Look-Through-the Window-Cards!!

Have you always wanted to create a card that you can SEE THROUGH to see the inside of a card? You may be thinking of a Window Card!!

Check out the Video Tutorial below:

When you are making a Window Card, you will need to have a cut-out in the front of the card as well as a piece of Acetate, and a backing piece that also has a cut-out in it.

Check out this idea with the Fairy die-cut!!

  • I started out with a card base, and a backing piece that fits on the backside of the front of the card.

  • I used a tiny piece of double-sided tape to hold the backing piece in place on the backside of the card front.

  • Next, I used a die-cut machine to cut out a hole in the front of the card. I always line up the “fold” part of the card with the edges of the cutting plate to keep from putting extra creases in the paper

  • Once the hole is cut out, I pulled away the front of the card from the backing piece so I had 2 pieces that both have a hole in them

  • I used this Fairy die-cut that I love SO MUCH (Bluebell Fairy Edger) and cut it out of light green card stock

  • I laid the fairy die cut on the backside of the card front lining it up with the circle underneath so it covers the circle on the right side. I trimmed the Fairy die-cut so it fit the card base on the top and bottom

  • Then I placed a piece of Acetate down and adhered it with double-sided tape.

  • Then I put double-sided tape on the backing piece and adhered it to the Acetate so that the circle cut-outs lined up

  • When I turned over the front of the card, I lifted the Fairy Wing off the paper and when you open up the card you can SEE THROUGH THE WINDOW!!!

  • For even more added fun, I used Alcohol Inks to colorize the Acetate!!!

Check out how fun this card is!! I LOVE how it turned out!!!!

Check out this similar idea with these Snowflake die cuts!!

I love the idea of a little bit of patterned paper behind the window as you peek in!

I love this idea where the Mermaid die cuts are sandwiched between 2 pieces of Acetate. I also cut out the mermaids from 2 different papers so you get a different look when you open the card!
