Have been having fun making window cards &
here is one with a twist. I wanted to make a
lighthouse and simulate the Lighthouse light
coming on. The twist is a pocket card piece
that is pulled thru the plastic.
Created this Lighthouse Window Pocket Card using:
1. paper:
core'dinations cardstock - red
DCWV cardstock - yellow
white cardstock
sea/ocean scrapbook paper
sand paper scrapbook paper
2. Life is a Beach Cricut cartridge 4 1/2" Lighthouse Square Card cut 4 times - red core'dinations cardstock, DCWV yellow cardstock, white cardstock & sand paper scrapbook paper
3. 3 1/2" x 3 1/2" plastic from Cricut cartridge - for window placed inside on left side behind the Lighthouse with an opening on left side near bottom to slide the pocket card piece thru
4. cut Lighthouse light piece in larger size using scissors out of white cardstock
5. hand calligraphy of 'pull her for light" on white piece cut in step 4
6. place the "pull her for light" white piece thru the opening in the plastic & when you want the light you pull it thru the opening
7. add sea/ocean scrapbook paper to inside right side to view thru plastic
8. Spellbinders Shapeabilities Ribbon Banners for tag sentiment
9. Memento Tuxedo Black ink
10. MFP Lighthouse stamp - sentiment "Light the Way!"
11. Darcie's JCS165 - sun stamp
12. add sun to inside right side above the sea/ocean, did not put it all the way at top since I wanted to represent the sun going down and the Lighthouse light coming on

that has words on it "pull here for light"
