Through the Window

Hello, Friends!  Time for another challenge with Cards in Envy!  This challenge asks us to create a card where part of the design is INSIDE the card but can be seen from the outside "through the window." 

I created this love card using a OWH fund raiser digi stamp from Doodle Pantry.  The heart is cut out creating my window to the inside of the card where you can see a completed heart image.



A2 sized card = 5.5" x 4.25"
Image from Doodle Pantry "With Heart" set
Card Recipe:
  • Mat 1 (green) = 5.5" x 4.25"
  • Mat 2 (yellow pattern) = 5.25" x 4"
  • Mat 3 (green border) = .75" x 4".

  • Elephant = image from Doodle Pantry "With Heart".  Heart has been punched out creating my window.  Image sized at 2.155" x 2.155".
  • Sentiment = from Doodle Pantry "With Heart" set.
