Loyal Leaves Window Panel - two cool
 
Loyal Leaves You Are Strong Window Panel Cards
Window Sheets create a cool see-thru card front on these Loyal Leaves cards. I CASEd my own cards from about 5 years ago, which featured a similar leaves stamp set called Vintage Leaves. They are simple to assemble and such an unexpected style for the recipient! Too Cool for sure!
 
Loyal Leaves Window Panel - suede 1
 
Background Basics—This version, with traditional fall colors, is featured in this week's LIVE Class Kit! The card base begins with a 5-1/2" x 6-1/4" piece of Soft Suede cardstock, scored at the 4-1/4" mark. The outer edge is a 3/4" x 5-1/2" piece of Soft Suede. I decorated the front panels with a 1-3/4" x 5-1/4" piece and 1/2" x 5-1/4" piece of Soft Suede, each embossed with the Subtle 3D Embossing Folder.

Window Panel—I finished the card front by adhering a 2-1/4" x 5-1/2" piece of Window Sheets. These sheets are clear and thick, providing a sturdy, non-flimsy, see-thru panel. I attached a strip of Tear and Tape along one side of the Window Sheet and attached it to the inside of the card front. Next, I added another strip of Tear & Tape on the other side of the Window Sheet, then lined up the 3/4" wide Soft Suede strip flush to the edge of the card to mount it on the other side. I show how easily it's done on the video.  
 
Lovely Leaves—I stamped the Loyal Leaves collage onto a 2" x 5-1/4" piece of Whisper White cardstock. First I stamped the largest leaf in Mossy Meadow ink onto the piece two times. Next, I added three Cajun Craze leaf images. I finished by filling in the blanks with the last leaf in Gray Granite ink. It's mounted onto a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Whisper White and adhered to the inside of the card.

Be sure to position the strip so that it shows perfectly through the window card front. I love this look! Can you think of other stamped images that would look cool peeking out through the window?

Sweet Sentiment—I stamped the Loyal Leaves image in Gray Granite onto a Whisper White Tasteful Labels die-cut, then added a sentiment in Cajun Craze ink. It's popped up with two Dimensionals, placed at the ends so they do not show through the back of the window.
 
Finishing Touches—I colored a couple of Rhinestone Jewels with a Dark Soft Suede Stampin' Blends Marker and floated them around the sentiment. I finished by die-cutting a couple of Stitched Leaves shapes in Mossy Meadow cardstock and Copper Foil. The copper leaf is popped up with Dimensionals.
 
Loyal Leaves Window Panel - misty 1
 
Two Cool—I'm loving this color combination! The card base is Misty Moonlight this time.
 
Loyal Leaves Window Panel - misty 4
 
Lovely Leaves—I stamped the Loyal Leaves in Misty Moonlight, Balmy Blue and Soft Suede inks this time. Oohh…pretty!
 
Loyal Leaves Window Panel - misty 2.5
 
Sweet Sentiment—I stamped the leaf in Balmy Blue onto the Tasteful Label die-cut and added the sentiment in Soft Suede ink.
 
Finishing Touches—The Rhinestones are in Soft Suede, and the leaves are in Soft Suede and Champagne Foil.
