Hi, well hasn’t the weather be kind to us this week? Not much time to get out into my Studio but did manage to get a video recorded showing you How to make a Bay Window card. This card also includes some of the scraps left over from last weeks “play” using the Alcohol colouring technique. Such a fabulous technique!
This card came about after watching the talented Kim Fee of Simply Fairies, who made one of these cards (click here to see Kim’s card) for a Mystery Stamping event she held for her team (of which I am one of!).
Products used:
On this card I have used a few of the brand new upcoming products from Stampin’Up! which will be available from 4 May 2021. For me, the introduction of the new In-Colours are the highlight. I simply love the new colours even though 2 of them are shades of green!!!

Instructions on How to make a Bay Window card
- Place your A4 piece of cardstock with short side to the top of the cutter, cut down at 10.5cm
- Turn and score at 1cm, 5cm, 10cm, 14cm & 14.8cm – fold & burnish the 1cm into a valley fold, the next two into mountain folds, the next into a valley fold and the final one a mountain fold.
- Open out the card so that the 1cm score on right hand side, now fold card in half. Place a line of glue on the first 1cm piece next to centre so when it glued and you open it, it looks like a book fold.
- Cut a mat to measure 13.5cm x 10cm – adhere mat (this is cut to leave a small border all around (including the fold you have just glued.
- Using your Designer Series Paper, cut 2 pieces to measure 3.5cm x 10cm, 1 piece 4.5cm x 10cm and the final centre panel is also 4.5cm
- Layer 3.5cm pieces on the right on either side of the “bay”. Adhere the 1 piece of 4.5cm DSP to the right side of the inside mat. The coloured vellum was placed in the centre panel of the “bay”. You can place whatever you wish on this panel.
- To be able to keep the “bay” shape, the far 1cm strip needs to be hooked under your embellishment – on my card I have used a butterfly which has been stamped and heat embossed and adhered to the inside mat.
- Add your embellishments
There is a video available which shows How to make a Bay Window card.
