Garden Poetry – Make this Window Pane Style Card With Me. – Simply Said – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln, UK.
If you’re looking for a simple yet striking card design, this Window Pane style layout is a fantastic technique to try. By dividing your patterned paper into panels, you can create a beautiful framed effect that looks intricate but is actually very easy to achieve. Today I’m sharing two versions of this design using the gorgeous Garden Poetry Designer Series Paper.
This style works wonderfully with patterned paper because the design continues across each section, giving the card a cohesive and elegant look.
A Simple Layout That Looks Impressive
For both cards, I created a window pane effect by dividing the Designer Series Paper into four equal sections and adding thin cardstock strips to create the pane lines. This technique frames the pattern beautifully and gives the card a polished finish.
The layered look also adds dimension without making the card bulky, which is perfect if you’re planning to post your cards.
Card Colour Combinations
I made two different versions of the card to show how changing the colour combination can completely transform the overall look.
Blue Floral Version
- Card base: Blueberry Bushel
- Matting layer: Berry Burst
- Designer Series Paper: Garden Poetry
This version has a fresh, bright feel. The blues in the patterned paper really stand out against the Berry Burst mat, giving the card a lovely pop of colour.
Purple Floral Version
- Card base: Berry Burst
- Matting strips: Blackberry Bliss
- Designer Series Paper: Garden Poetry
This combination creates a deeper, richer look. The Blackberry Bliss framing highlights the floral pattern beautifully and gives the card a more dramatic finish.
Finishing Touches
To complete the design, I added a simple stamped sentiment from the Simply Said stamp set and placed it across the lower section of the card. This placement keeps the focus on the beautiful patterned paper while still giving the card a clear focal point.
A few small embellishments add just a hint of sparkle without overwhelming the design.
Why I Love This Layout
This window pane style card is one of those layouts that you’ll find yourself using again and again because it works with almost any patterned paper.
It’s perfect for:
- Using up smaller pieces of Designer Series Paper
- Showcasing beautiful patterns
- Creating elegant cards quickly
- Making multiple cards in different colour combinations
Once you try this technique, you’ll see just how versatile it is!
