This month's Flashback Friday 9.0 Challenge is to upload the first card you ever posted that had a window in the front of the card. I don't know about you, but it always makes me smile when I go for a walk down memory lane and see how far my cardmaking has come.
My first window card was made for the very first Featured Stamper Challenge at Splitcoast Stampers on February 11, 2007. It was inspired by this window card design by Kurtis.
I believe I attached a scalloped oval to the card front, and then punched through the card front with the next smallest scalloped oval punch. I am also guessing that I then stamped through the oval to make sure my sentiment was relatively positioned inside the opening.
Don't you love the bathroom towel I was using to take my pictures back then … and obviously only one light as evidenced by the shadow on the right side (I resisted the urge to edit the photo). However, I do still love the great color combination in that that fun striped ribbon.
So go for your own walk down memory lane & post your very first window card design … there are some awesome Stampin' Up Sweet Stitches goodies up for grabs.
I love it…the colors…the design and that fab ribbon..made me chuckle reading your editorial comments about the picture:) Thanks so much for playing with us at Flashback Friday!!
Great color combo. It’s so much fun to see these older cards. Your resistance to photo editing made me giggle. I feel your pain. Thanks for playing with Flashback Friday.
Your card still looks fresh and new! Will have to look-I think I have made a window card!
Wonderful window card!
so fun Stephanie! I don’t think I would have noticed the towel! I remember that ribbon though! I love this flashback challenge!
I love that striped ribbon, too, Stef! It’s fun to see how we’ve evolved. A great first window card. 🙂
