Embossed Window Card



Hi all! Kristina here. :) Today I have a card for you that features an embossed clear window...


And because the letters and banner on the front can bee seen on the inside of the card, they're covered on the inside, too...


I also put a second "booklet" inside in the card for an extra punch of color and pattern, and also so there would be a place to write a message inside. The window was too large to leave the inside of the card plain. There would be no where to write a message! LOL!


Anyhow, be sure to watch the video to see how it all came together. :)

    Great card. I always try to cover anything that can be seen from the inside of the card (as you did the lettering). Hate to see exposed ends and paper that isn't the best looking.
