

the white image layer on the red layer (DO NOT ADHERE)

slide it inside the black card, Only the edges of the

dotted paper should show when the card is closed.

Make a small mark where your image should be stamped inside 

the circle.

I made a small pencil mark at the bottom of the stamp on

the white layer.  Remove the white layer, stamp and

color or paper piece your image.

To paper piece, I stamped the legs on tan, the shoes on red,

and the bows on the dotted card stock.  Cute them out and

glued them to the white image layer.  I stamped the

sentiment on red card stock, cut around the words, then using a small

piece of black card stock behind it,

 cut around leaving a small border.

Adhere the finished stamped and colored or pieced layer to

the red layer by centering, 

Adhere the insert inside the black card to the inside

 back only. Image should now be centered

in the circle cutout when card is closed.  Add a ribbon to the front.

This makes a 5x6 inch card.

Measurements to make a 41/2x51/2 inch card:

Card base is 11x 31/4 inch, score at 51/2 inches

Layers are:

41/4 x 5 7/16 inches, 3 7/8 x 5 7/16 inches and

3x5 7/16 inches.  You will need to use a smaller

circle for the cutout.

This is a fun image and the card is fun to make.

Hope you have a chance to try it soon.

Thanks for stopping by today

Have a great week.
