I wanted to use some scraps of this very pretty paper (it’s a freebie when you spend NZ $110 on Stampin’ Up! products. This Sale-a-bration freebie ends on 29th of February). Anyway I was playing with my Stylish Shapes dies and noticed that they all have double stitching. This means the shape you die cut out plus the negative where you cut the shape from, both have stitching lines. I really wanted to showcase both sets of stitching lines and so I came up with this “window frame” card.

I had a bit of trouble initially keeping the squares even, so I made a template from grid paper first which really helped.

I glued the window frame to a thick white card base. I die cut some squares of Designer series paper (DSP), to go inside each window. Then I added a sentiment from the sending smiles stamp set. This was also die cut using a die from the stylish shapes die set and placed on dimensionals. Finally I added some neutral sequins to finish.

Here is a close up of the double stitching.
