Window box card



Today I have another little idea for the Tonic Studios Geared punch..Dotty Border and the Petal Pairs punches. It's very simple but effective. 





I'll not bore you with the step by step details save to say that I used the Tonic Studios Super Trimmer to make the window frame, and hand cut the little window box. I've also used lots of Scrapbook Adhesives Foam Squares to add dimension.


Here's how to make the "Roman Blind"


1. Cut a piece of patterned paper 9cm x 11cm
and score at 4cm, 5cm,8cm and 9cm .




2. Punch the border and fold in "hill and valley" style as shown in the photo.
Stick to the inside of the window frame.

If anyone needs any further tips on this card  -  just leave me a comment.


Don't forget that there is a giveaway on Blog Tonic at the moment for a set of Petal Pairs Petites. These are amazing punches and if you nip over to the blog you'll see lots of examples of how they can be used.

    Ah Ruth...our paths cross again since our DC days - how ya doing? Thanks for visiting my blog and your lovely comment. Just had a squiz through yours and can see you are still making fabulous cards. Love the punches you're using - are you an agent or what? I thought the little dotty scalloped edge punch was your MS one - is it not? Should probably email you as this is gettin too long! Will see if I can find an address - mine is on my blog, Jx
