I am so excited to be able to give you a sneak peeks at the upcoming August to December mini catalog! This catalog debuts August 1st and I will be getting copies to all those that expressed interest or have purchased from me in the last year! This card is a paneled window card using the Harvest Suite (#156280). There are so many fabulous goodies in this suite and I have only used four of them on this card!
I used our Stampin’ Trimmer to cut a center section out of the card front.
I used a standard card size piece of Daffodil Delight card base (#119683) measuring 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ and scored at 4 1/4″. I am scoring the card base in this first photograph! Using the lighter gray “blade” (remember lighter color means lighter impression – it only scores doesn’t cut) the darker gray blade is the cutting blade.

I started parallel to the 8 1/2″ side by cutting a 5 1/2″ long slice starting from the score line to the paper’s edge, 1 1/2 inches in from each side – only on one side of the score line – see photographs below.

Next turn the card base and place the score line on the cutting groove – place the cutting blade (the darker of the two blades) on the score line 1 1/2″ in from the side and cut towards the other cut line – stop when you connect to the opposite cut line – see photographs below. You will end up with a rectangular shape cut from the front panel of your card base.

Take a window sheet (#142314) and cut a piece slightly smaller than a 1/4 sheet of cardstock (3 15/16″ x 5 3/16″. Using Stampin’ Seal + (#149699) or Tear n’ Tape (#154031) along the inside surfaces of each 1 1/2″ piece of the cardfront. Adhere the window sheet to the inside of the cardfront. Then cut 2 pieces of DSP – I used the new coordinating Harvest Meadow 12″ x 12″ DSP (#156494) cut to 1 1/2″ x 5 3/16″ (cutting just slightly shorter than the cardstock will give you room at the fold)

I stamped the large flower image in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink (#132708) in the back center of the cardbase so the image can be visualized through the window panel!

Using the Mini Cut and Emboss machine I die cut the daisy image out of Basic Black cardstock (#121045) making a silhouette image. I adhered those two images to the outside front side panels .

Using one of the fabuloous new accessories in this gorgeous suite — the 3/8″ diamond weave ribbon (#156507) I dyed the ribbon a hue darker using the Crushed Curry ink (#147087) and a Sponge Dauber (#133773) (this ribbon is thick and full of depth and dimension – I would probably use a blending brush next time to color this ribbon (#153611)!

Stamping a sentiment from the Nature’s Harvest stamp set (#156495) onto Shimmery White Cardstock (#101910) and popped it up on Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) across the bottom of the window panel.

I was in too big of a hurry to finish the card I did not allow the ribbon to completely dry so the ink rubbed off on the card – HA! learn from my mistakes!! That is why I included the photos of the not so perfect card – I have been stamping for over 20 years and I still make and learn from my mistakes!!

I hope you enjoyed this sneak peek window panel card using some of the fabulous new products in the Harvest Meadow Suite Collection! Now off you go to create your own art – one stamp at a time!

Happy Stampin’
