Magic Window Card.

Here is my next new card shape.

A Magic Window Card

to spotlight my current

Butterfly Challenge #23

Butterflies + V is for Valentine.

I found various tutorials /names for this

design of card and the one I liked the most

and have followed is by 

Teri Pocock

The pink /white heart design paper is

Me to you  With love.

Embossing folder is Spellbinders Mystic (A) side.

Silver /Crystal heart and gems from my stash.

Oddments of red card stock in my snippets folder.

Words generated and printed on computer.

Here you can see the shutter mechanism

start to be revealed  as the card is opened. 

(sorry camera decided to have a yellow hissy  fit )

Opened up a bit more to reveal the secret message.

'Love'

Now fully opened.

Message was a scrap of left over paper

which had been a magazine freebie.

Sizzix scallop circle die used to make the opening.

The cutout was then used on the front of the card to create the closure.

I loved making this card.

A bit fiddly to get the measurements deadly accurate

and the mechanism to open up as a whole  diamond

but the result is well worth it.

Small butterfly  is a tonic punch.

Larger one is a Woodware punch

as are both the heart punches.

Hope you can come on over and play.
