Deepest Sympathy Card
For the front: Place your card with the fold on the left. Cut a piece of green texture paper to fit the front of your card. Cut the largest label shape from metallic gold paper and glue to the green piece centered, 3/8" from the top. Cut a 5 1/4" label from the dark green diamonds and glue to the center of the gold label. Use tape or very light glue stick to temporarily tack the green piece down to the card. Place the 4 1/4" label die centered on the green diamonds label, blades face down on the green paper, 1 1/8" from the top of the card. Place small pieces of clear tape (removable) securing the die (so it doesn't move in your die-cutting machine). Open the card up flat and run through your die-cutting machine, cutting your window in the front of your card. Make sure all layers have cut (if they haven’t, you could run it through again). Remove the die to reveal your window. Carefully remove your green piece from the front of the card (the one you attached with temporary adhesive).
Cut 4 3/4" x 3 1/2" of plain white vellum. Swipe over the top of it with the Perfect Printing Pouch. Stamp the 4 1/4" label in the center with VersaMark™ ink, and stamp "With Deepest Sympathy" in the center. Pour on the gold embossing powder and emboss with a heat gun. Turn the vellum piece over and apply glue (or a few small Zots™) around the very edges of it. Turn it back over to the front and glue it to the front of your window on the white card, centering the stamped label within the die-cut label opening. Glue the background piece over the front of the card, lining up the window opening. This sandwiches your vellum window between the cardstock of the card base and your decorated layers, so it doesn't show on the inside of the card.
Cut 5"x1" of wood grain paper and mat on metallic gold paper with a 1/16" border along the top and bottom of the strip. Glue the strip across the bottom of the card, 3/8" from the bottom. Glue a 5" x 1/4" narrow strip of green diamonds across the middle of the wood grain strip. Stamp and emboss 5 gold hearts. Cut them out using the matching die (or by hand). Arrange them evenly spaced along the green strip. Foam tape the first, third, and fifth hearts, and glue down the second and fourth flat to the card. Tie a small knot of brown twill and glue it to the lower left of the window with Zots™. Trim off any pieces that are hanging over the card edges.
For the inside: Cover the card inside with wood grain paper. Cut 5" x 1/2" of metallic gold paper and mat it on green diamonds, with a 1/4" border along the top and bottom. Glue across the bottom of the card, 1/2" from the bottom. Stamp and emboss 2 overlapping hearts. Cut out and glue to the right of the strip. Take the cut-out inside piece of the white cardstock that got cut out in step 1 (if it has adhesive on it or is messed up, you can just cut another one from white cardstock). Glue this to the upper center of the inside of the card, lining it up exactly with the front window (close the card to align).
