Outside Your Windows, Card Style

Happy Wednesday everyone! Lisa and I are here today to share some cards that fit the "outside your window" theme! Read on to find out how we interpreted this fun idea!

First, a super adorable card from Lisa. She literally created a window...one that invokes spring and happiness! it is perfect for the season and will work to make any day brighter!

I love how Lisa placed the pretty, little flowers in the window box. The yellow showing through the panes is cheery and fun. The strip of Hello words adds the finishing touch.

Supplies: Pinwheel (Paper: Lime Rickey, Cartwheels, Sprinklers, Apricot Tree; Chipboard Stickers); Sweet Shoppe (Papers: Pink Mint, Salt Water Taffy)S

My first take has a lot in common with Lisa's card. I also made a window of sorts, and used the adorable chipboard butterfly in the Pinwheel collection.

I mixed some Destination and Pinwheel here...using the woodgrain Polariod frame as my window. I placed the butterfly in the center and completed the simple look with a Chit Chat Sticker for an easy to replicate card.

Supplies: Pinwheel (Paper: Lemonade Stand, Chipboard Stickers), Destination (Paper: Port), Sweet Shoppe: (Chit Chat Stickers)

For my second card, I thought about what I can actually see outside my window. The idea of sunshine and a garden came to mind.

I used the strong woodgrain box as a base because it adds a natural element. To embellish the chipboard flower, I handcut two leaves. A simple sentiment pops against the dark background!

Supplies: Sweet Shoppe (Paper: Marshmellow, Lollipop), Pinwheel: (Chit Chat Stickers), Destination: (Paper: Port; Chipboard Stickers)

Thinking about what you see outside your window inspires a variety of ideas. What card will you create?
