Design Space Friday Peek A Boo Card

I call this a Peek a Boo cutout card. The center is clear with a pattern paper showing through. You can add stamping, Design Space cut text or written text through the middle too, as you will see in today's Design Space Friday video

The peek a boo cutout piece has a piece of acetate (transparency) that covers the opening making the card a little stronger. I added pattern paper to cover the acetate.

I added a little flower surprise inside by placing a cutout flower in the same position as one of the flowers on the card front.


Supplies used:
Flower Market Digital Collection (Z3501)

Tuesday Tips and Techniques will be moving to Thursday, however there is one last Tuesday technique to share - Creating pattern paper with a background stamp.

I used my Stamp of the Week (week of June 24th) Doodled Backgrounds (D1861) to create a small pattern piece for the Into the Wild, You're Awesome Cardmaking Workshop Your Way card number one.


The version created using the embossing with a background stamp technique showcases stars on the Sapphire cardstock piece across the top and bottom.
