 Basic Quick Card

1. Using the matching or contrasting card, cut a window using nesting dies or a frame die.
2. Cut the acetate using the largest nesting die or the frame die.
3. Adhere to the back of the window.
4. Place foam strip around the window on top of the acetate – close enough to the window so the pieces will be seen through the window, but not close enough to be seen through the window.
5. Mark on the base card where the window is.
6. Decorate inside the window - the middle of the card
7. If a large window adhere some of the pieces to the card around the decorations, so they are still on the background when the rest fall to the bottom when standing up.
8. If a large card place shaker decorations into the middle of the card. Not too many so they won’t shake, but enough to be noticed when standing up.
9. Adhere the frame to the card around the decoration.
