greenery lane peek through card

This Greenery Lane Bundle and coordinating Washi Tape has limitless possibilities and this week I had a play with all of the supplies from these products. I came up with a couple cards and this one I sent away as this month’s swap card for my demonstrator monthly swap – hope they like it!

This peek through masculine card features not only the Greenery Lane stamp set and matching dies but the coordinating wide Washi Tape and the dies work with the tape just like the Extraordinary Flora set!

Measurements:
BASE: Lost Lagoon CS: 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″
scored at 4 1/4″
Pretty Peacock CS: 4″ x 5 1/4″
Basic White CS: 3 3/4″ x 5″

Lay the tape on the Basic White CS layer and smooth out with your bone folder so there are no wrinkles.

Run the Basic White Washi Tape layer through the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss machine with the Lovely Stripes 3D embossing folder using the Base #1 plate and the embossing #4 plate.

Run Stampin’ Seal on the top and left hand edge only to secure the embossed layer to the Pretty Peacock matte layer. I want to use both dies separately that is why I will adhere the other side after running it through the machine!

Place the smallest Branching out concentric dies on the layer and decide where to make the cut.

Run through the machine using the set up for a thin die: Base plate #1, thin die adaptor #2. and sandwich the paper and die in between two #3 cutting plates. Run through cutting both embossed and matte layers and separate the layers.

I used the embossed layer to cut out a smaller foliage sprig to use later as decoration.

Adhere the other side of the embossed layer to the Pretty Peacock matte layer and then adhere both to the card front.

Nestle the die into the open space and through through the machine again to cut out the same die through the card front layer.

I stamped the love and hugs sentiment in full strength Lost Lagoon ink and then the larger leaf sprig in first generation stamping (that is stamping off one time on my grid paper to get a lighter background color and effect.)

Then I added Stampin’ Seal to the back of the Pretty Peacock die cut and with the card front closed I added it through the die hole to adhere to the inside back of the card.

Open the card front and the die will be placed in the correct position to see through the front die cut opening! Burnish the layer to make sure it is adhered properly!

I adhered the smaller sprig die cut and three Holographic Resin Dots to finish off this sweet masculine Greenery Lane peek through card!

I love interactive cards and this peek through window is a fun treat for anyone that receives it!

Fun folds are so appropriately named because they are just plain fun! This peekaboo circle window card is easier than it looks and is so fun to get and open!

Measurements:
Base: Basic White 8 1/2″ x 11″ scored at 4 1/4″
cut in half at 5 1/2″
DSP: 2″ x 5 3/8″ and 4″ x 5 1/4″
Smoky Slate CS: scrap for the large banner die
from Stylish Shapes and strip of 1/4″ x 5 1/2″
Pretty Peacock CS: scrap for the thin large
banner die from Stylish Shapes
Vellum CS: scrap for the third largest circle
from Stylish Shapes
Basic White scrap for the largest die from
Stylish Shapes die set

Take the entire sheet of Basic White CS and score at 4 1/4″

Rotate the paper in the paper trimmer and cut in half at the 5 1/2″ mark.

Take one of the scored pieces of card stock and make an additional score line at 2 1/8″. This will be the cards inside piece.

Cut the winter Meadow DSP at 4″ x 5 1/4″ for the card front layer and at 2″ x 5 3/8″ for the z fold portion of the card.
Adhere the 4″ x 5 1/4″ to the card front this will be the piece that only has the middle score line at 4 1/4″.

Fold the card stock that has two score lines so that the larger portion sits on the left hand side and fold the score line at 4 1/4″ back towards the left then fold the score line at 2 1/8″ back towards the right side of the card stock.
Adhere the 2″ x 5 3/8″ to the upper most fold of the card the small section that has a fold on the left side and the edge on the right.

Run the card front covered in DSP through the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss machine with the 2nd largest circle from the Stylish Shapes die set.
I designed the card to have a banner on the left side so I cut the circle off centered on purpose. Normally I would have centered the circle so it was even on the top and both sides.

Cut a very small piece off the edge of the larger section of the inside piece so when you adhere the layers together it folds without buckling. I place the card edge just on the right hand dark edge and cut a sliver off the edge.

Adhering the two bases together is tricky and I found the easiest way to do it is place Stampin’ Seal on one side and place the edge of the card front on the top of the Stampin’ Trimmer then add the inside piece by placing the edge up against the top edge of the stampin’ Trimmer as well and laying the second card on top of the first making sure the edges are aligned.

Stamp on Vellum cardstock one of the snowflakes from the Sparkling Snowflakes stamp set in Pretty Peacock ink. (Caution allow several minutes to dry on vellum it does not dry instantaneously and will smear if handled too quickly)

when dry die cut with the third largest circle from the Stylish Shapes die set and adhere to the die cut from the card front.

Fold the card and place adhesive through the circle die cut opening only on the DSP fold.

Lay the circle die cut through the circle opening and press into the adhesive on the fold.

Stamp the winter greetings sentiment from the Sparkling Snowflakes stamp set in Pretty Peacock ink on the largest banner from the Stylish Shapes die set and stamp off with a smaller snowflake on either side of the sentiment.

I added a Pretty Peacock banner to the left side (I eventually decided to add the Smoky Slate CS matte underneath it)

Pop up the sentiment piece on Stampin’ Dimensionals and adhere to the center bottom of the card front.

I added adhesive backed Sparkle gems to the card front.

I decided I wanted more silver tone on the card so I added a larger banner die in Smoky Slate CS and the beautiful new Silver and White Sheer ribbon under the sentiment piece.

Here is a shot of the card partially opened from the top view!

Here is a shot from the front with the card partially opened! So fun!

Here is the card with the added Smoky Slate banner from the front view! I love this color combination and Designer Series Paper makes it so easy to achieve color coordination!
