Memory Box makes the Grand Madison Window and the Small Madison Window die. They are wonderful. Memorybox is their website, though you cannot order direct from them.
They're actually made by Poppystamps which is a subsidiary of Memory Box. I got mine from Frantic Stamper. Quick shipping and great customer service :-)

I love the Poppystamps window dies - I ordered from Frantic Stamper as well. but check out Ellen Hutson ( she restocks fairly frequently) - also Simon Says. I seem to be collecting these dies right and left. The window dies are so versatile, cut beautifully and actually emboss without an embossing pad. Add the new window box, the wildflower patch or the ivy tendrils to embellish further.
Here's my scrapbook layout with the Grand Madison Window die and a Magnolia Tilda leaning out...
Molly, just wanted to say what an adorable page you made. I like the window die with Tilda popping out! Also the verse is very nice! Just a great page! TFS!
Poppy Stamps' Valentines collection has flower box dies for both the small and grand Madison window plus a flower patch die to add some color to your window box. They're really cute.

I agree. I love Impress. I'm lucky enough to live in the area so can visit their 3 stores when I get the urge. If you "like" them on Facebook or get on their email list, you can get occasional coupons codes for online and in-store purchases. They had 20% off entire purchase just last week (expired 1/2/12).
Our Daily bread Designs was out of the window die for some time. Now they have it in. However, it was $25 before they ran out of them now it is listed as $25 ON SALE and a regular price of $30. So it appears they are increasing their prices too. That is a 20% increase. I don't know if their other prices are increasing .
All this stuff just keeps going up and up. :(

If you want to see some fabulous work using the grand Madison window die, take a look at Kittie Caracciolo's work. She is simply amazing and amazingly nice! Here is link to her gallery Splitcoaststampers Member Galleries - kittie747 - Handmade Cards & Crafts. Scroll down for the window pics. All of her work is awesome. Her blog is full of tutorials. After seeing what she did with the grand Madison, I just HAD to have it! Also isn't her poinsettias and flowers to die for. OOOOOO! I just LOVE Miss Kittie! I subscribe to her blog and wait for every email.
BTW: I got my grand Madison from Ellenhutson.com. Very quick reliable service. $18.
Would anyone who owns this die be willing to cute me one and mail it to me? I would like to see if it would work for my project before I spend $19.00. Please let me know and I will send mailing address.

Thanks so much.
If you print a picture of the image off from the Poppystamps website, it is at full size. You could take that sample to hold over your work and save a wait and save some postage costs. I did a cut and paste of the image into Word and it comes in at the correct size of the original.
Hope this helps :-)

I, too, agree that Impress is a great place to get your dies from. Their employees couldn't be nice and very fast shipping. However, I do have a problem with their shipping prices. I ordered about $175 worth of the dies and was charged $11.95 for shipping. Since they weighed almost nothing, they shipped them in a small flat rate prioirity mail envelope which cost them $5. I have no problem paying actual shipping cost but I don't like to see a business making $7.95 on shipping especially since they don't have to provide anything as the flat rate envelope is free.
I can not find the window die on Poppystamps.
If someone would please cut me one and mail it to me I would greatly appreciate it. I will pay all costs. Thanks so much.

Did you ever get a sample as u asked for? If not, I'll send you one. I have the grand madison. PM me your name and address if u want the sample. Don't worry abt the cost of the stamp!
Just received the small Madison window from Impress. I cannot seem to be able to emboss my paper using the Cuttlebug. Anyone have the recipe? Thanks
The sandwich I use for my cuttlebug is (from bottom up) A plate, 2-3 shims of cardstock, B plate, paper to cut, die with cutting side down, C plate. The embossing showed up fine on my test cuts.
Maybe the paper you were cutting wasn't thick enough for the embossing to show up. If that's the case, you might try putting an extra piece of paper underneath it so that it will push the real paper into the die to get embossed.
