Hi + Happy Friday! Today I have some fun window cards to share with you, so let’s jump right in!

In this first one, I’m using a window technique that I love — putting acetate behind a die cut shape so that you can build a scene.  The acetate also helps strengthen the card when you use a larger shape like this one

Featured Supplies

• Pop Stems
• Together Special Edition
• Clear Design All Occasion Messages
• Sunshine, Pool, Acetate Notecards
• Rose Petals, Misty Meadow Chalk Queues
• Assorted Crystal Gemstones
• Other: ribbon (American Crafts), colored pencils (Prismacolor), pop dots, shaped die (Nestabilities Labels One, Spellbinders), dry adhesive or gluestick

I adhered the acetate to the inside of the front of the card with dry adhesive — you can also use a gluestick — just wait for it to dry.
Here’s a tip — get more from your stamps by cutting out stamped images and using them for different purposes. After I used the butterfly from the Together Special Edition set on the card above I thought — hey! — that would make a great mini window card!

There’s also a sneak peek stamp, too — the Design Block Dots and Flowers stamp (S5213)!  I just LOVE it!

Featured Supplies

• Together Special Edition
• SNEAK PEEK! Design Block Dots and Flowers stamp (S5213)!

Retailers can begin ordering sneak peek stamps on Monday, March 30th! WOO HOO!

Speaking of sneak peeks, here’s another — the Design Block Designer Woodgrain (S5208)!  You know how I LOVE woodgrain!

For this card, I used a smaller die and then put a matching one on the inside of the card so that you could see it through the window

Now, how about a giveaway?  I told my friend Kim from Spellbinders that I was doing “window week” here on the blog and asked her if she would like to do a giveaway and she said YES!  She sent me a set of their best selling Nestabilities Labels One dies!  WOO HOO!  These are the same ones that I used on the cards above.  Feast your eyes on the six different sizes that come in the set — they all nest together!

And, that’s not all!  Also included in the giveaway is the springy Flower Branch with Owl!

I just love using this stamp with those Nesties. To enter the giveaway, just leave a comment on this post. We’ll announce the random winner on Monday.

Speaking of Monday – that’s the one year anniversary of the Hero Blog! WOW! Come celebrate with us!  We’ll be having LOTS of giveaways, special guests and MORE!
