This is a really simple card, but I think it looks great and wanted to share it with you. I used a 6x6 piece of textured Pumpkin Pie cardstock folded in half for the card base. I love the little bit of "oomph" the texture adds to the card. The square punches are all on my wish list, so I cut the window out with my straight cutter, you could also use a craft knife. After I cut the window out I mounted a 3x6 piece of white cardstock on the inside of the card, closed the card and lightly marked the corners of the window with pencil. Then I stamped the images from Heartfelt Thanks and erased the pencil marks.
The inside of the white frame is the same size as the window on the card base, the outside is about a quarter inch bigger. The glitter window is amazingly easy to make. Take a piece of clear packing tape and adhere it to the back of the window frame, sprinkle glitter over it and your ready to put it on your card. Slice an opening in the fold of the card to thread the Pumpkin Pie striped ribbon through, tie a square knot on the front and the card is done. Very simple, and very versatile, and it fits in a standard envelope! Have fun!
