Instructions:
Approximate card size is 3 3/4 x 5 1/2”. On Deluxe Flower Shaping Paper, stamp Ornate Window using White ink and Gold Embossing Powder, heat set. Diecut initially using 2 dies from coordinating die set. Use the Window Frame outline die and the small windowpane die. Next place the Window Frame inner die on image, for this you’ll want to cut the middle section while leaving the sides uncut. To do this make sure the side of the window frame inner die isn’t inside the cutting plates, pass partially through diecutting machine, then remove. Repeat this step on other side of window. Use Scissors to cut apart center of windowpane, then score both sides to open the window. If you accidentally cut the side of the window, you can always create a hinge to re-attach the sides. Stamp a second window, this time on Luxe Gold cardstock using the white ink and Bridal Embossing Powder, diecut using ornate arch die.
