After months of creating Christmas projects, it’s very refreshing to be able to switch themes….although in a month, I’m sure I’ll be saying the same thing about red and pink LOL.
Today’s card features a die cut window which I created using the Presto Punch heart templates. One of the things I love about the Spellbinder’s Presto Punch templates is that not only can I use them in the Presto Punch itself, but, as in the case of this card, you can use them as actual dies a well.
To create my window, I layered my patterned paper from the My Mind’s Eye Love Me collection onto my Blushing Bride CS and then onto my red cardstock and then die cut my heart shaped window through all three layers at once…sweet!
I then used the Blushing Bride heart and stuck it to the inside of my card with the greeting on it – so that when you open up the card front, you see the bling-ed up heart inside. A fun and easy way to send a Valentine’s message!

Love this card! I’ve tried creating a window in my cards before.
Pretty card. I love the paper 🙂 The window is cute too!
