Trifold Double-Punched Window Card

Another easy to make card. These cards are clean, fun and always well received. They open out into a Z shape. Duets work fabulously and they are so easy to use. Our new clear stamp sets and message or word stamps with Dee's classy calligraphy are widely available in both our rubber and clear unmounted sets. As with others, make more than one while you have your materials in front of you. You will need card stock from a stationery or scrapbook store that is white on one side and a favorite color on the other.

• Fold the 12" x 6" piece of card stock that has white on one side and a solid color on the other side at 4" and at 8" to form the shape of a Z.
  Punch both top section and middle section of the Z at the same time with the 1 3/4" punch.
  Then re-punch the top section with the larger 2" punch, keeping all lsides even. This creates a colored frame when you see the color come from the reverse side.
  With card folded, ink a solid image Duet using brush art markers or Blending Blox. Mist the Inked stamp lightly with water so it is very moist and stamp through the opening at the top onto the last section of card. Stamp through the opening so that it is in the proper position of the back panel. Note that the first effort was slightly off.

• Open your card out flat, and using the black pad, stamp the outline Duet image over the solid stamped image.

• Make detailed lines of your choice around the edges of the card front with a Marvy memory pen (Artist) and a beveled ruler turned upside down. the beveling tends to keep unwanted ink away from your paper.

• Using the black pad, stamp a word or message on the card front. This can be embossed if you wish.
