Shadow Box Card

I wanted to make an unusual card for my friend's birthday and found this style card on line at:
http://thefrugalcrafter.wordpress.com/2013/03/07/how-t-make-a-shadow-box-card-video-tutorial/

Here are direction:

Cut 2 pieces of cardstock 4" x 7'

Cut a 2 1/2" circle from the middle of one of the 4" x 7" pieces

Stamp an image on watercolor paper

Cut 2 1/2" circle from the stamped image

Color the image

Use whatever color method, for this I used my new inktense pencils by Derwent.

Score both 4" x 7" pieces of cardstock at 1" and 1/2" from both sides (in that order)
                      Should be like this 1"/1/2"/4"/1/2"/1"

Glue circle image to middle of the uncut piece

Glue both 4" x 7" pieces together and embellish

Fold on score lines

Two flowers were made using the Cuttlebug Quill Kits, Recollections Silver glue and Flower Soft was also used to finish off this card.

Annie Looks Out the Window Card

 The Front-N-Back stamp set from Art Impressions are just so much fun to work with. I used several of their stamps to complete this adorable card.

Stamp Annie UMT 1518 with Ranger Archival Ink on 140 lb. cold press water color paper.

Color Annie with Tombow Markers and watercolor brush.

Cut Annie out and glue two pieces together.

Stamp templates of both UMQ1502 and UMP1503 on scrap card stock.

Use template and pencil to decide where the placement of the front window should be on an A2 card and make guidelines for the stamp.

Print front window stamp according to guidelines.

Print inside window stamp on separate card stock.

Color and cut out the front window opening.

Color and cut out the inside window.

Glue inside window to inside of card, opposite front window.

Glue Annie looking out the inside window.

Here she is looking out at you from her window!

Add grass at the bottom of the outside window with stamp from the UM 3521 set.
