Make window displays in the front of your greeting cards.
Homemade greeting cards can be as simple or as intricate as you like. The different types of greeting cards available in stores can be created at home as well. For instance, you can create a window display card to show some of the design from the inside of the card on the front of the card before it is opened. Use your creativity to choose a shape for your window and make a one-of-a-kind window display card for a friend or family member.
Instructions
1. Draw a shape onto the front of a piece of pre-folded card stock with a pencil. Draw the shape that you want your window to be. Choose a plain square or a shape that fits the occasion, like a heart for Valentine's Day. Use a ruler to keep your lines straight.
2. Open the card and lay it flat on a cutting board, outside up.
3. Cut along the pencil lines with a craft knife and remove the shape to leave a window. Cut on the outside edge of the pencil lines so that you do not have pencil marks showing when you are finished.
4. Decorate the front and inside of the card with rubber stamps and ink. On the inside of the card, be sure to decorate the area that will show through the window that you cut out.
