WT85 - Open a Window
This Ways to Use it Challenge was suggested by Carol Sheevel. This week the challenge is to find Ways to Use WINDOWS in your projects. I just love the peekaboo, interactive effect you get with a window but for some reason, I rarely think about using them. There are many ways to incorporate windows into your cards. The easiest is to use a circle or square punch, but you can also use a shape cutter system such as Coluzzle or your xacto knife. The window can be a simple hole, a glitter window, a window in a neat fold, and there are also many types of beaded windows. Also, how about one of those donut windows that have been so popular lately. There are so many ideas...make it as simple or as complex as you wish...but we'd love to see you play along! This challenge is a very open one so I looking forward to seeing lots of creations this week.
Trifold Window - Cambria
Shaker Style Beaded Window - Mona Lisa
Beaded Fruit Window - Labullard
Beaded Window - an old one by myself
Please remember to put WT85 in your keywords section and post a link back here. If you need any help please pm me. I apologize for mostly being MIA these past couple weeks. I really hope to play along this afternoon.
Happy stamping, |

If it opens or you can peer through it to an inside layer...it's a window!  Go for it! |

Hi everyone! well, I guess i am getting off easy on my commitment to myself to do the challenges every day as I already have a couple of window cards.
...darn! I was hoping to get out of raking leaves (in the snow) but I guess i better get to it before the fluffers turn into flurries.
here's my last years Halloween glitter window:
Gallery at Splitcoaststampers
I have a winter one around here somewhere, I will upload it to my gallery when I am too pooped to rake any longer:-(

Oh yeah! We can do a peek-a-boo window! I want to try that on a card when I get home.

Here is my card. My little guy actually decided to have a morning nap today so I got it done this morning. This switch to one nap a few weeks ago is REALLY cutting into my stamping time!:( I designed this double window tri-fold card for this challenge....

Grace Window
Had a minute and decided to try the challenge. I was shopping at Stamplistic yesterday in Amherst, OH. Saw this window card and it made it all that much easier to do the challenge. Hope the picture transfers well so you can see the window and "shutters" on all sides.
Thanx for the challenge.

OK, I'll stop after this post. There is a card already in my gallery using beads around the window. I love framing a window with those little beads!

I did the packing tape technique on this card for the first time and I like it - thanks for the push, Julia - a new technique on the menu for me!
