Hi all! Sorry for the late post tonight. Believe me, I wish it was sooner. I’m falling asleep in my computer chair while I wait for the video to export! LOL! Man, I need some major sleep…
Anyhow, today’s card came about because I wanted to create as actual window card, window sill and curtains and all. :) So, I decided to paper piece it. To make it quicker on myself, I used my Silhouette digital cutting machine. If you want to create a window card also, here are some helpful files:
Window Template (PDF for cutting out the pieces by hand) – .pdf file
Window Template (Digital Cutters) – .zip file with both .ai and .svg file formats of each piece
I also wanted to try out a sentiment that wraps around the edge of a card…
For the curtains and butterflies I used this paper pad from K & Co. The butterflies were punched with the following Martha punches: 3-in 1 Butterfly, Royal Butterfly.
Enjoy!

Thank you so much for making such a beautifull card. I’m defenitely going to make my own card tomorow, this is something that I have to try. I’m always very inspired by your cards and also very happy with the free template that you are giving us. Thanks again, Kathleen.
I love this! Especially wrapping the sentiment around the front, what a great idea!
I think this is the first time I’ve seen a card and had to replicate it at that same moment :)
Thank you so much for your generosity!

I didn’t make GSD files (what the Silhouette software uses) because I have a Mac and the Silhouette software only works on PCs. The only files there are SVG or AI.
This is absolutely adorable and I can’t wait to try it… And thank you very much for creating a PDF template for the cut outs. Very generous of you!
This is a very cute card and thank you for sharing the templates and all your other projects.
