It’s Friday so it’s time for Craft Roulette! This week the perimeters were: peek-a-boo card, rain, first grade colors and a distressed edge. I have listed the stamps I used but this can be done with any stamps. Look at this video as a technique to use with the stamps you have in your stash. I know that couple stamp is very old from Crafter’s Companion. A circle nesting die would work just as well as the square one did. The size of the hole really depends on the stamp peek through from the inside.

Directions
1.On the white 6 ¾ x 4 ¾ stamp out the inside scene of the card first. Do this first so you can place your front cut out.
2.Place the smaller nesting die over where you want the cut out to be and measure from top and side.
3.Temporally tack down the blue 6 ¾ x 4 ¾ blue and the white 6 ½ x 4 ½ to the front.
4. Place the die, measure using the blue mat because it is the same size as the inside piece. Run through your machine. I had to run mine 2x through my Gemini Pro to cut all the layers.
5. Pull the pieces apart and distress the blue mat layer.
6. Stamp the I love you on the front. Glue into place.
7. Use the nesting die you used for the hole and the next size up to form a frame and cut out in blue. Glue over the opening.
Love them all 😍
