                COPPER FOIL TAPE FOR EDGING THE MIRROR WITH

*SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS / ALTERATIONS:

1.    When using craft mirrors, always cover the edges with a protective coating of some sort to  prevent cuts and help minimize breakage. I personally prefer to use the metal foil tape that is used for edging cut glass when doing stained glass projects. I have found this works exceptionally well and looks great when burnished. It can be purchased at Hobby Lobby or any of your craft stores.

2.    I used the Spellbinder’s Petite Oval die to cut an oval center in the middle of ‘Fiona’s Magic Window’. Over-laid the mirror with it and embellished the oval edge with tiny pearls to give it a much more finished edge.

3.   The white lace was a strip about 3”- 4” long that I gathered on a piece of jewelry making wire. Makes a great embellishment!  And so simple to do.

*SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS / ALTERATIONS:

1.   Cut four (4) of the Cheery Lynn Window ‘A’ from white cardstock & four (4) of the

Lifestyle Crafts Scalloped Circles from peach cardstock. Set peach cutouts aside. I placed the largest of the Scalloped Circles Die *Cutter* over the white Window ‘A’ cut-out, allowing for a small border, and cut that out. Then I backed the die-cut with the peach cut-outs, matching up my scallops, and trimmed off the panes & everything below the arched portion of the window. Glued them together and positioned them to form a frame and added Mr. Buddy to the center. He is so sweet in this picture.

2.   I made my flowers from the scraps of the paper I used so it would match.

3.  My dear Buddy… I know you are the manly kind and peachy-pink would not have been your choice; but these paper colors just matched your photo so beautifully, I figured you wouldn’t mind just this one time. J

*SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS / ALTERATIONS:

1.   I cut two (2) of Window A, cut off the bottom portions and then used the smallest of the Grand Scalloped Ovals to cut the scalloped edge above the Windows. Then I glued them together to form a doily that is slightly oval shaped.  I covered the seam with the narrow pink satin ribbon and backed it with green textured cardstock.

                   

2.   The peach organza flower I made by pulling the wire on one edge of the ribbon, causing it to gather. Rolled it in the shape of a rose and glued it down.         

3.   The three small pink roses are nestled in the relief shapes left when I cut out the Nellie Snellen Jumbo Flower punch petals for another card. The relief shapes look like hearts and I hated to waste them, so I designed the card around it.

2.                   I cut Window B out of the same white cardstock and trimmed off the arched portion leaving just the panes.

3.                   I connected the top of Window A to the bottom of Window B to create yet another window and then placed the acetate behind it.

                BLACK SATIN RIBBON 1/16” (For inside trim around the Windows)

                WHITE & LAVENDER RIBBON (For under the edge of Roofs)

                3-D  DOTS

                GALLERY GLASS PAINTS (5 different colors)

                2 CLEAR CELLO BAGS LIKE I STORE MY CARDS IN (A stiff, clear plastic (such as the Spellbinder’s packages provide) nets a better window pane effect but proved to be a tad too thick for this particular layout and application. So I settled for the clear bags instead.

               

*SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS / ALTERATIONS:

*This window looked like a Cathedral door to me, so I chose to use it as such.

1.            I cut two (2) of the windows out of the textured white Cricut paper; leaving plenty of room around the edges for trimming purposes (for the inside of the card).  I then scored & folded my card 12” x 6” cardstock so that I had two 3” front flaps and cut a window out of each flap.

2.            I cut the clear bag into two (2) pieces and taped them to a glass cutting mat so they remained taut and smooth. And taping it to a glass mat also allowed me to see the other side of the gallery glass designs. Then I played artist with the Gallery Glass paint and mingled all the colors, set aside and let dry over-night. Once dry, I cut another bag into two (2) pieces and placed them on top, glued the sandwiches together and trimmed them to fit the front flaps of the card.

                 

3.            I then glued the stained glass units to the inside of the flaps and overlaid them with the other two windows. Trimmed out in black satin ribbon to give the edges a finished look and VOILA… we now have stained glass doors. J  

4.            I used Black Tuxedo ink and a dauber to shade the doves and roof for a little added interest and dimension.

5.            The inside center is just a piece of mottled lavender paper (not cardstock). I had to keep the thickness down to a minimum. I stamped it with the Pine Trees stamp once for the dark trees and then with what ink was left on the stamp, I stamped it another time or two giving the effect of lots of pine trees in the background. Worked out really great.  Everything else is fairly self-explanatory.

My sincere apologies for the side views of this card. I am having technical difficulties with photo rotation.  I will have it corrected just as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
