Window Card with Doggy holding Balloons

I used two card designs to make one, First inspiration was a see threw card and the Second inspiration was the doggy holding the balloons.

 I am using my Hampton Art Stamping tool to make life a little easier because my Early Espresso ink pad is a little dry.

I stamped one doggy and then rotated my paper and stamped anouther doggy, as long as I do not remove the stamp it will be the same.

 With the tool I can also stamp both sets off spot on the dogs.

 I inked both sets of spots and stamped them, then with out cleaning my stamps I re inked just the larger spots and stamped one more time to make them just a little darker

 I used a Dollar Tree make up sponge to lightly ink the doggy's.

 I punched out the doggys with the cordinating punch and also punch out two more and inked them and stamped them with the dots stamp again.

Make sure they are opposite because these will be behind the doggy to make the card look seemless and finished on the inside.

 This mini scoring tool from Hobby Lobby has been a game changer, I keep it on my cart next to my table, makes scoring easy and quick.

I am using a 110 pound White card stock for my base.

 This is a top fold card.  I cut 1 1/4 inches then moved the panel and cut again 1 1/4 inches.

The middle part will be remove.

 I added sticky tape to one of each ends to adhere the acetate.

Its sized 1 3/4 inches.

 Its easier if you adhere the acetate to the 1 1/4 piece first and then lay it on your card and fold over the flap to adhere the other end to the acetate.

 I placed the doggy on the acetate panel and added my stamp to get placement, then removed the doggy and opened the card and stamped in Early Espresso ink a few time to make it darker.

 I am adding foam to the back of the doggy and sticky tape to the doggy that will be on the inside.

 I used some polka dot pattern paper to cut out balloons.

 Here is the doggy on the front and the doggy on the inside.

I added some Bazzill paper in the color Rock Candy.

I made the width 4 1/2 and the bottom panel 1 inch and the top 3 3/4 inch.

 I added sticky tape to the back of half the balloons and wove metalic string around the balloon.

 The other half of the balloons I added foam and enclosed the metalic thread with the foam.

Finished Card and Front of envelope

 Close up, I added a glue dot to the back of the nose of the doggy to press the string behind the doggy like he is holding them.
