There are dozens of ways to make window cards, but today, I am going to talk about making an acetate window card using acetate sheets, otherwise known as window sheets. I like using the acetate sheets for my window cards because it adds an element of surprise or a “peek” to the inside of the card.
For my window card, I chose to use two bundles from the 2023 January – April Mini Catalog: Two-Tone Flora and Something Fancy. I paired it with the Fancy Flora 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper. The prints and colors in this paper are beautiful and chose colors within the Designer Series Paper for my stamping: Orchid Oasis, Calypso Coral and Soft Succulent. Since the sentiment is visible through the “window,” I decided not to do an external greeting.
