Project of the Week ~ Stained Glass Window Card

Hi, Deonna here!

For my Project of the Week, I’ve chosen to show you how to make a Stained Glass Window Card using this awesome Repeat Impressions rubber stamp called Stained Glass Window.

Supplies:

Repeat Impressions Rubber Stamps - 9401-N Stained Glass Window, 9717-C Happy Hello, and 8106-I Wagging Pup

Glaze Pens - Sakura of America

Acetate - (2) 4 1/4″ x 5 I/2″ sized

Staz-On ink in Black

Acrylic Block

Scissors

Paper trimmer

Adhesive

Corner punch

Cardstock for frame cut to 4 1/8″ x 5 7/8″ size

Pencil

Foam mounting tape

White A5 Card base

1. Using Window Rubber stamp (mounted on your acrylic block) Stamp the image onto a piece of Acetate using Staz-on black ink twice. Remember to stamp straight down with even pressure because acetate is slick. Use your scissors and Cut out one of your windows. Then, set aside to use as a mask later.

2. Taking your second window stamped image, Turn this piece of acetate over to the backside once the Staz-on ink is dry. Using your Glaze Pens, Color in all the shapes on the backside of your acetate and then allow to dry completely.

3. While waiting for this to dry, take your piece of 4 1/8 x 5 7/8 sized cardstock and lay in front of you. Using the window mask that you previously cut out in step one, center it onto the cardstock and trace with your Pencil.

4. Cut from the inside of the frame out. Corner punch all four Corners of the cardstock. Apply scor-tape around the outside of the just cut out window shape.

5. Once your ink is dry on the backside of your window flip over the acetate and line up with the Cardstock window that you just cut out. Remove the paper from the score-tape and line up the colored acetate window onto your piece of cardstock. Trim your acetate so that it is not seen behind your cardstock.

6. Apply Foam Mounting tape Randomly to the backside of the cardstock around the outside of your colored window and mount to your White card base.

7. Mount your window onto your white Cardstock Card after removing the adhesive from the foam Tape. I chose to Use a Corner punch on all four of the corners before mounting and then after mounting I rounded the Card base Corners.

8. Decorate as desired. My finished card.
