Windows to the World -- (2/21 - 3/1) -- WINNER ANNOUNCED!!!!!
« on: February 14, 2015, 09:54:38 AM »
My challenge is called Windows to the World. We see a lot out of our windows. My cats love too sit in my windows and look out at the bird feeder! We see beautiful sunsets, trees, houses, people, cars, etc. and recently ice and snow! :smile:

For this challenge please make some kind of window on your project. The window can be a die cut, a stamp, a shaker window or any window you can think of. Please use a stamped image on your project, not just a saying. Also use patterned paper and at least one embellishment. I will give an RAK to a randomly chosen winner! You can make a card, tag, box, etc. Please upload your project to the gallery and link it here to this post so that everyone can see it. Most of all have fun! :smile:

Here are some samples -- http://stampwillydesigns.blogspot.com/2014/12/the-collector.html

Very cool, Willy! I have a good idea for my entry already--including the (pesky)  :knuppel2:  embellishment requirement.  :smitten:

Good challenge!  I do not have a window die, but I think using a regular die would work to get a window look.  Thanks for hosting!

LOL, Willy! Yeah I guess... ;D I finished my window card & will share it soon as possible. I really like the way it turned out--even the embellishment(s) work. Thanks for a fun challenge, April!

Sarah, your card is such a cute spring scene! I love the curtains!

I have a couple of ideas for this challenge. I looked through my Cricut cartridges last night and was surprised that none of them had a window die cut on them. I have a couple ideas, just need to decide which stamps I want to use.

I also love the curtains on Sarahs card!

Here is my entry:
http://www.duhnproductions.com/Pics/displayimage.php?pid=1097&message_id=56307450d8985da524ce554e5d8efa74&message_icon=info#cpgMessageBlock

I originally designed this so my image would be in the inside of the folded card and you would be able to see the bird when you opened the card.  However, when I tried that, the bird didn't look right from the outside because the card would not lay perfectly flat. I wonder if there is a trick for that!   Would a side folding card lay more flat than a top folding card?  Also, I used thick cardstock, so maybe a thinner cardstock would work better for that.

This is a fun challenge! Thank you.

Thanks for the praise everybody.

Heidi - do you use a bone folder when you fold your card bases?  A sharper crease may help with lining it up.

Yes I do use a bone folder. I bet it is too thick of cardstock. I is the 120 lb from Michaels.
