Clean and Simple Window Fun

Good morning, and welcome to the weekend.  It's Saturday, so it's my day to post at the Scraptownlady Blog.  I've had so many folks drop me a message saying how much they like seeing some simpler creations using these beautiful products, so I tried another clean and simple card for you today. This card uses one stamp set, 2 sheets of designer paper, some ink, a scrap of ribbon, and adhesive.  Yep, that's all!

This is the card front, complete with a huge OOPS!  Do you see it?  As I was adhering my focal panel with ScorTape, I realized I had not distressed the panel edges.  I tried to grab it before it stuck, but it was not to be.  So, enjoy this crooked creation :)

This is the inside top of the card.  I like to keep the entire bottom free, when writing my Chemo Buddies, or Senior Buddies. This card will go to my Senior Buddy, so I need to write a lengthy note!

Using the beautiful patterned papers, I sponged some ink, and stamped the Flourishes images directly onto a scrap, just large enough to fit behind the Grand Madison Window Die.  The window was die cut, also from the patterned paper!  It was sponged to distress it a bit, and adhered with dimensional foam for some added delight. 

Put everything together with some pretty ribbon, and TA-DA!  Clean, simple, and a bit of Window Fun!

I have a new box of Scraptownlady fall themed yumminess on the way, so be watching for some brand new items next week!

DID YOU KNOW.....Scraptownlady has started offering a 20% discount EVERYDAY?  On EVERY order?  And she still calculates shipping based on her actual cost (including cost of box for 12 x 12 items). Where else can you get low, low shipping AND 20% discount?

Thanks for stopping by!

Designer Tip:  When I receive a handmade card, I love when it has dimension - popped up items, wiggly things, soft and fluffy ribbons, etc., so next time you are creating, be sure to add something fun.  Whoever finds your card in their mailbox will not be able to resist touching and feeling all the goodness!
