Diary of Two Crafty Girls: Beveled Windowpanes

I'm loving the beveled windowpanes!! Which is a bit of a surprise since my first thought when i saw them in the mini was -- how the heck do you use those thingys..they are too small to do anything with.. ; )

I'm finding that they are so versatile. You can dress them up in many different ways!! You can switch up the sizes, images, ribbons that anchor them down!!..there are so many options. The images look so cute with the "window" over it!! For my stamp club card we used the biggest windowpane and for my DL get together this month we used the medium and smaller sizes. At first i played around and created this card:

But then i couldn't get enough of the beveled windowpanes and became a bit more creative. I decided that this was the card i wanted my girls to create at the DL get together:

it was perfect....i used the same colours but switched up the look by using different stamp sets. For the background i used the Medallion background stamp and for the main image i used the crown from Clearly for you. I added shimmer paint to the crown and changed up the beveled windowpane (used a smaller one).

After a few days of deciding what else we were going to create at the DL get together i sat down at my craft table and the beveled windowpanes were still there.... so instead of putting them away i decided to create yet another beveled windowpane card. AND yes you guest it.. i thought to myself THIS IS IT..!! this is the card for my DL get together!!

Well since i loved each and everyone of the beveled windowpane cards i created and couldn't really decide which one to pre-cut for the get together i let the ladies decide which one was their favorite. Everyone chose what card they wanted to create and I loved seeing the end result when they were all finished. I love seeing everyone's different styles and creativity.
