Window Double Flap Card

Birthday Cards· Fancy Fold Cards

3 May

Hello, Crafters.

Today’s video is a project I have wanted to do for quite a little while now but never got round to it. As you know my normal process is to make the first card – the prototype – then one immediately before making the video, and then the video. With this card, I could have made five or six different versions while tweaking this or tweaking that! It’s a good job I don’t have the time to do that!

I know there are already a few videos on YouTube showing how to make this card but I wanted to put my spin on it. One of the big changes I made was to use magnets to keep the card closed after I’d tried Velcro Dots but found they were far too strong. One of the problems I experienced making this card was the scratch marks caused by my amazingly overworked Big Shot Cutting Plates!

During the video, I added in an extra step by die-cutting two more Whisper White Cardstock (CS) scalloped circles to cover up the marks. This resulted in the circle that should have shown some Designer Series Paper (DSP) now showed Whisper White CS instead. After the video, I made two circles using the numbers 4 & 5 straight cut circles using some of the DSP. I adhered them over the Whisper White CS scalloped circles which left a white edging all around the DSP.

I was so pleased with the effect, I made a larger DSP circle to go over the Whisper White CS scalloped circle on the front of the card. If I haven’t explained that very well, please see the photographs – a picture speaks a thousand words much better than I can! LOL! One thing I forgot to mention in the video is about a space to write a message.

One idea is to die-cut a fancy shape using Whisper White CS and adhere it on the back of the card. Another suggestion is to cut three pieces of Whisper White CS instead of two and adhere the third one on the back of the card. Whenever I post a video I always put the measurements of all the cardstock and DSP pieces, scorelines, etc., in the box below the video. On this occasion, I have also put the US measurements as well!

The Highland Heather card was the card I made before the video. On the inside layer that had the sentiment and stamped images, I also used a small stamp from the stamp set and stamped it randomly to make the stamping look less sparse. I didn’t do this to the card during the video but I did afterwards. I chose a stamp with five small circles/dots that I found in the Painted Harvest Stamp Set. I think it finished the card off beautifully.

That’s it from me today. I wish you a very blessed Sunday and I look forward to being back with you tomorrow. In the meantime, please take care and stay safe. Happy crafting.

JanB. xx

    Stunning card, Jan. I am confident as a beginner I can make this card as I truly LOVE it. Don’t have the stamp set, but I have another which will suffice. Could you use a glue dot for the magnets? And I learnt today how to make the circles to cover up the “scratching”. Always wanted to know how to do that. Thank you again, Jan, for a wonderful card. XXX M

      Many thanks, Mal. Yes, you can make this! I don’t know if Glue Dots will hold magnets. I wouldn’t rely on them. This morning I threw those cutting mats away the scratches were getting so bad! LOL! xx

        The scratches on the cutting mats are just proof of how well used they have been. The joy of new plates. Haven’t had to purchase new ones yet but I was “horrified” at the first scratch on my plates last year. XX M

          Hi, Mal. I still feel like that when I start new cutting mats! I binned those I used in the video and started a new pair! xx

    Hi Jan.
    I could not find the US measurements. Also where did you get the small magnets
    Thanks for showing us your talent at making cards.

      Hi, Donna. The measurements are in the box below the video. I show UK sizes in inches, then in brackets the metric measurements, and then in a new set of brackets starting with US I put the US sizes. I get the magnets online from Spider Magnets. I hope this helps. xx

      With all due respect, Gabriele, you could have hit the stop button and moved on rather than leaving the comment you have. My video has been viewed 13,764 times and I’m happy with that! xx

        Morning Jan. Sending a gentle and sincere hug. Last year’s card was beautiful and so easy to make; I know I made 10 of them. XXX Mal
