Window Dressing

By Joyce Park

As I sell my cards to donate money to Christie

Hospital for Cancer Research, I am always trying

to find new ways of producing cards without too

much cost. These four I consider to be cheap and

cheerful as well as being easy to make. If, like

me, you buy the little books of self adhesive

postage stamps, the border left behind is just

right for these little window designs.

Materials Required:

Découpage pictures: DC161,

DC162, DC163 or DC164.

Postage stamp borders.

Scraps of coloured paper

6cm x 6cm.

Small length of strung pearl

beading.

Wording stickers.

Waved edge scissors.

Sticky fixers: ADH05

P.V.A. Craft adhesive: PVA01

Card mount: SF03U in colour of your choice.

To Make The Cards:

Each of the découpage papers mentioned

above are larger than the stamp frame which I

have used as a window but the little scenes are

perfect for selecting these smaller areas from to

use as a pretty focal point.

Peel the stamp frame from the booklet and

hold it above the découpage scene of your

choice. Move it around until you have the

desired area framed neatly, then stick into place.

Trim the excess picture from around the outer

edge of the frame and glue onto the card mount.

Using waved scissors trim one edge of the

6cm square of paper. Snip a length of three or

four beads from the beading and glue onto the

centre of the cut edge of paper so a couple of

beads hang down from the edge. Loosely roll the

opposite end of the paper to make the top of the

blind, leave approx. 2-2.5cm unrolled. Flatten

the top slightly and glue the blind onto the top

of the window leaving the unrolled part free.

Decorate the card using the pretty border mo-

tifs which come with these découpage pictures or

old Christmas card pictures, mount them onto

the card with sticky fixers for added depth.

Finish with a peel off greeting.
