Happy Thoughts
>> Tuesday, February 23, 2021
Hi Everyone,
I'm showing off the new Arched Window stamp on my first card today. It's so cold and snowy here, I needed to make a pleasant scene to warm me up...I'm dreaming of the sunny, cheerful days to come.
I stamped the window a few times and fussy cut out the first one. I made a mask out of the second one, and fussy cut the shutters on the third one. I then colored and attached those shutters to the back of the window shutters, so that they could be folded shut. I hope that makes sense.
The background was made using The Floor stamp and an embossed brick wall. I also stamped and fussy cut the Cattail Milk Pail and the One Line Happy Thoughts Greeting.
Here you can see what the window looks like opened up. I used the mask I made for the window as a helper to stamp the tree top and the hot air balloon.
The tree and balloon come from the following stamps:
For my St. Patrick's Day card I stamped and heat embossed the new Shamrock of Shamrocks using gold embossing powder. I stamped the bottom using the Small Shamrock Group and the made the greeting using the Tiny St. Pat's Day
Please send me some Irish luck to chase away the snowflakes!
Happy Stamping!

Karin! I love these!!! I had a blurry vision of how to do the shutters like this but couldn't work out the mechanics - but you did! Wow. GREAT idea and I love, love, love the card. So well done! The second is super cool too - the shamrocks look beautiful embossed in gold. Brilliant ideas here, my friend. Hugz
Karin I love, love, love the window scene. Great emboss folder and fantastic use of the new window. The St Patrick's day card is Gorgeous with the hints of gold. Well done on both cards.
How clever to have those shutters movable! Never thought to do this, but I’m gonna try it now! Thanks for the inspiration! It’s a beautiful card. Your gold embossed image on the second card is lovely. I did try to do this, but yours is much prettier than mine! Gorgeous St. Patrick’s Day card.
I love the way your shutters open to reveal your outdoor scene! What a great idea!!
Your second card with the green on green is so pretty I love how that turned out! The sketch is really pretty too! Beautiful cards!
This is so clever, Karin! The interactive window is such a great idea & I love the whole little scene.Your shamrock card is terrific w/ the gold embossing.
