Bay Window slowly Melinda

 There is nothing like the slime line bay window card. This was fun to make and worth the time and effort. You can use the long slim legal size envelope and postage is the same as a standard size envelope.  Check it out on my video. https://youtu.be/5-eJVVKQxb4

 Tea light fancy fold card. Make it very similar to the tunnel card. You can use any punch or die to produce the windows. Each of the quadrants will have its own image using vellum. You can heat emboss, folder emboss or glue intricate die cut pieces to the vellum. The dimensions were given in the video. Please watch the video for details on the card and other options.

October 2021 alternate paper pumpkin

Here is a quick description of my alternative to the October 2021 paper pumpkin. 

You will turn your card inside out and score at 2 1/8 then fold back so inside of card is facing out. for your layout choose your real red banner and wrap with twine and tie a bow. the snow bank measures exactly 81/2 long width can vary from 1 1/2 to 21/2 inches as desired .  After free hand cutting slopes fold  in half like a card and fold right side in half again but in opposite direction. The first halfway fold faces away from inside of card and the 1/4 fold faces into card. Glue only ends to the card. the first section is glued only to the first quarter of the card. For the end glue entire quarter down. You will create 2 snow banks- One larger than the other. the small one will be your final bottom edge. This is done free hand and you might just have to cut another piece to make the smaller piece. There is a final piece of white cardstock added to the 2nd quarter which is a 2 by 5 to 5 1/4. The peaceful deer bundle was used along with a plaid dsp pattern for th/e deer. The peaceful place dsp was used to cut out the lodge. Please check out the video for more details.
