Wow Lynn, you keep blowing me away with these Monday challenges ... such a lot of fun ~ we do appreciate the trouble you go to to keep us 'challenged'!

This is fantastic but I have a question "probably silly" but I will ask anyway. How does the card close with these deep windows recessed into them? Or do you pop the card front onto the card base after it's finished to make it level?

peebsmama · 02-02-2009, 06:31 AM

This took some trial and error and some scrap paper to get the idea of how this worked, but I finally got it. And it wasn't all that hard... just time consuming. Here is my card.

For my card, I created the window on a card front, not the card itself. After getting the front finished, I cut two pieces of cardstock (to accomodate the thickeness of the folds) the size of the card front and cut out windows that matched the size of the box created on the back. Then I adhered these to the card front and the whole thing to the card base. So when finished, it is four times as thick as a normal card on the front (base, two inserts, card front) but it is flat on the back and closes just like a normal card with no uneven bulkiness.

I tried it. It looks kind of okay from the outside, but if I open the card it looks dreadful - I am sure I am doing something wrong... Can anyone show the inside of her card? PLEASE

imastampin · 02-02-2009, 06:38 AM

This was a new technique for me Lynn. What fun! I'll definitely use it again.

Here is my Tickled Pink card.

Thanks for looking. Have a great week everyone!

Lynn in St. Louis · 02-02-2009, 06:39 AM

The card closes, but not flat (obviously). The recessed window IS part of the card. Like I said in my instructions...additional padding or hand delivery is a better option. ;)

Lynn in St. Louis · 02-02-2009, 06:42 AM

I used the piece of additional cardstock and adhered it to the backside to hid the ugly...lol I also stamped a sentiment on the the cardstock to make it look like it was "supposed" to be there.

What a great challenge. Here is my A Great Catch.

qoedvc98 · 02-02-2009, 06:45 AM

for some reason, the tutorial and template are not showing for me. :( Can someone repost it or is there another resource I can try? TIA

Vicky Gould · 02-02-2009, 06:54 AM

Well, you sure made us work this morning, Lynn - at least me! But, I love the end results and now that I see it really is easy, I'm sure I'll be making more of these - in the future! Here's my

I found some Sizzix frames over the weekend. I was thinking of cutting one out with a coaster and dp - what do you think?

cmsuto · 02-02-2009, 06:58 AM

Great challenge! Thanks, Lynn and Judy! This was fun!

Not so sure about this. I like the technique but I need to think more about how to use it. Or maybe I need not to feel I am shirking the housework. It's months since I've had to work on a Monday, not used to it!!

CareBear2010 · 02-02-2009, 07:17 AM

This was and interesting challange for me, I've never done this before!
Mine is simple, TLC206 Happy Birthday by CareBear2010 at Splitcoaststampers, let me know if you think I need to add anything?
I will definantly be trying this again!

CorinnaOAR · 02-02-2009, 07:26 AM

These are really great. Although, I dont know if I am going to have the patience to be able to try this one. lol

ButterflyEars · 02-02-2009, 08:11 AM

I found this one a little difficult, first I did not cut my shadow box large enough so that when I added the scalloped Nestie you can still see the DP of the DP. Maybe I will have better luck next time. LOL

Thanks for looking taking time to comment.

heavensent · 02-02-2009, 08:23 AM

I vote Garden Diva make a tutorial for this technique, lol ... Wonderful idea, Lynn ... and thanks, Garden Diva for the step by step. I thought I had it figured out from the diagram, but was worried when I saw some of us had trouble ... Garden Diva's pictures made it that much clearer.
Thanks again

LindaB · 02-02-2009, 08:37 AM

This is one of my all time favorites to use when making a card. I've done quite a bit of these. Here are a couple of examples while I go and make a
new one:

I know we're not suppose to post previous cards but I just got so excited that this was the challenge today that I just had to share some cards that I was happy with how they turned out using the Recessed Window Technique.

Thanks for putting up with me - off to create something new!! Teehee!!

scrappigramma2 · 02-02-2009, 08:44 AM

what a great challenge Lynn! Thank you for pushing me to learn this... I had a bit of trouble but now I have it and I LOVE it! Here's my Me & Carrie Lou Butterfly:

annie21211 · 02-02-2009, 08:45 AM

In the spirit of the challenge, I re-did my card to the real recessed window. The design is the same otherwise.

TreasureOiler · 02-02-2009, 09:14 AM

Thanks for the great challenge Lynn!

HERE is mine.

Nessie · 02-02-2009, 09:43 AM

All the cardds are beautiful - but I am still struggeling. Could anyone perhaps take a picture from the inside of the card. I just do not geti it...

GloriousGreetings · 02-02-2009, 09:56 AM

Here is my card for today:

SYMPATHY RECESSED WINDOW

I just couldn't figure out how to attatch my card front with the window to my card base without having a gap created by the window???? Any thoughts...do you cut a square in the card base so the window pops through to the inside of the card??

What a super challenge Lynn! Perfect to use one of the Pun Fun images I embossed last night. Here's mine:

Sahara Hippo

Lynn in St. Louis · 02-02-2009, 10:10 AM

My card base contained my window, thus I didn't have to attach it to anything. My window "pops through to the inside of the card".

letmecrop · 02-02-2009, 10:19 AM

wow, what a challenge for a Monday, lol. But challenges are good - they get your brain cells working (or so I've heard). This one was a little intimidating at first, but oh so easy once you "get it".

Thanks Lynn for challenging us with this technique - it really does make for some pretty cards.
