Punched Windows

This is an interesting design which doesn't show up too well in a photo.  The Elegant SoirĂ©e Designer Series paper is stamped with three birds from the new Level 1 Hostess set, Punch Potpourri, in Night of Navy. The paper is then punched with the 1-3/8" circle punch, to create holes in the background. The coordinating Confetti Cream cardstock scrap is stamped with the bird, then punched out with the Two-Step Bird Extra-Large punch. The body of the bird is inserted BEHIND the punched circle, aligning the stamped image from the front of the card with the punched image, then glued under the designer paper.  The wing is added afterwards, using a Dimensional.  Leaves are punched and added to the greeting tag, which was stamped using the Level 3 Occasional Quotes Hostess set and tied on using 1/4" Early Espresso grossgrain ribbon. Cardstocks used are Crumb Cake, River Rock and Baja Breeze.

  1. This sounds very interesting, but I'll have to read it about 12 times to fully comprehend...(remember me, I'm the one that read the instructions on the fabric adhesive roll 12 times!) The card looks gorgeous, but I suspect I am not getting the full idea yet.
    All this time and I did not know you had a blog! Off to check out more.
