I've been eyeballing this polka dot paper from Basic Grey (can't go wrong with Basic Grey, that's for sure!), and I've also been wanting to use this cute owl stamp from Inkadinkado. Well, I paired them up, and I love the result! I used them to create this window card for my "I Heart Cards" class this month. I used a large circle punch (2.5") to create the window for the bird, and a small circle punch (maybe 5/8 or 3/4"?) to create the long window at the bottom. To do this, punch several times in very small increments (think nail clippings...eww...) until you reach the desired length. The sentiment was computer generated (honey script), and the cardstock is Bazzill.
I love kickstand cards - they're simple, but different. For this card, I used a clear Hero Arts stamp that reads "you are special to me" all on one line. I cut the stamp in between each word, and stacked them on the acrylic block to make them fit on my kickstand. Try your own kickstand card by checking out the tutorial at http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/ - there are a lot of very different ideas.
Here is a pic of the card standing up, resting on the "kickstand". Patterned paper is Basic Grey, cardstock is Bazzill, Staz-On for stamp, Colorbox for edges, scallop is an AccuCuts die. Thanks for looking!
