In The Moment - Pop out Window Card

01/14/2022

New from the January-June 2022 catalog, "In The Moment" stamp set is sure to be a favorite. The images and phrases are perfect for a little encouragement. This is a great project to use the Layering Diorama Dies and Blending Brushes.

Here is a direct front view and then what the back of the card looks like:

Card Details:

Basic White Card Stock (CS):
- 2 pieces 5-1/2 x 6-1/4
- 3-3/4 x 5
- 4 x 5-1/4
- 3 x 3 or scrap piece for girl
Pumpkin Pie CS: 2 pieces 4 x 5-1/4

Blends Alcohol markers: Ivory, Crumb Cake, Soft Sea Foam, Daffodil Delight, Pale Papaya, Soft Succulent, Cherry Cobbler

Accessories: Blending Brushes, Layering Diorama Dies

Front of Card:

Score both 5-1/2 x 6-1/4 pieces of Basic White the same. 1/2" and 1" both ends - on the long side of CS (better to fold score lines later). Making scores lines, will create a center section that is 4-1/4 x 5-1/2 (like a standard card front) so you can use that a reference to make sure you scored correctly.
Die cut one of above pieces with Layering Diorama Die in center of CS (I laid my at an angle)
Take 4 x 5-1/4 Pumpkin Pie CS, center on back of above piece, lightly trace the Diorama opening from front. Use the next smaller Diorama die that fits in the tracing, and die cut.
Fully adhere Pumpkin Pie CS to Basic White making sure you can see the Pumpkin Pie outline from the front
Find stamp with word "relax". Use Basic Black Stampin' Marker to color "relax" only and stamp on bottom, right side of card front.
Stamp girl with Memento Ink and color using Stampin' Blends. Fussy cut and adhere her to front of card. NOTE: watch where you put adhesive, only needs to be on bottom portion.

Inside Scenery:

Take 4 x 5-1/4 Basic White CS and color scenery with Blending Brushes (Balmy Blue at bottom, then go up and blend in Pool party, Pumpkin Pie and finally, Daffodil Delight at top.
Color birds only, from girl stamp, with Basic Black Marker and stamp three sets of birds
Adhere scenery piece to center of 2nd piece of 6-1/4 x 5-1/2 Basic White CS
On other side of this same 5-1/2 x 6-1/4 Basic White, you can add the other Pumpkin Pie CS and the 3-3/4 x 5 Basic White with stamped sentiment

Putting it all together: Place adhesive ONLY on the outer edges of the Basic White CS. I found it best to line up one side then the other. You can now do your folds and crease with a bone folder. The 1" score line will be a mountain fold. The 1/2" score line will be a valley fold and will create tab ends and this is what you fold in to mail in a regular A2 envelope.
