Stylin Sunday... Stampin Up! Tutorial # 14

Today I want to show you a Layered Window Frame card. I am CASING it from Split coast Stampers. Great website with loads of ideas and forums.  You can do this card in any color scheme you would like. Today I have chosen Black, Basic Grey and Whisper White.

Step 1:  you will need to start off with a piece of cardstock cut to 4 1/4" x 11". Score the 4 1/4" x 11" cardstock at 3 1/2", 4 1/2", 6 1/2" and 7 1/2".

Step 2: Fold up with Valley, Mountain, Mountain, and Valley Folds. Crease well.

Step 3: Lay the largest die on the folded card, making sure to center it top to bottom and exactly around the mountain folds. Use reposition able tape to hold die in place. Cut using bigshot.

Step 4: Using the third Largest die, cut out front of the card using the big shot.

Step 5: Again using the third largest die, with cutting edge facing up, trace around the outer edge of the die. Cut out with scissors. This will be the backing of the card front (step 4).

Step 6: Stamp image on the front of the card. Sponge around edges to soften the look. Layer it to the backing using dimensional adhesive.

Step 7: Stamp the same image (or a different image if desired) on the two 1 1/2" x 3 1/4" pieces. Sponge around edges to soften. Adhere them to each side of the card, the part that will be folded behind the front.

Step 8: Adhere the front image to the center of the folded card, making sure to only apply adhesive to the CENTER of it. Otherwise, the sides of the card will not pull out.

Step 9: The card will stand alone when the sides are pulled out a bit.

Here are a few versions of this card...
